I know this information because I have been to the grave, but to make this more proper by Wikipedia standards, the information can be found in The Sublimity of Faith by Frank S. Murray, who was present at the funeral. My copy of the book places the description of the funeral from pages 894-900, but the part that makes it clear that this all occurred at "The Hills," (the farm F.W. Sandford retired to in Hobart, NY) is on page 895. These are the last pages of the chapter entitled "Farewell."

I am looking for information in The Sublimity of Faith that I can use to prove the location of "The Hills," but it is difficult, because the movement was so very careful to not disclose the location of their leader's retirement. This reticence continued long after Rev. Sandford's death, and its mark is shown by the lack of reference even to the state of New York when speaking of that farm. One thing is very clear, though, and that is that "The Hills" and Shiloh are two completely different places, so it is proven impossible that Rev. Sandford is buried in the Shiloh cemetery. In fact, the website for Shiloh Chapel lists all the graves in their cemetery. (http://www.shilohchapelmaine.org/about/history/cemetary-list/) Frank Sandford is notably absent. Also, there is a photo of the farm on page 644 of The Sublimity of Faith. Shiloh is a very recognizable building, and that photo is definitely not Shiloh.

The Kingdom Christian Ministries (current name of the church that continues to follow the teachings of Sandford) has a website which lists Good Shepherd Chapel as existing in Hobart, NY. (http://kingdomchristianministries.org/ministries/churches/good-shepherd-chapel/) I happen to know that this chapel is built on the farm known as "The Hills." So, it seems that what we need is some sort of acceptable link tying the name "Good Shepherd Chapel" to "The Hills," and all will be proven properly. I'm still trying to figure that out.

If anyone has access to any old issues of The Times of Restoration (originally called Restoration Tidings) there might be something hidden in there. That is a decades-long periodical put out by the church. They are probably very hard to come by, though. If you were never a member of the church, you almost certainly never saw one. And there are no significant online archives that I can find.
