In Friendly, from the intersection of Highway 210 and Old Fort Road,
go east/southeast on Old Fort Road for about .75 miles until you reach
Allentown Road. Turn onto Allentown Road and go 1.25 east/northeast until
you reach Steed Road. Turn onto Steed road and go north .30 niles until
you reach the Ryan new home constuction site. Turn there and park your
car.
Walk along the construction road 60 yards to the east and then 100
yards to the north. You will see a Forest Protection/Reserve sign. The
cemetery is right there. You can also see the cemetery from the east
side of Steed Road.
This is a family cemetery which contains the descendents of the Steed
and Edelen Families. The cemetery was part of the old Steed Farm. Ryan
Homes now owns the land and is going to build a housing development
called Steed's Glen.
I talked with a representative of Ryan Homes. They know about the cemetery
and the family will be taking care of it. They also assured me that
the cemetery will not be disturbed. The burials took place from the
1870s until 1986.
I visited this burial site on Sep 11, 2004. I compared my findings
with the book "Stones and Bones" which was printed in 1984.
