CommentLocated 90 feet east of Hopkins Hollow Road at telephone pole #33. The cemetery is located just past (southeast of) the old Hopkins Hollow Meeting House. Turn off Hopkins Hollow Road just south of the meeting house and go 100 feet up the drive to the cemetery gate. The cemetery is 330 ft x 175 ft, in excellent condition, and enclosed with a stone wall with 2 iron gates. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 398 burials with 278 inscribed stones. It is on tax assessor’s map, map #308, Lot #45/47. Only a few stones have been broken--most of which have been repaired. James N. Arnold visited this cemetery on 12 Aug. 1905 (Vol. 6, Book B, pages 1176-1223). Grace G. Tillinghast also recorded additional burials in about 1930 (in Arnold records). Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book
