CommentThis cemetery is located 50 ft north of Main Avenue in Greenwood at telephone pole #42. It is located on the airport property inside the security fence, at the end of the runway. An appointment must be made with the Airport Authority to visit this cemetery. It is 100 ft x 75 ft, in fair condition, with no enclosure except the Shippee/Dawley lot which has an iron pipe fence. The historical cemetery sign is in good condition. There are 22 burials with 20 inscribed stones and one fieldstone. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #321, Lot #4. This cemetery was recorded in 1932 by Grace Tillinghast, whose data is located in the Arnold collection Vol. 29, p. 240. She describes the lot as “on left side of road in grove.” It was recorded by Benns in 1933, their #279. Recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
