Where is the cemetery and how do I get to it?
Take Rte. 31 West from Newark toward Macedon from Palmyra. Right on to Walworth Road. Cemetery is over Quaker Rd. on the left between two houses. The old Baptist cemetery is behind the houses and is currently landlocked.
You'll have to cross people's lawns. Please contact people or knock on their doors before walking on their property. Look for a blue sign on the side of the road while you're driving.

Why have the headstones been around moved in the cemetery?
Why have the headstones been around moved in the cemetery?
The majority of the headstones were moved prior to the 2021 Girl Scout Project for various reasons. Most of the headstones were placed in incorrect spots to make the cemetery easier to mow. For people such as Elizabeth Harland, her burial location is unknown, so it was a judgement call where to place her headstone. Factors such as where other family is buried, size of the headstone, mowing and also future placements are all taken into consideration before a headstone is placed, at least with the 2021 Girl Scout Project. There is also the amount of work that has to be done, and not every headstone can be perfect due to the width of time in the Summer.
