| Comment | This lot is located 120 feet south of Plainfield Pike at telephone pole #140. It is 30 ft x 25 ft, in fair condition, and has no enclosure. The historic cemetery sign is in fair condition. There are seven burials, with five inscribed stones and two fieldstones. South of Plainfield Pike in overgrown field, directly across from CY005, Burlingame-Gallup Lot, and 120 feet from the road. One stone knocked over and one broken, probably by livestock. It is on the tax assessor’s map #313, Lot #18.
James N. Arnold visited this lot on 8 Aug. 1905 and noted, “On farm west of Major Gibbs, yard on same side of road, in open lot, not protected, in sight of road; yard in good order” (Vol. 6, Book B, page 1145).
Charles and Martha Benns visited this lot in 1933, their #146.
