CommentTranscribed by Ethel M White in the 1930's. It was also transcribed by Frank T Calef who assigned it Lot #9 and recorded it in his work on pages 29-31. He described its location as follows: "Turn second left (going north) up the hill and the cemetery is on the right. Grace G Tillinghast transcribed lot and it is located in Arnold's work Volume 15 page 143. She describes location as "Berkeley Section, off Mendon Road." Lot was transcribed by Roger Beaudry on January 28, 1995. At that time lot was in generally fair condition. It was surrounded by a tall chain link fence with a gate also chain link. The odd thing about the lot, is that it is adjacent to an area of about 30' X 40' which is outlined by granite posts. Although there were no stones visible, it looked more like a cemetery then this lot did. No earlier transcripts could be found which made reference to this ever being a cemetery. Transcribed by Ron Farrar who described lot as follows: "Martin's Way Opp Pole #3" he also noted that, "Cemetery is fenced in by chain link, however granite posts extend beyond fenced area, possibility that fieldstone markers may have existed at one time."
