MERRIFIELD CEMETERY: Burials

This small neighborhood burial ground is usually called the Merrifield Cemetery because it was on the Merrifield farm, first settled by Abner Woodworth. It is abandoned and at this writing unmaintained and overgrown.

It is adjacent to the road on a slight knoll, with most of the erect stones far enough back that they are sometimes quite difficult to see. Many of the stones have fallen, but most are quite easy still to read.

At least one earlier reading was done when the ground was on the Watkins farm, and is so listed there.
