      Location - East of Hillsborough on Hwy US70 and north on Palmer's Grove Road (SR #1562), turn right (east) on first road, which changes quickly to a logging road.

      Survey - Mrs. Engstrom, Mrs. M. Nygard, Dr. Duncan Heron, and Mr. Mills, logging supervisor, surveyed the cemetery on August 6, 1975. Dr. Duncan Heron made slide photographs of the area, which he made available to Milton Forsyth as scanned images in March 2005.

      Graves - One tall slender stone was pointed for placing in the ground. One may have had 'R. B.' 1804? or 1801. Another tall one of cedar bleached almost white; E? or F? and perhaps other letters. Many graves, 7 or 8 rows, with matching rough stones and depressions. Several tall slender stones and a child's grave in a circle of stones. In dense woods in the center of ongoing logging operations. A large 50' X 80' area, on what was edge of old field.
