GROVE CEMETERY, Much work has
been done at Grove Cemetery this fall. 1t
includes the painting of 800 feet of iron
fence, the laying out of new avenue, with
a covered drain the whole length, in the
new part of the cemetery, parallel to the
one laid out last year, and the Strengthening
of all the old stones. There are many lots
which have no one now living here to look
after them and some of the stones had
got out of place. These have had attention,
and with other minor improvements the
cemetery is in fine order and is pronounced
by many visitors one of the best kept
cemeteries in the State. This is due to the
good work of the superintendent, James f.
Fernald, and the attention given it by the
trustees, MesSrs. Charles r. Coombs, W. S.
Hatch and Charles + Swift.
