Jay Cemetery, transcription by Judith Duncan 1960 vs 1995
CONDITION: This cemetery shows signs of care. Recent grave witching or ground sensor work with red (faded) flags marking all graves. Lots of field stones. Met a Mr. McGinley, adjacent land owner, who told me the Duncan family was very attentive to the cemetery up to a few years ago. Some Duncans live in the area but he wasn’t sure if they were related.
AGE: Earliest grave is 1889 and most recent 1929
