Dennis Cemetery

Mrs. Nellie R. Scudder stated, about 1912, that the "small plot" on the "Old DeMilt Farm, Greenlawn" was a "place overgrown and abandoned." Today the small Dennis Cemetery, located on Forest Drive just south of NY 25A in Centerport, is a Town of Huntington Local Historic Site. Information on this cemetery is found in the "Scudder Collection of Long Island Genealogical Records," available at the Huntington Historical Society or on L. D. S. microfilm. The following information was submitted by David Roberts.
