About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This pioneer cemetery is located on the west side Pre-Emption Road between State Route 54 and Stiles Road in the town of Benton.

Over the years, it has been referred to as the Head Street Cemetery, Southeast Benton Rural Cemetery, Hazen Cemetery, and Hazens Corners Cemetery. The property was once the old Lawrence Townsend farm.

This cemetery is abandoned and unmaintained. Many stones are broken and/or fallen over. Some burials were removed to Lakeview Cemetery in Penn Yan.

Three veterans of the Revolutionary War are buried here.
