CommentThis cemetery is located 500 feet NW of Buxton St. at #489. It is 1640 feet south of the MASS/RI line. Cemetery was first surveyed by Irene Nebiker in the early 1970's. She described location as Buxton Street Tree Farm. Roger Beaudry surveyed on October 28, 1994. Richard Keene and Seth Amato surveyed on 5 Dec 2017. The cemetery stands behind the farmhouse adjacent to a stone wall. The sign was in excellent condition and was fortunately visible from the road. The cemetery is well maintained in 2017. The stone wall has collapsed in some places and fallen into the cemetery. Only two legible stones and 3 field stones were found. The borders of the cemetery are impossible to determine, therefore the use of 25' X 25' was used only because this is the area in which the visible stones were found. Transcribed by Ron Farrar circa 1970. "Cider Mill Road, Tice's Place."
