This cemetery is located in a area of a cow pasture (on the left hand side of the road) but is completely surrounded by electric fence. It's very old & the owner's of the Donnelly farm, keeps it mowed pretty well. Many of the stones have fallen over and some are extremely hard to read - others have not weathered time well (unreadable).
It is said that there is a cemetery here, but from aerial photos it doesn't appear to be there anymore. The location is based on a 1869 map of the area. In some records it is called Hyatt Cemetery or Route 283 Cemetery. On the 1869 map, this cemetery is located just south of the Hyatt Ferry crossing between the river and a canal. Flooding over the years has probably buried all evidence of it, but was know to be there in 1927.
Sometime after 1927 it seems that the State highway department in developing route 283, relocated the graves and tombstones to another location as yet discovered.
