The Ryder Cemetery is located on the east side of County Route 28, just below Goulds, Town of Hancock, in back of a hayfield. It is fenced in by a chain-link fence and contains 4 or 5 stones. It is in need of maintenance, and is overgrown.

My name is John Canary and I bought the piece of property that has Ryder Cemetery on it. I have removed a bunch of small trees and keep the cemetery mowed and trimmed. The fence and gates have been repaired. Additionally I maintain a path and there is a clearly marked parking spot for access. See photos below (click to view larger size).
