In today’s video, we visit the cemetery associated with the South Starksboro Meeting House. It is also known as the Quaker-Friends Cemetery in South Starksboro, Vermont. This was filmed in late October 2021.

I found the grave of a single Union soldier of the US or American Civil War. He was buried in the last row. His grave was obvious due to both a bronze marker and US flag.

“Most of the 0.5-acre (0.20 ha) property is taken up by the cemetery, which has modest headstones and burials dating from the early 19th century to the 1970s.[2]”-https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Starksboro_Friends_Meeting_House_and_Cemetery

Actually, I found a grave as new as 2016.
