CommentSite is adjacent to the former Elder Ballou Meeting House, (burned 1 Oct 1962 by vandals.) It is also across the street from Elder Ballou Cemetery (CU027). It is a open area with no property markers of any kind. It is higher then the road and has 7 granite steps leading to it. It has not been maintained for years and because of its approximate size may have more burials then the number of stones indicate. Transcribed by Roger Beaudry 1992. Grace G Tillinghast transcribed this lot and included it in her transcription of Elder Ballou Cemetery. This cemetery's transcription can be found in Volume 8 pp 87 & 88, & 91.
