Another small Putnam County Cemetery. Putnam Graveyards refers to it as being in Kent and adds “about .9 mile from Peekskill Hollow Road intersection on the Richardsville road. Not visible from the road.” I haven’t been able to find out any additional information.

It’s up above the Richardsville road, and while it’s true that it’s not visible from the road, the blue marker is – just.

There are only a few graves and it’s pretty much your typical small cemetery in the woods. The only grave marker that I found of interest was the one on the right in the picture below. It has an interesting raised scroll and what look to me like oak leaves (According to Douglas Keister in Stories in Stone. A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography: “oak leaves can symblolize many things including strength, endurance, eternity, honor, liberty, hospitality, faith and virtue”).
