CommentSurveyed by Irene Nebiker in the early 1970's, it was re-surveyed by Roger Beaudry on November 26, 1994. It is located in a auto salvage yard and is surrounded by junk autos. Cemetery is quite unique whereas it has a six foot high stone wall running down the center of the lot. The lower level contains all the fieldstones while the upper level contains 5 engraved stones. At the time of the most recent survey, the cemetery was in poor condition. The south and east sides had a badly delapitated wood fence attached to the granite posts, and the stone wall running through the center had collapsed in the center. The entire cemetery was overgrown with thick briars which are associated with rose bushes. There was also about a half dozen upright bed springs which were at one time used as trellises for the roses. The field stones were buried under a blanket of weeds and leaves.
