CommentSurveyed by James N Arnold on June 2, 1895, he described lot as follows: "On the Jeremiah Smith farm west of his house at Lime Rock in open lot not protected." Transcription may be found in Volume 15, pages 23-24. Lot has also been surveyed by Ethel M White during the 1930's. "Jerry's Hill - turn left from Limerock Grange Farm owned now by Mr Easton" Surveyed by Roger Beaudry on January 14, 1995. It is located to the rear of 50 & 52 Wilbur Road and is best accessed between the two homes. At the time of this survey, cemetery was unregistered and in generally poor condition, many broken limbs were scattered throughout the area, and the Jeremiah Smith stone had been broken by one. It was told to Roger Beaudry by Dr Houghton, that it is belived that the granite posts and iron rails which are now located in front of the Jermiah Smith Home once enclosed this lot. John P Di Cola also mentions this lot in his October 1984 paper. Transcribed by Ron Farrar who described lot as follows: "In back of Jeremiah Smith Home, J I Smith Road"
