COMMENTS:
Located near Canaan, on Scott Ridge Road just over 1 mile from Highway 250 on the South side of the road.
A note on the 1941 DAR list says, a stranger came to the Welch home and died that same night & was buried here. The family did not know his name.
According to Bob Scott, Samuel and Jane Welch's tombstone was a single marker, that was broken; and, Jane's portion is now missing.
