Comment	This cemetery has not been found Date of Arnold’s visit: Oct. 5, 1880 His number: #119 Arnold’s comments: “on land of William Stedman in orchard west side graves otherwise unprotected.” Our comments: Arnold recorded this lot after SK 52, SK 40, but before SK 86. This sequence suggests a location on South Road in the vicinity of Cardinal Lane. There is a W. F. Stedman on the 1890 Evert and Richards map on the south side of South Road almost opposite Allen Avenue. Daniel Stedman reported the death and burial: “March 1, 1841 – Died a girl of Tennant Stedman at Jonathan Sherman’s with the throat ale (or Scarlet fever) Funeral on the 3rd. Elder Leonard preached from 2nd Kings, 20 ch: 1st v. … I went down to git Elder Leonard to hold the Funeral at Jonathan’s 3rd.” Formerly known as SK 518.
