Burying Ground Committees Shape Early Town Affairs
Historic town records recount committees to lay out the burying ground into family lots and to erect gates. From 1811 to 1853 officials planned road fencing stone walls and gate repairs, noted bone discoveries, and ordered gate locking for cemetery integrity. A 1853 report laments fallen stones and vandalism and directs stone relocation and wall sale.
