About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This lovely old burying-ground is a five minute walk long a narrow lane (Bartlett Rd.) to the south of Atherton Hill Road, about 1-1/2 miles from the junction with Route 9 near Spofford Village. Deeded to the town in 1817 by Joseph Atherton, this yard contains 36 graves ranging in date from 1814-1917. (From the book "From Journey's End to Hardscrabble: A guided tour of the cemeteries and burying-grounds of Chesterfield, NH", published by the Cemeteries Committee of the Chesterfield Historical Society. Originally published in 1980, updated in 2002.)
