Eddy Cemetery |
|
This cemetery is located northwest of the intersection of the Stratton-Arlington Rd. and Willis Cemetery Rd, beyond the house that occupies that corner. It was a family plot originally situated upon the farm of Phineas Ward Eddy. The stones face east as expected (away from the road). To its west there once existed a millpond that had spread out over the lowland there. It is surrounded by a stone wall with a gate on the road side. This cemetery's first burial was in 1836 and it was last used in 1911. Listings are in order by gravestone, starting in the upper left corner facing the cemetery from the millpond and ending in the lower left corner, following the pattern of the layout clockwise. The following individuals were buried there: |
