#130 Wayland Ave.-Jeff Klein. Approximate GPS coordinates 41 deg. 46' 40.63" N 71 deg. 28' 20.54" W James Arnold recorded this lot 9 Nov 1890 (Vol 3, pg 243) Back of the residence of the late Dr. Olney is a burial yard of the family, lot fenced and in good order. Charles & Martha Benns recorded this cemetery in 1932, their #102 on Atwood Ave. near # 57 Atwood Ave. There is a natural ravine that runs from Wayland Ave down behind the houses on Norton Ave and further down into the pond. A large amount of the property has been filled along the top of this area, and it is quite possible that either one or both of these cemeteries (CR115 and CR116) are completely buried and can be considered destroyed. We were told that there was a car down there decades ago, but it has long since been buried under more fill. When status unknown was given temporary number CR516.
