    1. [ILHANCOC] Thompson Cemetery - Littleton
    2. Hi there~ Just curious if anyone on this list has ancestors buried in the Thompson cemetery a few miles west of Littleton? (Or in the Neidy Cemetery not far from it) My gggrandparents are there (John and Eliz BOX) as well as some distant relatives. Some names I recall off the top of my head are: WEAVER, WILLIAMS, WYCOFF, BOX. My ancestors died in 1901 and 1902, but I did notice some graves as recent as 1922. One item I recall vividly was one marble stone that must have had two saplings planted on each side of it. Over the years, these saplings grew into gigantic trees...squishing and embedding part of the stone between the two large trunks. I was unable to get around those trees to see who's name was on the stone, because the brush in front of the stone had grown too thick, and I was weary of snakes. (I was alone out there and was 1/4 mile from any dirt road. Someday I'll go back and see.... Valerie
