    1. Re: [GENMASSACHUSETTS] Death info
    2. You might want to probe some more as it was common to use a 'vault' in mid-winter for a temporary interment, pending mild weather and the ability to dig a grave. And not all cemeteries have vaults, so a vault at a different cemetery might have been used until Spring. In a message dated 6/6/2009 11:32:58 A.M.

I did a Google search on it. There is a map of the towns on the USGenweb Berkshire Co MA site. Clarksburg is the most northern village of the county and abuts onto North Adams. We have a supposed death year for James Priest as 1928. On Elizabeth Priest's death cert it states she was a widow. She died 5 Feb 1941 at 767 S. Church St, North Adams, Berkshire Co MA. She resided at Red Mills, Clarksburg, Berkshire Co MA. It states she was buried in a Vault but no cemetery name.
