This cemetery is located on the south side of Fenner Road which runs northeasterly
from Cazenovia to Peterboro. Because of this bearing, and as the
graves are somewhat aligned with the road, the bodies here are not oriented
directly east-west as in all but one other cemetery in the study area (Wyss
Cemetery). With the orientation of the cemetery the stones face westward
with the headstones at the west end of the grave and foot stones at the
east end. The rows are somewhat irregular being ten to twelve feet
apart and actually changing orientation with those at the west end of the
cemetery being perpendicular to the road and those at the east end being
at a slight angle to the road. The rows themselves are not very straight
with some wavering and family groupings that occupy certain areas rather
than rows. The average area for each grave is approximately 3.5 x
10 feet. The cemetery was not well kept until about 1986 when Tom
Sears, of Davis Road, cleaned it up and has since maintained it.
He has done an excellent job of setting stones straight, repairing them,
and mowing. The ground does not seem to have been regraded or any
extraneous stones removed but there are few signs of unmarked graves.
Several removed footstones are found along the south and west lines of the cemetery. Only one unmarked field stone, the broken base of another, one broken marble headstone, one sunken oval grave pit, and one broken and rotted marble headstone were found totalling five unnamed graves. The cemetery is not square, with the north boundary formed by Fenner road, the east boundary is formed approximately (not exactly on the line) by the line between Lots 38 and 39. It covers approximately 25,700 square feet.
