The cemetery is located at the corner of Garland Hill and Symes Pond Roads at the west edge of McIndoes Falls, a village within the town of Barnet, Caledonia County, Vermont.
All 811 existent inscriptions in this cemetery were transcribed (and a couple dozen no-longer-marked graves marked on the plot map) by Wally Wallace in the summer of 2002. These memorials were downloaded from his website and submitted to findagrave, in abridged forms, by others.
The first burials in McIndoes village were in an enclosure roughly behind the (now closed) village grade school. When the railroad was built, a deep cut was made just back of this enclosure, which prevented any expansion. Land was bought just west of where Interstate Highway 91 would later be built and most of the bodies were moved there during the early years of the Civil War. There still remain the dust of a number of persons in the old location whose names and locations are not known and, occasionally, gravestone remnants still surface there to interfere with spring haying.
Until 2002, the Town's (and Sexton's) records of burials at the new location contained less than 30% of the burials recorded on gravestones, the 2002 transcription project corrected the omissions to the extent permitted by existent gravestones and burial records.
