OWNERS:

The burying ground has always been retained by the Glover family.

DESCRIPTION:

On the old Anthony Glover estate is the family burying ground, enclosed by a 
heavy iron fence.  There are a number of large cedar trees, and flowering shrubs 
inside the fence, and while the ground is covered with periwinkle, the plot is 
clean and well kept.  There are ten or twelve graves marked only with black 
rocks, which are moss covered with age.  A large four sided granite monument is 
in the center of the graveyard in memory of the ones buried here and whose 
graves are not marked, and to the memory of the ones buried elsewhere.
