Notes
Photo - Grave
This shaped stone was found a decade ago by the current (2015) property owner while roto-tilling his garden (which he moved a little northerly). An archeologist, he believes the stone was moved to this site and shaped to depict two graves.Beers' 1875 atlas shows Moses Berry living here, the cellar hole can still be seen at the east end of the pasture.
Research by Norma Berry-Williams, curator of the Sheffield Historical Society, has led her to believe these are the graves of Alexander II and Hannah (Drown) Berry, both of whom died around 1850.
Oddly, Walling's 1858 map does not show a road running past here.
