Considering from point of age, St. Maryss cemetery in Sylvandale ap
 pears in MT. Phillips. book near it's close. This cemetery is without the bounds of Griswold in the adjoining town of Lisbon and is on the west bank, of I the sQuinebaug. a little south of the opposite the borough Of Jewett City. About seventy years ago people de- voted to the Roman Catholic religion 1 began to make their homes in the | town of GriswoId. Slowly at first, but ! in increasing numbers they came, un- ] tHriow the great majority of the pop uiation belong to that faith. 1 At first and for many years the
 nearest place for the interment of their dead was St. Mary's cemetery in Norwich. bAtweer CresneviIle and ! Taftviie, The weary miles of had
 roads, made this pilgrimage a great hardship.
 The conditions were endured, how ever. nnfil 1882. when St. Marv's Ro- man Catholic, church in Jewett City, then under the pastoral care of Rev. Thomas P Joynt: bought of William C. Duce this tract of land which from | its. first settlement and for more than
 a hundred years had been a part of
 the: Tracy holdings, along the western
 borders of the river, and set 1t apart
 as q place of burial for it's own dead | This cemetery is handsomely laid oTii in walks and drives and is well kept
 Frequent .burials have made this within a few wears ore of our large
