Comment	It is quite possible this is the cemetery uncovered in January 1986 during the digging of a trench for the waterline to two new houses on Charles Street. (see Journal Bulletin 7/13/86) Anthropologists determined that the remains had been disturbed and it is quite likely that they were removed to this location. They possibly came from a small farm cemetery at #56 Scituate Ave. that was the subject of an earlier newspaper article in 1964. Benns #308 - near Fiskeville James Arnold visited this lot 9 Nov 1890, (Vol 5, Pg 644) In lot a few rods west from Peirce's corner on south side of the Dugway Hill Rd. is a small burial yard, fenced, yard much neglected. Grace Tillinghast 1930: Left hand side of Dug Away Hill Road in Knightsville. Yard badly neglected, some trees fallen and some cut down.
