| Comment | Transcribed by James N Arnold August 29, 1919 (Vol 25 pp147-152). He describes lot as follows:
"On the Jackson Tucker farm so anciently known, some distance from the house, and near the wood, is a burial yard of his family, yard fenced with pickets and iron rods, lot in fine order."
Transcribed by Ron Farrar who described lot as "Tanglewood, Fanning Lane"
Transcribed by Roger Beaudry February 22, 1997. Lot is located directly behind home at 53 Fanning Lane. Lot had been cleared and generally well kept by the owner of the property Neil Oster. Lot is filled with pine trees whose needles blanket the lot and prevent the growth of anything else. Most stones are down and covered by pine needles. Arnold's transcription mentioned about a dozen or so field stone graves, none were found, perhaps they were buried by the thick blanket of pine needles. |
