pull off area on left side of Oneida Rd. A heavy growth of Vinca
is visible from the pull off. No stones remain and only the Vinca
marks the area as an old cemetery. There are a few broken fieldstone
stubs which could have been bases for tombstones. Cemetery lies between
Oneida Rd. and Rt. 17/86. The nearest address is 311 Oneida Road
