			ONLEY-HOLLOWELL CEMETERY

Copyright (c) 2000 by Janie Stallings Hill.  This copy contributed for use in

The Onley-Hollowell Cemetery is on the right off Craney Island Road (#1212) 
about one mile from Turnpike Road (#1001).  It is up a lane beside the farm of 
Asa Stallings and about a mile and a half past the Wilkins Cemetery.  It is in 
the woods but the path back to it is passable by tractor.  Asa Stallings says 
the cemetery is on a ridge known as "Head of the Field" and the surrounding 
area was once in cultivation.  The Joel Onley house used to stand nearby.  
Data collected by Janie Hill, September, 1996.

A granite marker was put there by Ray and Marjorie Stewart of Indianapolis, 
Indiana in 1985.  Ray's ancestors are buried here and he felt the need for a 
permanent marker.  Many Onley and Hollowells are buried here in unmarked graves.  
The marker reads:

Burial ground of the 
earliest O(w)nleys
 and 
Hollowell Families
in this area.
