Margie, YIKES! I am hoping the scene you witnessed does not mean what it seems to mean. I am thinking that the Darling Repose Cemetery should be on the opposite side of the road from the Cocke 'N Kettle - at least that is what the map I received from the Town Hall seems to indicate. The restaurant is on the eastern side of the Rt 122 (Millville Rd) and the cemetery on the western side of the road. It looks like it should be pretty close to where Old Millville Road joins back into Millville Road. On the east side of Rt 122 in the same general area, should be two other cemeteries. One is noted as the Norden-Swedish Cemetery (#6) and the other - for which I have not yet found a reference name - is noted as (#28). I am still hopeful that I will be able to find the Darling Cemetery. I believe that both "Pickles" Darling and his daughter, my ggg grandmother Katherine Darling Brown, are buried there. Debi C.

I'm not sure what cemetery I saw. I do know it was on the same side of the road as the restaurant, and that it caught my eye that the stones were being removed. It looked very unusual to me. I wondered if they were moving the cemetery, or what! I didn't stop and look closely, though. At the time, I didn't see a reason to look into it further. I'm not sure what cemetery it was. I just know I've driven by it many times on my way to Blackstone from Northbridge. If I didn't have such a busy day tomorrow, I'd take a quick ride over there to check it out. I might do that on Sunday. I'll let you know what I find out.
