About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Two graves – those of Lucy (Rust) Andrews and her daughter Elizabeth Andrews – are side-by-side and date to 1761. Both were buried on the farm that was owned by Lucy's husband, Jeremiah, at that time. The land on which the graves are located is now part of a subdivision lot near the rear of the hoop shop lot. The grave markers have been damaged and the gravesite is now marked only by one broken stone under a tree that has grown up long after the 1761 burials.

The graves were marked until the early 1900s when Hans Peter Christianson (who owned some of the land of the old farm) removed the gravestones so that his cows would not damage them. The stones were retrieved and reset in the 1950s by Mr. Christianson with the help of Donald Lapham and his father, Arthur T. Lapham. Oral tradition stated that Lucy Andrews was buried in the gold beads that she wore because no one wanted to touch them for fear of contracting the smallpox disease.

The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as CAR.802 Andrews, Lucy - Andrews, Elizabeth Grave Sites.
