The cemetery is located on US Route 2A in Colchester
Village behind what is now the Colchester Center Fire
Department building. It was originally the site of the
Methodist Church which was destroyed by fire.
The cemetery is in good condition and well maintained.
Recorded during July 1976 by James M Cutler.
Row numbers and individual gravestone numbers
were assigned as recorded and have no reference
to any cemetery plot plans or charts.
Numbers start with the first gravestone on the left
upon entering the cemetery and run from left to right
when facing that direction. My comments are in (blue).
