This abandoned cemetery is not open to the public.

From the Wellsville Daily Reporter, Nov 22, 1920.
…This old cemetery is located about six rods directly back of the brick and wood dwelling house on Highland Avenue now owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Spicer. The following inscriptions were found on and copied from the gravestones of the four mentioned graves:
William S. Weed (Jr), died Apr 25, 1850 aged 20 years 1 month and 5 days, Son of William and Susan Weed.
Caroline, daughter of J. L. and M. E. Butler Died April 15, 1853, Aged 1 Year 6 Month and 20 days
Joseph H, son of H. L. and Emily Fuller. Died Sept 29, 1853 aged 1 years 6 months and 20 days
Anna Delucia, daughter of H. L. and Emily Fuller, died August 1, 1854 aged 1 month and 6 days.
…One tree has grown close to the grave of the little girl, Caroline Butler. Some of Wellsville oldest citizens may remember one William Weed, who was familiarly called "Uncle Billy" Weed, and who in the sixties was the village sexton. He owned the property and supposition is that the Wm. Weed who died in April 1850, aged 20 years, was a son of the old sexton.

This wonderful story helped solve a bit of a mystery. We were aware of this little cemetery, but all the markers have disappeared over the years—except for one that is embedded in a tree.
