CommentAlthough cemetery is rather large, burial stones are only present in the extreme northwest corner. The remainder is devoid of any trace of stones. Cemetery is adjacent to #21 (Quaker Cemetery). Charles & Martha Benns transcribed this cemetery and assigned it #110. They called it the Metcalf Cemetery and its transcription can be found in Volume I page 124. Arnolds records lists this cemetery in Volume 8, Pages 130-131. The transcriber is not listed, but I assume it to be Grace Tillinghast. She describes it thus: "Metcalf Cemetery, next to Peck burial ground."
