Dave Darby GPS Coordinates
Location: Private Property on the North Edge of Cherry Flats Road just
East of Utility Building Owned by Stewart Lisowski.
Access; Requires Permission
[Cemetery is a small (four to six) burials of Copp family members. Those
buried here are members of the Copp family for whom the small valley is
named [Copp Hollow]. Older local residents remember four to six stones
but I could only observe one which was standing and had the following information
on it:
M. Lee Copp
1845
I am not absolutely sure of the date. It was raining and I didn’t have
any gear with me to aid in the reading. The other stones are thought to
be under the leaves on the site and further investigation may locate them.]
