On Oct. 26, the Warrensburgh Historical Society will be hosting its 12th annual graveyard walk, which will feature five of the town’s most prolific, and deceased, personalities. The walk begins at 7 p.m. at the Warrensburg Cemetery and will be followed by homemade desserts at the home of Rosemary and Bill Maher, 2 Cloverleaf Drive, just north of the cemetery off Hudson St. The ghostly characters portrayed during the walk include: Paulina (Pliny) Moses, a woman whose many troubles included her husband, Samuel; Col.
