This cemetery is located in the Town of Ashland. It is also
known as the Sutton Hollow Cemetery. It is well maintained and is surrounded by
a stone wall with an iron gateway. A small memorial plaque is mounted at the
gateway with the following inscription: In memory of Dennis A. Ferris. The
cemetery is situated on land formerly owned by Allden Ferris of Ashland and is
difficult to see from the road in the spring and summer, when foliage obscures
the view. It is located on County Route 10, about a quarter of a mile east from
the intersection with Sutton Hollow Road. The right of way to the cemetery is
directly opposite a large blue house, and adjacent to the barn.

house and barn are still standing. The house was blue in 2002.
