Comment	This cemetery has not been found Date of Arnold’s visit: Oct. 6, 1880 His number: #128 Arnold’s comments: “on land of James K Tefft beside wall directly south of the above [SK 110] yard about 25 rods [400 ft] otherwise unprotected all marked with rude stones in one row, 25 graves as we counted being the poor of the town who died here while the poor were kept on the farm.” Our comments: This cemetery has been destroyed. This area was turned into potato fields about sixty years ago [1940c] with stone walls around them. According to Woody Tucker, the stone walls were removed n the 1990s, and houses were built on this land. Formerly known as SK 513.
