Comments
Established in 1868, but incorporates 18th-century Larzelere Family Graveyard. Has Revolutionary and Civil War remains and the Grundy family, Thomas Hulme and actor Barry Nelson. We are reasonably sure this cemetery was has been called Greenwood Cemetery and Hulmeville Cemetery.
Thanks to volunteer Peg Felter for gathering information on this cemetery
