With the assistance of 'Angels in America', the Cemetery was able to erect a monument for the 83 babies in unmarked graves between the 1920s and 1990s. We thank trustees Joan Gladu and Carol Damon for seeing this through completion.
Repair of Stairs from the Footbridge to the Cemetery
2014
In 1919, wooden stairs were built to ascended the hill to access the cemetery from the footbridge at the Nemasket River.
In 1944, the footbridge was rebuilt with new concrete steps. After 70 years of neglect, trustee Bob Soderbom located and cleared the steps for ease of access to the river. Is the rebuilding of the footbridge in our future?
