CommentA neighbor told me that a stone had been stolen a few years ago. He attempts to police the lot, and questioned my presence. He was very helpful after I explained my purpose. This cemetery was transcibed and recorded in Arnold records Volume 8, page 98. The transcription made note of 3 unmarked graves in addition to the 3 listed. There is no name of the transcriber, but I am assuming it was Grace Tillinghast. She recorded it thus: "On Cumberland Road from Arnold's Mills to Cumberland Hill going North, on right hand side of road." Transcribed by Roger Beaudry in November 1992. Transcribed by Ethel M White January 26, 1937, who described its location as: "Sneech Pond Road - Cumberland near Anders Anderson's House"
