brush. The site is located approximately

Additional Comments:
The assigned temporal period of the cemetery was based on headstone
inscriptions; however, the presence of an uninscribed fieldstone marker may
indicate an earlier or later use of the cemetery. Land surrounding the cemetery
currently owned by Wayne Perkins; his father-in-law, Arthur Bennett, now
occupies a house on the property.
Cemetery is not marked on the Glenvar map sheet or on local realty maps.
This cemetery was surveyed by the RVHS and recorded as the
“Hall Cemetery III” (1986: 133). The
RVHS transcribed inscriptions from four headstones that predated 1921. The name of the cemetery has been altered for
this report to reflect the two family names represented in the cemetery.
