This cemetery has yet to be found again. James N. Arnold visited this lot on Oct. 6, 1880, his #128: "On land of James K. Tefft beside wall directly south of the above (SK110) yard about 25 yards [400 ft.] otherwise unprotected all marked with rude stones in one row, 25 graves as we counted being the poor of the town who died here while the poor were kept on the farm." This cemetery has most likely been destroyed. This area was turned into potato fields about sixty years ago (1940c) with the stone walls around them. According to Woody Tucker, the stone walls were removed in the 1990s and houses were built on this land. Formerly known as SK513.
