Sa-sa-na Loft was crushed by a runaway freight train on February 17, 1852. Owego felt so bad that it buried her in a special spot in the town cemetery marked by a tall obelisk. It's supposedly the oldest white-sponsored grave tribute to an indigenous woman.

I attempted visiting in February 2022 and the cemetery was closed. I'm unsure if this is permanent or just for the season, as it is on a pretty big hill.
