This is an old cemetery, which is located in the Little River area of the Mt. Mansfield State Forest, on the slope of Ricker Mt.. It can be accessed through the Little River State Park, by taking the History Hike and following the Hedgehog Hill Loop Trail. It is  marked on the trail map as located off the trail near the Dom McCoy farm. I could not locate this cemetery and contacted W. Patrick Yaeger (Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation) who gave me the following information:

  There is one stone which may or may not be engraved. Information indicates it may be the gravestone of Mary Ann Wingate.  Mr. Yaeger states there are also 2 small field stones.

 

Mr. Yaeger also states this cemetery is very hard to find and is well off the trail with no signs to indicate where it is.

 

Further information concerning this area may be found in the book by W. Patrick Yaeger entitled “ The Beautiful Vale Above the Falls”.
