| Comment | Transcribed by James N Arnold on August 22, 1919 (Vol 25 pp76-84) and described as follows:
"On a hill directly west from the Loomis farm and across the road some distance on the Old Sweet farm, so known. 2 burial lots, one fenced (SM076) the other walled, brush plenty, fence and wall in good order."
Transcribed by Charles & Martha Benns who gave it #790, and merged it with SM076. (Vol V, p14). "Sweet Family, Smithfield."
Transcribed by Ron Farrar who merged it with SM076 and described it as follows:
"Old County Road, rear of school"
Registered by Roger Beaudry, Spring 1995.
Transcribed by Roger Beaudry December 23, 1996. Like the adjacent SM076, this lot has been heavily vandalized. Only 3 stones and a few foot stones were found standing at the time of this transciption. Most stones had been shattered and scattered about. The map attempts to reconstruct lot per Arnold transcription of 1919.
