CommentLocated 15 feet north of Wauwinnet Ave. just before reaching Bay Street. The Fosters have been moved out of this cemetery to River Bend Cemetery WY008 although it is very possible some bodies were left behind. Rev Frederic Denison recorded this lot in 1867. "In the southwestern portion of the town, on the farm belonging to Mr. Edward F. Vose west of the Watch Hill Road, about thirty rods west of the farm house, in a pasture, enclosed by a poor wall. This contains near a hundred graves."
