CommentThis cemetery is located 350 feet west of Glen Road in the far western corner of the lot at #62 Glen Road. Several of the stones were recorded by Benns in the 1930s. Waldo Sprague and Benjamin Wilbour (WS) visited this cemetery "back of the present Sherman place" on 14 Aug. 1956; they copied 6 inscriptions and noted an unmarked headstone & footstone (at NEHGS, Loc. Hist. 3/16). The cemetery was also transcribed by Patricia Bodine for CETA 9 Oct. 1975. She found two slate stones worn beyond reading in addition to the others. Letty Champion photographed five gravestones in 2008.
