YAPHANK, L.I., N.Y.
The
cemetery is located on the south side of Main St.
approximately 100 yards east of the General Store and
behind a high fence. The area is wooded and the stones
are hard to spot.
The
area is now part of the Suffolk County Police dog
training area. The stones were copied on 5 Aug. 1962 by
ELBERT N. CARTER.
