NORTON CEMETERY
The following information is taken from a notebook compiled by Selah H. Tooker in 1940. Names, dates, and comments are his. Some comments are by Charles T. Davis.

Norton, Sarah 7 Mar 1789 38th yr       Wife of Timothy Norton Jr. 
              Timothy  - There is a footstone with initials "TN" (conclusion it is for Timothy)

      About 200 feet southwest of this is another Norton burying ground but there never were any stones there that anyone knows of.
     There were years ago more stones than these two recently found.   It has been said that Miss Elizabeth Norton, daughter of Elisha Norton, is did away with them. Supposedly she worked at night by moonlight and until this day  they have never been found.
