Located on top of a hillside looking south toward John C. Boyle Reservoir is Spencer Cemetery. This older cemetery contains very few headstones and probably contained many more at one time but they have either fallen victim to natural elements (because they were made of wood) or were vandalized. This cemetery doesn't even show up on a topography map, which I found very surprising, since Spencer Creek was obviously named after the Spencer family who are buried here. I only found out about this cemetery from FindaGrave.com
here and decided to check this old cemetery out for myself.
There looks to have been some upkeep on this cemetery by volunteers or family members and I also noticed a newer grave as well as a pet cemetery located just outside the perimeter fence. FindAGrave.com mentions 19 internments here but I counted less than a dozen.
