ARY CEMETERY, by Will Ary

Ary Cemetery on Sinking Creek, June 2000

          This cemetery is located on Ary Cemetery Road just off Sinking Creek Road on the north side of Sinking Creek, sitting on top of a knoll. The land for this cemetery was donated by William M. Ary who operated a casket making business from a building that stood at the foot of the hill south of the cemetery. The cemetery is on roughly three acres of land with about half inside a three foot high concrete block wall enclosure. All visible graves are within the enclosure. A pavillion and an outhouse to the west of the enclosure provides facilities for family reunions. The cemetery is very well kept up and is still in use. Several family members have reserved spaces. There is also enough vacant space for future use. Will Ary recorded this cemetery June 25, 2000.
