CommentTake first dirt road west after passing over west fork of brook. Goback almost to field and cemetery is 40 ft west of road. James Arnold recorded this lot 23 Mar 1880 (his #29) "In a Dawley burial ground within sight of the road south side and west of the east fork of the Queen's River, lot protected by granite posts and iron rails." Recorded by John Sterling & James Good for their 1994 book on Exeter cemeteries.
