There were no markers denoting an official name for this little graveyard, but the stones that I was able to read had the surname Applebee:
That's not surprising since the road leading into Milton Mills is Applebee Road, obviously named after a family that settled in the area early in the town's history. I did a little bit or research online, and it's Applebee Cemetery, officially, in the records. There are thirteen graves there.
Most of the stones were illegible, and or crumbling:
While I was trying to find out more about this little graveyard, I came across an article stating that Milton and Milton Mills, NH have 89 documented cemeteries! Given my interests in history and all-things-creepy, I guess I picked a good place to live!
