"This ancient burial yard is in the town of Hopewell, near the Manchester line, one mile south of Shortsville. It is one of the oldest graveyards in Ontario County, and contains the earthly remains of some of the worthy pioneers of this section. These inscriptions will be of interest to many of the old time families." from Shortsville Enterprise 1891
