Tom Woods Rd runs easterly of Shippee School House Rd. Follow the old road 1/2 mile, crossing a mill dam; the cemetery is on the left on a knoll by the road. It is walled but no stones are now visable. Helen Saino, owner of the property, reported that her father, John Saino, buried at least one
stone at the request of an elderly woman in the 1920's or 1930's.
Foster town council book #3, 6 Nov 1886 has a petition from Horace Burgess
and others to relocate 4 bodies to Westfield Cemetery, Killingly, CT.
(Jacob Burgess (1799-1860), Ester Williams (1805-1866), Thomas Olney
Burgess (1835-1883) and Mary Ann Day (1836-1874).)
Further searching showed the other 10 gravestones to be in the Burgess Cemetery #1 in Killingly, CT located east of East Killingly.
FPS 2014: While the description says this is walled, there was only a wall fronting Tom Woods Road. This is close to the west end off Shippee Schoolhouse Road. It is not far beyond the ruins of an old mill on the south side of the road, the cemetery is on the north side. Property is now owned by the Town of Foster Land Trust. |
