Comment	south of State St, east of Beach St, near corner on hill. Gone now but Joe Woujek (b. abt 1900) remembers these stones according to John Coulahan. Denison recorded this lot in 1867: "This is a little below Westerly Village on the old Lewis farm, afterwards the Kenyon farm, in the stony pasture now (1867) owned by Charles Perry Esq, on the eastern slope of a very rocky knoll, on the east side of the highway leading to Lottery Village and a short distance south of the Lewis Ground. The ground is not inclosed and the graves, about 30 in number, have only rude unlettered stones. Here lie many of the Chase family among whom is named Frederick Chase an excellent man. Here too are James Brown and Mary Brown both of pious memory."
