Dove-Howell-Hall Cemetery
Mill Neck, NY
On the high ground on the Joel Fisher Estate, off
West Shore Road, and overlooking the ponds. The
cemetery is to the left of the drive, just before
the last turn approaching the big house. It is on
the hillside of the open woods, but the ground is
overgrown with ivy. In addition to the stones
listed below, five fieldstones were discovered,
probably all marking graves, but all too weathered
to read, if indeed they ever contained lettering.
One appeared to have an "I" remaining on it, but
this may have been part of a date.
