CommentThe burial ground is surrounded by Mt. Hope Ave., Wood St., and First School St. Transcribers: JAM: James Augustus Miller recorded this lot before 1904 GSA: local girl scout troop recorded the cemetery about 1988. They assigned the map numbers so any when looking at the data record with a map number was also recorded by these Girl Scouts whether GSA appears in the transcriber block or not. VFL: Photographed gravestones in the burial ground from 1985-2008 concentrating mostly on specific carvers. JES: Recorded a small number of stones in the 1990s, mostly ones that had to be dug up to be read. JWN: Photographed every gravestone she could find in 2009.
