Comment
Transcribed by Ethel M White who described it as follows: "Abigail Enches Farm, Limerock, Lincoln - 1937" Transcribed by Charles & Martha Benns (Vol IV page 28) who assigned it #571 and described its location as: "Sayles Family, Smithfield" Transcribed by Ron Farrar who described it as "Reservoir Road" Transcribed by Roger Beaudry November 24, 1996. Cemetery has a stone wall on the North and East sides, the other two sides are open. At the time of transcription lot was badly overgrown and neglected. A large tree branch had fallen across it and vines covered the lot. The close proximity of a house has not guaranteed this cemetery's upkeep.
