"I found the Inman Cemetery several years ago and have been unable to find any previous
record of it. It is located on the hill above Cody Corners in the town of Fenner and
the west part of it is on the property of Carl Schnitzler and the east (and larger) part
on the property of Robert Wilkinson. The cemetery straddles a hedge row along the
east side of the Schnitzler's board-fenced horse pasture several hundred feet south of
their house.
"The two stones (John and Jerusha Whipple) (the
McEvers Cemetery) which are to be seen in a hedge row several thousand feet to the west of
this cemetery are not from this cemetery.
"The Inman cemetery is situated about 1000 feet
south of Cody Road but a road once led to near the site. The road shows on historic
maps leading to a house occupied by the Inman family. Two rows of large maple trees
are still to be seen along the old road and a house foundation is located at the end of
the western row. The cemetery is about 400 feet southeast of this house site.
"The cemetery is 75 feet east to west (the
western 20 feet being on Schnitzler's property) and 45 feet north to south. It is
situated on a slight rise the east end of which might be artificially built up to make it
level. All but one of the names in this cemetery are related to the Inman family,
that of Freelove Laird who lived in the immediate vicinity being the exception. Five
monuments are lined along the western edge of the cemetery with footstones marking the
location of the individual graves. 18 names are known from stones but 5 graves are
noted by sunken areas and 2 graves (one being an infant's) are marked by unmarked field
stones. There is an excellent view to the northeast and the site of the Faulkner
Cemetery is just out of sight in that direction. The land to the south and southwest
is of very unique geological form, being an area of glacial outwash and terminal
glaciation.
