I looked out of curiosity on this site, http://www.wowworks.com/wowcity/nycities.htm
- but the problem is, many towns have "section names" within the town that might not make any listing. The closest I see is Cayuga - but then again, it looks like who ever wrote it had a slight problem with penmanship or spelling. That, or unless it was a child's writing.

But the only thing that looks sure to me, is the last two letters of "na" (the 'N" just like it is in NY) so maybe somebody was trying to spell Salina with a 'C'.

I googled Gacana NY but it came up in a language I couldn't read.

It's Garoga. A tiny little town..not EVEN a town...if you blink, you've passed it. They do have a great little ice cream place, though.....

Thanks Anne! Apparently they have a Baptist Church too (or did have one back at turn of century anyway).

hmm that sounds more promising though it does look more like Garoga than Granby..Google didn't show a Baptist church reference in Garoga but does for Granby. Maybe it's still standing..here's the image....

I just printed off a picture and I will ask my Dad. We do have a lot of old churches still standing around here. Some of them have been converted into homes. I'll let you know if I get any infomation.
