Location:  From Coaticook follow route 147 South toward the US border. Do not turn into Dixville. Before you get to the Stanhope turn, watch for a road on the left called Du Pont. Turn here and the cemetery is about one half a kilometer on the left. It really cannot be seen from the road unless you have a sharp eye and know where to look. It is in the woods but only a dozen or so steps from the road. If you want to view the cemetery, it is best to contact Peter Bellows who owns the land and is very obliging. 

This quaint cemetery with its one tombstone and metal fence was constructed when the William Ward family who came from England built a home here in the 1800's. He was a physician and the home he built known as Hawksworth was quite a building for its time. There was also a church here at one time and the foundation can still be seen in among the trees. 

I visited this burial ground in October 2009 accompanied by Peter Bellows and Ashton Hallam.
