CommentJames Arnold visited this lot 19 Jul 1891, Vol 2, pg 263, on the Furnace Road and beside it about midway from Pierces Corner to the Furnace are three distinct burial yards all walled and well protected and in good order adjoining each other. This is actually 2 cemeteries side by side located just southwest of Interstate #295 and northwest of Phenix Ave. at #767 Phenix Ave. South is the Watson Lot (designated as section A) surrounded by a stone wall 35 ft by 55 ft. North is the Colvin lot (designated section B) surrounded by a stone wall 60 ft by 55 ft. Section C was recorded by James Arnold in 1891 as the east yard. Recordeed in 1933 by Charles & Martha Benns, their #158.
