CommentThis cemetery is located 50 ft south of West Shore Road at telephone pole #9. It is adjacent to WK045, surrounded by a chain link fence and a wooden stockade fence, separating it from the surrounding apartments. The cemetery is 65 ft x 65 ft, in fair condition. It contains 20 burials with 12 inscribed stones and six fieldstones. It is on the tax assessor’s map, Plat #319, Lot #504. James Arnold visited this lot 24 Aug. 1890 and noted, “south of the Spring Green Creek and at the railroad bridge, under the road a burial yard considerable neglected, though well fenced” (Vol. 2, p. 208). Recorded by John Sterling for a book on Warwick cemeteries.
