CommentThis cemetery is located 975 ft. east of Jenckes Hill Road, behind Lime Acres Park. Transcribed by James N Arnold and recorded in Volume 15 pages 12-14. He describes location as "On farm of Dexter Wilbur, some distance from the house, lot walled in fair order." Transcribed by Ethel M White "Old Dexter Wilbur Farm now owned by Henry Welcome Ballou, Miss Estelle G Collier - 1938 Transcribed by Frank T Calef and recorded as Lot 19 pages 50-54. He mistakenly merged this burial ground with LN040 located a few miles away. This lot begins with burial #8. He describes lot as "Back of Bradley Place in the pasture". This description does not apply to this lot, but rather LN040. Roger Beaudry surveyed lot on March 4, 1995. Access to lot is easiest by following path which begins in the Northeast corner of parking lot near ball field. This path travels right by lot on the right. Lot was generally overgrown and some stones had been smashed.
