Lemuel Lyon Gravesite - off Murdock Street

---

Thomas Weston, in his book "History of the town of Middleboro, Massachusetts", in the chapter "Civil History", on page 575, wrote about the small-pox pest houses "Another of these houses was on a cross-road which led from Plymouth Street near to the residence of the late Nahum M. Tribou across to Precinct Street, not far from the late residence of Mr. Foley. It was situated on the westerly side of this road about halfway between Plymouth and Precinct streets, and known as the Baxter Place. But one person died here, and was buried not far from the house. The place where the house stood is now grown up to woods".
