There are at least 140 burials in this cemetery, and there were 33 stones or remnants of stones that I could not read a surname, and labeled as "unknown". The range of dates of death that I was able to read were from 1819 to 1956. The first burial seemed to be a Martha M. (last name unknown) who died December 13, 1819 at age 2 years, and also with another child listed on the same stone, but not legible. An Elizabeth Averill, daughter of Josiah and Catherine Averill died April 17, 1824, and the last burial was an Etta Paige, 1881-1956.
