Notes/Misc Details
NotesIn 2006 eight coffins from this cemetery were washed out of the ground on the north side of Route #37. Twenty-five more were removed for reburial by the Public Archaeology Lab to facilitate the rebuilding of the embankment beside Route #37. It is now clear that Route #37 was built on top of the 3.4 acre institution cemetery shown on the 1895 Evert and Richards map. Route #37 was built in 1963. This coffin plate identifies the person, date of death, age and institution.
