Regarding Cemeteries

Some twenty-five years ago the
town bought a piece of land beyond
the Eddy on Parkman Hill for eight
hundred dollars for a grave yard II
was once staked out for lots. But
nobody has ever had desire to bury
their dead there and never will 50
long as they can get good LOT in
Bloomfield
The land can be purchased Tor a
reasonable sum and the town can sell
lots to pay for IT, This viii be
economy for the town as the cost OF
fencing and roads saved and money
received for the Parkman Hill ground
would be about $4,000 00 towards the
purchase
