CommentThis lot is 100 ft southeast of the junction of School Land Road and Dawley Road. It has a stone platform with granite posts that at one time held iron rails. James Arnold found the stone of Albert Sweet Jr in 1880. There is evidence of 2 or 3 graves having been removed and only Albert's mother Clarissa was found in 1992. James Arnold recorded this lot Mar 21 1880 "On land of Albert Sweet close beside road is a yard walled and fenced in good order…" This cemetery was found, registered and recorded by John Sterling & James Good for their 1994 book on Exeter cemeteries.
