! A few years ago the Bluehill
Cemeteries Corporation came into
existence, principally through the
efforts of Mrs. V. P. Kline, who
had long desired that the resting
places of the earlier settlers of the
town should be properly cared for.
Previous to this, Mrs. Kline had
placed tablets on the graves of
Joseph Wood and his wife, Ruth
| Haskell, who were her great-great-
grandparents. Recently she has
had work done on the lot of Nehe-
miah Hinckley, ST.. Her great
grandfather, who was soldier of
the Revolution. The Cemeteries
Corporation has now fund of sew
eral hundred dollars, the income
from which is to be used for the
upkeep of the old lots in both ceme-
teries. The descendants of John
Peters in Maine, Massachusetts and
New York have generously con-
tributed for the improvement of his
lot in the old cemetery A liberal
sum for the fund has also been re-
ceived from o. Ward Hinckley of
Chicago, with additional means to
be used in re-lettering and cleaning
the monument erected to the men,
DRY of Rev. Jonathan Fisher, his
great grandfather, who was pastor
Of the Congregational church here
| for forty-one years. 1t is hoped
| that the descendants Of other fam
| lilies may contribute to the fund,
and thus insure future care for
the graves where the forefathers
