Index of the "South East Burying Ground"

Bob Garrigus has two of his ancestors, Samuel and Ruth (née Cowles) Upson interred at this cemetery and has kindly submitted the following:

This cemetery lies just off the Southern edge of Southington Reservoir and Wonx Road. Wonx Road is actually a private service road that is blocked from other than Water Department vehicles. However, walking back on the road about 100 meters or so leads one to the cemetery which is now out-of-use but has been maintained somewhat by a local Boy Scout troop. You can find the opening to Wonx Road at the intersection on East Street and County Road.
