Other_Information:
This cemetery is not findable, despite detailed records & maps.
It doesn't appear to be still intact and it's all on private
property with no access. Someone either bought & destroyed the
cemetery or bought & doesn't know it exists, despite well
documented evidence of it's location near the Baptist Cemetery
in W. Deerfield.
Support:
I don't know, unless the Historic Deerfield Organization in
Deerfield, MA would care.
