URIAL NOTE: Peter Slater and his wife Zilpath were first buried at the Pine Street Burial Ground on the eastern side of Worcester, Mass. When this burial ground was closed due to urban expansion both were moved to Hope Cemetery in Worcester. Hope Cemetery opened in 1854 so this would have occurred shortly after the opening of the cemetery.
