| Comment | The Gibbs-Westcott is located 20 feet south of Plainfield Pike at telephone pole #125. It is 150 ft x 75 ft, in fair condition, and enclosed with a stone wall. The historic cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 51 burials with 43 inscribed stones and six fieldstones. It is on the tax assessor’s map #313, Lot #5.
James N. Arnold visited this lot on August 8, 1905 and noted, “Beside the road on Plainfield Pike and nearly opposite from the McGregor house, a burial lot, walled. Wall and lot in good order, three graves are protected by granite posts and iron rails” [first 3 Gibbs] (Vol. 6, Book B, page 1133). It was recorded by the Benns in 1933, their #147.
Recorded by Dr. Bill Eddleman and John Sterling for a 1998 book. |
