This is an old cemetery located in the Little River
area of the Mt. Mansfield State Forest, on the slope of Ricker Mt. It is
accessed through the Little River State Park, by taking the History Hike and
following the Hedgehog Hill Loop Trail about ˝ mile North. The cemetery is
clearly marked, is well cared for and contains 18 stones. I visited this
cemetery and transcribed the following information on Sept 6, 2000. (Robert H.
