Comment
moved 250' from property of Irving R Rowe in 1938 [newspaper 4/6/38]; about 1900 members of the clergy were removed to the Hopkinton Ceme and buried around the ministers monument Rev. Frederic Denison recorded this lot in 1867-8: This ancient burial ground is on the bank of the Pawcatuck, on its curve, above the "Meeting-house Bridge," and a few rods east of the "Pound Road," uninclosed, in the edge of a grove, and sadly overgrown with bushes. Such memorial and historic ground ought not be thus neglected.
