It is on the north side of Upper Cherry Valley Road - and on the south slope of one part of the Blue Hills. At one time, this area was known as The John Mansfield Farm. These directions are quoted from Juliette Hyatt's 2010 online posting: "To find it one goes south through Saylorsburgh until almost at the large bend to the west, where there is a road diverging to the east which soon passes under an abandoned railroad track beneath a bridge long since gone. Shortly beyond the track there is a house on the right in which George Van Buskirk once resided. I was told about 1950 that William R. Beers took his parents sometime before his mother's death in 1927 to see this house in which she had lived with her grandparents after her father's death . . . continuing on for about two miles, one enters a lane sharply to the left and comes shortly to a house in which in 1949 there lived a Buskirk family . . . to the left of the house and on higher ground there is a desolate cemetery, in 1949 completely overgrown with a thicket but marked out by a triangular enclosure within which burials were said to have been made. Original stones were alleged to have been formerly present with inscriptions on them but none were seen by me on this occasion when I was guided to the place by Roy Van Buskirk of Saylorsburgh, who told me that he had seen the stones and had also seen some of them used for materials in fences. Instead, on a white marble slab lying loose on the rocks, I read these words: "This is the Van Buskirk family cemetery." Without this stone, one would have seen no evidence of a cemetery, merely an elliptical enclosure marked by stone piles which may once have been a laid wall but which in 1949 had disintegrated into a heap and on top of them the thicket. If this was the cemetery in which George Van Buskirk was buried, this spot is in Hamilton Township and not even close to the boundary with Chestnut Hill. In any case, the late Mrs. Adam Keiser Levering, resident of Stroudsburgh, whose mother was Hattie Van Buskirk, a daughter of George Levers Van Buskirk, has in the past read five inscriptions from this cemetery, and copies of her readings were furnished me by her granddaughter, Mrs. Jean Levering Losch of Los Angeles, a daughter of California State Senator Harold K. Levering." Saylorsburgh is south of Chestnut Hill.
