Nathan Cole, died 1828, File 531
Only two graves, that of Nathaniel Cole and his daughter Mary, are marked here here although there is room for at least four adults within the walls which delineate the cemetery. A well-built stone wall, measuring 16 feet square (12 feet square on the interior), surrounds Cole's grave, and there is a 6 by 16 foot addition on the north side made of roughly piled stone. The additional area is filled with a few feet of earth to provide sufficient soil for burial in this rocky ground. The old road which once passed by this spot is to the west and a narrow ledge or step is on the roadside of the stone wall. Nathaniel Cole's large marble headstone is centered in the main enclosure but, because his daughter Mary's small shale stone has been broken and displaced it is not clear where her body lies. There is no indication of additional burials within the main enclosure and though someone must lie in the northern addition, there is no stone their either. The resting place of Nathaniel's wife and Mary's mother is not known, but she may lie along side Nathaniel as there is room on either side of him in the main plot.
