V. Dudley's office last week for the plot of ground known as the old cemetery in this city, which they purchased of the heirs of Alvin Montjoy. The price stated in the deed is $1.00 and other considerations. The property fronts on Montjoy street 225 feet and runs through to Park street 250 feet. This plot of ground was the original cemetery when Falmouth was first settled about 150 years ago. There are several hundred graves in this cemetery, but it has not been taken care of and very few of the graves are now marked, as most of the markers were only native stones, and they have been removed. There were a few marble slabs in the old cemetery at one time, but these have fallen down and disappeared. There has not been a body buried in this cemetery for more than fifty years. Many of our citizens have relatives buried there and they would have them removed, but it would be useless to try to locate their graves. This cemetery contains the remains of many of the pioneers who defended this settlement from the many Indian raids. Many Revolutionary soldiers and veterans of the War of 1812 also sleep there. It was used as a general "Burying Ground" for all during those early days, and slaves and Indians who fell in battle were laid to rest there. We can not imagine what the city has purchased this plot of ground for, unless to fence and perpetuate the old sacred spot. To use or desecrate it for any commercial purpose would bring a storm of protest. It is true that the cemetery has grown up in weeds and is an eye-sore, but at the same time it is a sacred spot, and it is somebody's duty to preserve it. The Montjoy family was one of the early settlers here, and Alvin Montjoy was the owner of this land. Among his nearest relatives now living are Mrs. A. Waggahan, of this city, John Hitch, Mrs. Sarah A. Cropper and Fannie Rouse. These are the parties that conveyed this plot of land to the city.
