 On land adjoining the Quiaebaug river, Little more than 8 mile ahove Jewett City, at a place now eailed tho High Banks. the Jchnsons. the 'Rlunts ard probably other nsiEhboF- ing farrnets in this sect-on, two Aun-- dred years ago buried their dead, and continued to do so for more than century This cemetery is reached tenm the state highway between Jew- etr c.iS and Plainheld by 8 ! lane through the farm of Derthea Ihioff. better known as the Deacon Johnson farm, which leaves the highway at q point opposite the road leading to the Ihlof house. Some twenty years ago thirty e.ght graves were counted in this bur place, Since that time the remains of the Johnsops buried here, have been removed to the Jewett City Lower cemetery, and the inscriptions on their grave stones copied on 3 bronze tablet, set in granite menu- ment, are placed over them, The proximity of this burial place to the river and spirit of vandalism for meriy existing among the boys of this vicinity, account for the disap- pearance of many Of its monuments, which have been thFewn over the bank into the water for the sake of the splash: and only three stones bearing inscription now remain. This cemetery has received no care for many years. Here closes Mr. Phil lips story. #
