CommentIn 2012 it is 65 ft. east of the original location in the landscaping of a shopping center at the corner of Sockanosset Cross Road and New London Ave. In 1998 it was on a hillside near (10 feet) an abandoned building with a large chimney on th state institution land at Howard. There are a few iron posts around the cemetery that at one time held chains. James Arnold visited this lot 23 Aug 1891 (Vol 1, pg 192) On the Samuel H Arnold Farm now owned by the State and near the Reform School Chapel, without protection a small burial yard.
