Located in the hamlet of Kysorville within the town of West Sparta, New York, this cemetery contains burials dating from 1831 to 1980. The grounds hold many early residents, including members of the Muchler, Thompson, and Marsh families who settled in the region during the early 19th century.

The cemetery is the final resting place for several veterans spanning three major conflicts:

  • Civil War: Six veterans are interred here: Charles Coe, Stephen Kemp, Andrew Kennedy, Samuel Smith, John C. Thompson, and Uri H. Whiting.
  • World War I: Frank Jones served as a corporal with the 19th Field Artillery, 5th Division. He served on the front lines in France and was discharged in 1919.
  • Vietnam War Era: Silviu Brown served in the U.S. Army from 1961 to 1963.
