Howdy, This is a great web site to find obscured Cemeteries as well as other landmarks. Take a little practice to use. I found all references to the "Stafford" Family and found a little known Stafford Cemetery in Chenango County near Oxford, New York.
Google "GNIS" and look for the "Query Form For The United States And Its Territories"

Start with "feature class" pull down and select "cemetery" and pull down "State". Wait for the "County" pull down to auto fill and all Cemeteries that ever was documented in previous editions of USGS Topographical maps are listed. Cross referenced this to Google Earth and you could experience a virtual fly over from you location to your destination. You may have to note the closest cross streets for those rural locations. With Google Earth you would quickly find up to date landmarks to help you navigate.

This is the URL Address to Copy and Paste.

This was the epitaph according to Historical Wyoming, Oct 1954 issue, listing the burials in Pearl Creek Cemetery that you had asked about.

A few years ago I saw a posting about a "Hulse" cemitary on Long Island that was in danger of being washed away by the sea. The Post was a few years old then. I am wondering if Sandy wiped it out? Their was a picture of a tree and the comment that the roots of the tree was all that kept it from washing away. I would like any information about this cemetery that anyone has. Thanks
