 Selectman F. O. Chism engineered very successful one-half days work at what is known as the Swamp cemetery in the northwest part of the town on Monday morning, having 25 men in attendance they made a clean job of the entire lot, and for 80 feet around outside of it. MT. and Mrs. Perry from Mansfield, who have ancestors Luried there, were present. Mrs Perry contributed an abundance of sandw iches and fruit for the men for lunch One of our local merchants gave sugar and lemons for making the wet part of the refreshments. MT. Perry contributed cash towards the work, and furthermore said he would give $1O toward providing an iron gate for the entrance to the yard, and MT. Sears from Mansfield, who was with MT. and Mrs. Perry supplemented the offer by saying if $1O did not pay for a gate to send bill to him for payment. MT. Chism desires through these columns to sincerely thank all who so cheerfully responded to his call for help in this matter.
