This cemetery is located in Essex County, Lynnfield, Massachusetts.

travel approximately 1.2 miles. The cemetery is located on the right 
just past the Lynnfield Middle School.  This cemetery was transcribed

in the Lynnfield Public Library and contain drawings of the headstones
as well as additonal genealogical information on many of the
individuals listed below.  Many of the headstones have deteriorated 
since the original transcription and his notes were invaluable for
providing missing information from several stones.
