Comment	#130 Wayland Ave.-Jeff Klein. Approximate GPS coordinates 41 deg. 46' 40.63" N 71 deg. 28' 20.54" W This cemetery was last seen in 1931 when it was recorded by Charles & Martha Benns and we are told in 2016 that it has been buried under tons of fill dumped into the wetland ravine. There is a natural ravine that runs from Wayland Ave down behind the houses on Norton Ave and further down into the pond. A large amount of the property has been filled along the top of this area, and it is quite possible that either one or both of these cemeteries (CR115 and CR116) are completely buried and can be considered destroyed. We were told that there was a car down there in the 1970s or 1980s, but it has long since been buried under more fill. James Arnold recorded this lot 9 Nov 1890 (Vol 3, pg 243) Back of the residence of the late Dr. Olney is a burial yard of the family, lot fenced and in good order. When the status was unknown it was given temporary number CR512.
