CommentAlong side route #2 near Exeter Highway garage just north of Slocumville Road. James Arnold recorded this lot 22 Mar 1880 (his #21) "A distance northeast from Gardner's corner in a lot unprotected an old Gardiner burial ground somewhat neglected where we read on dark slabs only." then he adds "since has been granite post and iron railed." Recorded by John Sterling & James Good for their 1994 book on Exeter cemeteries.
