Rider Cemetery
Also Known As

Exeter, Otsego County, NY



Mulligan Road
Cemetery located on the Peter Dyn Farm 

Condition: Terrible!  Overgrown with berry bushes and brush. 
Only those stones visible were read. 
There may be more beneath the surface sod. 
Remnants of a fence still exist. 
Read by Jerry E Reed, August 4, 2001, and re-read August 18, 2001. 

Just beyond the gated entrance there appears to be a Rider stone made of shale.
The surface has flaked off and inscription is not readable.
