Comment
James Arnold visited this lot 13 Mar 1891 (Vol 1, Pg 74) A few rods south of the Knightsville Station and a short distance from the railroad bridge there is quite an extended burial lot of the poor who died on the Town farm. We understand that the first burial of the poor on this farm was precisely where the railroad bridge now is and were removed here when the railroad was built.
