Graves Of the Carfields.

In an abandoned graveyard In the heart
of Worcester village, in this county. are
the graves of the grandparents and the
great grandparents of the late President
Garfield. Worcester wa sthe old Garfield
home. Abram Garfield. the father of the
President, left the place for Ohio at
of the family lived there. Solomon Gar
field. the grandfather, was born In wor-
cester. in 1T75, and lived his whole life
there.
After bitter fight a bank has secured
the right from the town to build new
banking house on the old cemetery prop
erty. The excavation has been made.
and the foundations are in course of con-
struction. The burying ground covered
a quarter of an acre, and 1t was not
known just where the graves of the mar
tyred Presidents ancestors were located.
When the Garfield family was appealed TO
they decided to leav the mattr to the citi-
zens.
James Nelson. a resident OF Worcester,
has in his possession letter from Presi-
dent Garfield, written shortly before his
assassination. wherin he expresses a
hope to be able soon to visit Worcester
and atten dto the last resting places OF
his ancestors. One of the places which
he was intending to visit on the trip he
was about to take was Worcester-Coop.
