This listing was sent to me by Nancy Scott. (Thanks!). This cemetery is located in Section 2 of Franklin
Township. The first burials were made here about 1823, but the cemetery has since been abandoned and is overgrown with bushes & trees
Additional notation by Nancy Scott on May 4, 2002
Alexander Abrell's wife is buried in Scott cemetery, but I couldn't find the stone
this trip, nor his father's, Jacob Abrell. The cemetery appears to have
been vandalized. A few stones are missing, Robt & Atlantic's is tipped over
on its face, and a couple leaning. The stones are all weathered more since
we were there four years ago. Comment and Question from Nancy Scott
Eson, C. (Recently discovered stone, red stone, broken on both sides. The name "C. Eson" is large and clear, but the dates are illegible. This could be George, son of Elizabeth Scott & first husband Alexander Eason, sometimes spelled Eson. George died age 12. Or it could be one of Elizabeth's in-laws. Do you know?)

Walter and Nancy Scott
Nancy White and Nancy Scott visited the Scott Cemetery and the Hicks Cemetery during the week of April
29th-May 3rd. Nancy White sent photos of the cemetery condition and Nancy Scott updated her assessment of the condition. We are most grateful for both of these. I will get the ones for Hicks
done shortly.
