CommentAlso referred to in some records as Hamlet Tombs. Established in 1851. Formally abandoned in 1920's, although abandonment took place many years sooner. No records exist. No markers exist. Land was stripped many years ago. Some bodies were discovered in 1948. Bernon Street passes through. Number of burials shown is number that has been confirmed from various records. No cemetery records have survived. There is some evidence to show that some bodies originally buried here were moved to other cemeteries. Tax Assessor's file # 16.
