In the woods east of Sheldrake Cemetery. There is no sign and the site is overgrown and the ground uneven. There are a few fallen stones. I could read "Grove" on one and "Neal" on the other. The rest are most likely buried.
Two stones still stand in the center of the grove. Samuel Ingersoll and his wife, Jerusha.
Ovid historian, Gail Snyder, has planned a spring 2013 restoration providing funds become available.

The Methodist Episcopal Church, to which this cemetery belonged, was located about 15 rods to the east on the same side of the road. The Church was organized on June 13, 1811 and was the first M.E. Church in the town of Ovid, if not the county.
