The Kyle Cemetery (also knows as the Lost Nation Cemetery) is located on the Brasher Center Road, County Road 38. (At the intersection of State Highway 420 and County Road 38, CR38 towards Norfolk becomes the Plum Brook Road, and CR38 towards Brasher Center, becomes the Brasher Center Road). One tenth of a mile from the intersection of State Highway 420 and the Brasher Center Road, there is a lane that leads to the cemetery. The cemetery is not visible from the road. The lane is adjacent to a residence and is on the right hand side of the road, heading towards Brasher Center.

The cemetery is shown on the Brasher Falls 7.5 minute topo map, and is listed in GNIS. The coordinates are 44 51 22 North and 074 50 53 West. The cemetery is maintained by the Town of Norfolk. Kyle Cemetery is also known as Lost Nation Cemetery.

There appear to be forty to fifty burials and the earliest burial seemed to be possibly 1838 (Sen. William Story) or possibly 1847 (Timothy Raymond) and the latest burial seemed to be 1960 (Esther Kyle).

Note:  In August 2000, Jim Spencer and Norfolk American Legion members repaired stones, re-set stones in their foundations, and greatly improved the appearance of this cemetery. (Thanks to Leon H. Burnap, Town of Norfolk Historian, for bringing this to my attention via e-mail)!

 The following notes were included with a 1957 stone census on Kyle Cemetery that Leon Burnap, Historian provided.

 This old cemetery is located in the extreme eastern part of the town of Norfolk about a half mile east of the Winthrop-Massena State Road--on a dirt road leading from the Lost Nation Schoolhouse into the town of Brasher.

 Miss Esther Kyle, has furnished considerable information about burials there.

 For years, it has been almost impossible to get around in the cemetery on account of the mass of weeds, lilacs, and other wild bushes; during the summer of 1957, the town of Norfolk cut out the dense tangled growth so one can get to the stones and markers.

 It is certain there are many buried there in unmarked graves, and it is not possible to find out their names. It is most likely this cemetery was taken off the Raymond farm.
