The town's founder, John Cram, gave this land for a burial place “in consideration of one ear of corn.” Nearly 30 Revolutionary War soldiers are buried here, including John Cram, Rev. Benjamin Sargent, Bradbury Green, and “Jockey” Fogg. The cemetery contains the town's earliest dated tombstone, that of eight-year-old John Blake, who died 9-23-1792, and those of over a dozen children who died in the Spotted Fever Epidemic of 1813.
