The cemetery consisted of two distinct lots, and after his visit here on 26 Feb 1880, James N. Arnold wrote, "old Sherman burial grounds on plain north west a short distance from Barber's Pond. The northwest yard contains 4 youths from 4-18 years of age. No doubt the plow has obliterated many as the lot is entirely unprotected." He continued, "The larger yard contains 11 full and 2 small graves. As these lots are in open plain and entirely unprotected no doubt the plow here has destroyed many of the graves. One of these marked "M. S. 98" we understand to be that of Martha Sherman who died a very aged person."
