The May-Peter-Stokes-Raysor cemetery is in excellent condition, with good upkeep. It too is on 61, but about 6-8 miles west. The Shieder Raysor Risher (should be called Raysor Tavern Cemetery) is located precisely in the location of the Raysor Tavern shown on Mills Atlas. To get to the Shieder-Raysor-Risher Cem & Tavern site, go West on 61 from Canadys Crossroads 1.6 miles. Turn right on Liberty Lane, go about .3 miles to gate with big NO TRESPASSING signs. Turn right into open field immediately BEFORE the gate, follow the tree line (cedars) about .3 miles to pine stand of trees directly in front of you. Park and walk the tree line toward Hwy 61, on the left about 30 yards up you will notice the earthen berm under the thick undergrowth. The cemetery is bounded on the North by a cliff which drops off to swamp. On the south by planted pines. On the West by field and on the East by rough woods. The oldest surviving stone is that of Henry O. Raysor, died in 1836. I'll send pics as soon as I transfer them. -Bev
