Comment | This cemetery is located 20 feet north of White Pond Road. It is equidistant from Peddlerd Pond, Turtle Pond and White Pond. It is 3300 feet south of Tuckertown Road at telephone pole #25. Turn south on White Pond Road, and go 3,700 feet to a gravel trail just before telephone pole #13 where you will turn left. There are signs here pointing to lot #946L and 946G. Follow this trail for about a thousand feet to a house by Tucker Pond on the right. Proceed another five hundred feet to a gravel road on the left. Walk left for eighty feet to a gate made of small saplings. The cemetery is on the left just inside this gate, about fifty feet on top of a small knoll. It is 28 feet square, in good condition, with no enclosure or historical cemetery sign. There are three burials here with three inscribed granite stones.
We were directed to this cemetery by H. Winfield Tucker who lives nearby and owns sod farms in Slocum. He indicated that the Roundtrees were “summer people” and that Herman was an editor of Field and Stream Magazine.
