His farm was located on the easterly side of Main Street at the junction of Day Street near number 3 school house in North Leominster.
"Among the families using that burial ground were the Wilsons, Joslins, and Wilders. A native of the neighborhood remembered that in the early 1860s there were more than twenty five headstones in various condition; the broken ones were taken up when the hay was cut, some were thrown in a swamp hole, others were removed a few at a time before the land was plowed in 1868."
