Suttles Chapel Cemetery is located about a mile north of Jeannette on the road from Jeannette to Holladay. It is indicated on the U.S.G.S. Sugar Tree quadrangle (1986) south of Little Lick Creek. The cemetery dates to the early nineteenth century as indicated by the large number of fieldstone-marked graves and is much older than the adjacent church. There may 200 or more fieldstone-marked and unmarked graves. Note that some of the fieldstones have names and dates scratched on them. However, at best these can only be read under the most favorable light. Suttles Chapel seems to have been the primary cemetery for the area before World War I. Jeannette Cemetery (Salem Cemetery) largely superseded Suttles Chapel as the primary cemetery for the area after World War I. However, Suttles Chapel has remained in use.
