Burton Family Cemetery

Contributed by: Homer Musselman
This cemetery is located off Fleet Road (Route #750) near Harold Lantz's Meat Packing facility. Turn into Harold's driveway and go to the end of the road. The cemetery, which is overgrown, is located in a group of trees about a 300 feet on the right.

This was a large cemetery and there is evidence of numerous unmarked graves. There was only one tombstone.

 BURTON FAMILY CEMETERY  #3             TM-44   Parcel-71

From I95, go north on Route 17 to Fleet Road on the right.  Go about 3-4 tens of a mile and turn right onto a dirt road.  At the end of the road is an auto salvage shop.  Stop before the entrance and the cemetery is on the right across the field by a grove of trees about 100 feet.  The two headstones are in front of the grove.  There is one headstone  already noted, and the other, recently found, right beside it half dug out.  There is evidence of many other graves beside them in the grove of trees, but the groundhogs have built a large colony there.  It is extremely overgrown and neglected.  The half buried headstone has been plowed over for years until recently exposed.
