This cemetery looks to have just one tomb and it is embedded in a grassy hill. There are seven names chiseled on the two doors to the tomb. The door on left shows three names of the Brown family, the one on the right displays four Weeden family names. The earliest date of death is 1837; the latest is 1916.
It is located to the north side of Nate Whipple Highway (Route 120) a few hundred yards northeast from the junction with Mendon Road (Route 122). The property border is more or less rectangular and completely surrounded by a stone wall. The entrance arch is made from three slender stones, and is low enough that an adult needs to duck down to fit beneath. A black iron gate with no lock is attached to the street side of the opening. A pair of mature pine trees stand parallel between the entry and the tomb. The majority of the cemetery is covered in grass along with a few deciduous trees.
