Additional Comments:
Assigned temporal period was based on the 1904 through 1925 range of
death dates inscribed on observed headstones.
However, the presence of an uninscribed fieldstone marker and unmarked
graves may reflect an earlier or later use of the site. The cemetery is marked not marked on the USGS
Stewartsville map sheet or on local realty maps. This cemetery was initially surveyed by RVHS
and one grave with a headstone inscription that predated 1921 was documented
(1986: 143). The cemetery is located in a yard about 15
feet to the east of Route 651 (
