CommentThis cemetery is located behind the house at #5 Connors Farm Dr. Transcribed by James N Arnold Sept 27, 1919 (Vol 25 pp 316-321). Hedescribes lot as follows: "On the --------farm, lot well protected and in good order" Some stones transcribed by Grace G Tillinghast, Oct 13, 1932 (Vol 25, page 319). Transcribed by Ron Farrar, who described lot as follows: "Homestead farm, Mann School Road" Transcribed by Roger Beaudry March 2, 1997. Lot is made up of one area of stones approximately 30' x 30' surrounded by granite posts and iron rails and stones in an open area. Lot is in excellent condition and obviously maintained by some person or organization. Not only is the cemetery surrounded on three sides by a chain link fence, but so is the right of way leading to it. In the southeast corner of the lot is a large stone with a bronze plaque which reads: "In memory of John Steere 1634-1724 and his wife Hannah Wickenden. Their last homestead included this site. "Honor thy father and thy mother". The Steere Family Association-1977
