Prisoners Cemetery
Located Near Old Newgate Prison
This cemetery is in a clump of trees and bushes
in a field in back of the farmhouse belonging to Jenny W. Kellogg. It is about
a mile down the road leading from the prison towards 107-3. The plot is perhaps
twenty feet square. There are about twenty stones in it. Not one of them is
inscribed. The prisoners were taken down here from the prison and buried according
to the story told around here.
