At one time, New Road stretched from the Range Road through to Route 126. However, this road no longer goes through to 126 but dead-ends at a family farm. The Hanson graveyard is located on this family farm. With permission from the owners, one can make his way behind the barn and past the horse pasture to the tree line where, after trampling through the brush and poison ivy, the small graveyard can be found. There are six tombstones, five of which are lying flat on the ground overgrown with myrtle. The only one standing is that of Elijah Tuttle, soldier in the Civil War. The monument stands proudly with a perky American flag beside it.

There is also another Hanson graveyard on this property which contains older graves. It is an unkempt graveyard as well; very small and unnoticeably situated in the treeline to the right of the barn. It contains the graves of:

Nathaniel Hanson, died May 28,1829, age 75 yr;
Agnes, his wife, died Jan 5, 1836, age 87 yr;
Infant son of Nathaniel Hanson; and
Rhoda J., wife of Ingraham, died May 22, 1852, age 52 yr.

Other graves are marked with fieldstones.
