Hi,
I also have been looking for a list. I would not be surprised if there isn't one. The board of trustees for this "private" cemetery all were forced to resign in the last couple months. The cemetery is in very sad shape with stones off in the woods, covered with brush, over turned, etc. It is a sad situation and long story, but thanks to the hardwork and dedication of an 18 yr old Eagle Scout it will hopefully all turn around. Anyway, a new oversight committee has been appointed. Off the top of my head, I forget the guy's name that is the head of it, Tom, I think. He is the weekend supervisor at the Buttonwood Museum in Haverhill. I think it is the Pentucket Restoration & Preservation Organization or something like that.
I recently wrote to him and volunteered to help compile a list if there isn't one, and also help with cleaning up the grounds. I have at least a couple gg grandparents there and can't find their stones. I figure if I have to look at every stone I might as well right them down :-)
It was obviously once a beautiful cemetery with rolling hills and winding paths. I have faith in the near future conditions will improve.
Who are you looking for? Maybe I can help when the snow melts. I only live 10-15 minutes away from there.
