This old abandoned cemetery lies a short distance off Route 22, in sight from the highway, and is about opposite the cemetery now in use. Some stones are undecipherable, so this list is incomplete.

[Transcriber's note:-- The letters are often filled in, probably because of ink filling the small indents of the font. This makes some letters difficult to read - for instance, the "e" is just a blob. Those that can not be deciphered will be replaced by a dash (-). ..jd]
