Friend Cemetery

Located behind the Hector Monthly Meetinghouse, on Perry City Road just west of the intersection with Jacksonville Road, Town of Ulysses, Tompkins County, NY. All the stones were simple in design and similar in size, most about a foot tall and a bit over a foot wide. Many of the graves were planted with day lilies or irises.
