Hi All,
I was in Townshend last weekend and, of course, checked out the
cemetery(s).  There is a fairly prominent one on Route 30 that I have been
meaning to stop at for a long time.  While I was there, I noticed a small
one diagonally across the street.  Since it is not easily visible from the
road, I thought I'd copy the inscriptions and post them - just in case they
were of any help to anyone.

There was out behind this, another fenced-in graveyard with a very few
stones still visible (many were broken and mostly buried).  I was able to
make out that there are some stones for TWITCHELL & HARWOOD and one for
Homer T. KING, b. Starlight, LA, 14 Feb 1871; d. Townshend, VT., 5 Sep 1899.

Hope this helps someone!
