10 by 24 feet and unfenced. Burial period: 1852 - 1872. This was the farm of Richard Brownell. In 1866 his son Harvey Brownell lived on this farm with his spinster sisters and widowed mother in an 1800 house. In 1985 there were four stones standing and one fallen, and it was overgrown with lilacs. The cemetery was restored by volunteers.
