From its intersection with Glines Hill Road, drive south on Young’s Hill Road 0.8 miles to a turn-around. Park and continue on foot or ATV for 0.3 miles more. The small family cemetery is 150 feet to the right (west) and is surrounded by a split-granite wall on three sides and the stone boundary wall on the other.

Historical Information: This small cemetery contains the graves of William Elwell, his wife Harriet, and their children Abigail, William S., and Royal. There is also a headstone for his son Enoch, though it is a cenotaph. Enoch died in the Civil War and is buried in the Cold Harbor National Cemetery in Virginia. 

Condition (12/24/2019): The area around this cemetery was recently logged but the cemetery site was left untouched. All of the gravestones are lying face-up on the ground. The footstones appear to be in their original conditions and the headstones match with them.
