Road to Shun Pike (south of the Cape May Canal); as you enter
from Seashore Road, the burial plots are about halfway down on the right,
midway between the "pagoda" circle and the "cross" circle. The closest
headstone to the road is "Gilligan"; several headstones back is the one
for John and Ann Benson, close friends of Grandma and Grandpa, who are
buried side-by-side to the left, their graves marked by ground-level
plaques.
