    3. >From my daughter, who lives in Massachusetts, an article in the Worcester Sunday Telegram tells about the Farber Gravestone Collection. It can be found at http://www.davidrumsey.com/farber/index.html . From the web site introduction: "The Farber Gravestone Collection is an unusual resource containing over 13,500 images documenting the sculpture on more than 9,000 gravestones, most of which were made prior to 1800, in the Northeastern part of the United States. The late Daniel Farber of Worcester, Massachusetts, and his wife, Jessie Lie Farber, were responsible for the largest portion of the collection. This online version of the Farber Gravestone Collection is sponsored by the American Antiquarian Society. The Web site and online image database have been created by David Rumsey and Cartography Associates." This is a fascinating presentation, more so since a few of the Massachusetts Dunsmoors are represented. You'll need to download special software to view, but it's well worth it. This is an amazing collection, and an excellent web presentation. I tried to send a link to the online article from the newspaper, but that requires a subscription. If anyone wants a copy of the article, please email me. Gail
