CommentLocated on the lawn at the corner of Avice Street and Pleasant Avenue. James N. Arnold visited this lot March 6, 1880, his #59, "On land of James C. Dillon between his house and barn beside his lane is an old Brown burial yard fairly protected although lot overgrown with weeds." Otis Wyatt was able to read the inscriptions on five gravestones in 2003. They are in the corner of the lot laid flat right next to the road. We are told this area was a dump in the early 1950s when the area waas cleared to build houses. The cemetery is probably not in the location where the stones now rest.
