CommentThis cemetery is 425 feet northeast of Howard Hill Road and 5/8 mile south of the Foster Historical Society. It is behind #108 Howard Hill Road. Ed Pearson says the previous owner (Knight) of the farm removed the gravestones, Fragments remain in a shed. In 1999 this cemetery was restored and now looks very nice. Deed book 14 Pg 46: William & Miriam Hill to Emory Lyon - reserves burial ground as walled in and a privilege to pass and repass to the highway. Recorded in 1932 by Grace Tillinghast.
