Last time I offered up the first half of these, and sent by attachment to anyone interested, Sue said I could copy and paste to put on whole list as it is relevant to all (in theory, or with hopes). These are the second half of the cemeteries done by mother and I, it is not all inclusive, we focused mainly on those that were on our tree, or at least sounded familiar. I will be sending this in several parts so as not to overwhelm. If there is a star before the item that means it is on my tree, and I can probably provide more info on the line. The notes made after are for my mother to identify to tree, but may help others, or just ignore if it confuses you. Again, I remind everyone these graves can be very hard to read, so corrections are always welcome. Please send corrections/questions directly to me, not list, so we don't have several people correcting the same thing on the list, and I'll give an update on corrections to the list.

Some misc. records,. This actually from July 3rd, 2004 trip: CARPENTER (Leaving Centre/Cemetery Bernardston out to main road, diagonally across from Streeter's store) "1829 Carpenter Homestead", Hartwell St.? The home is not open to the public, but through very good luck and connections my mom and I were given a tour, it is very much the way it was when they lived there. It was originally owned by Elijah and Felonia Carpenter. scribbling madly, we learned; The bench in the hall along with 2 others in the house was made by Richard PHELPS constructed from hewn logs taken from Deacon Ebenezer SHELDON Fort, one of four forts built in the area in 1740 for protection from Indians. A small book (shown us by homeowner) was left in house with note about it: "In one of the drawers in the "Carpenter Cupboard" are found the following notes written by Cyrus W. Carpenter and Rev. C.C. Carpenter (sons of Elijah) on their visits to the old home." Book is entitled "Hiram Golf's Religion"/"The Shoemaker by the Grace of God", George H. Hepworth, 1907, E. P. Dutton Co., NY "Charles C. Carpenter born here in this room" 7/9/1836 "written" 11/1/1909 "died 1918. Here once more" 11/5/1910 "There is also a book which Rev. C.C. Carpenter gave to the house bearing this inscription" "I wish this book (by) Hiram Golf (remain) in the "Doctor Carpenter Home" in Bernardston permanently as a little memorial of Cyrus W. Carpenter who was born there and who died in NJ 1902. He was helped by this book as seen on the opposite page (an inscription) and I am sure it will be interesting and helpful to successive tenants in the dear old home of our boyhood." "Charles C. Carpenter, Andover, Christmas, 1909" The NELSON'S owned the very old house next door (across the side street as the home is on a corner), next to that is home of STREETER'S who owned the store across from it, still called STREETER'S and still run by them, although the family patriarch had recently passed away. Charles was a doctor and a surgeon, an apothecary unit with small drawers and shelves is in a corner closet, in what used to be the office. A sink used to be in this room, but a window in the wall of the closet, behind the drawers allowed things to be passed from the other room, believed used to pass things for surgery, maybe because the cooking hearth was in there and sterilized items could be sent in from there, or that room was the waiting room, and the doctor could look out to see who was in there, maybe both. An article on the house written by Charles under the name of Mr. Martin, appeared in The Congregationalist, Conversation Corner, Sept. 1896 p. 155. In it he mentions about returning to town and visiting the now empty home, getting the key to go in, looking in the licorice drawer in his father's office, and these memories: Mother's mince pies stored in cellar; book read as child "The Boy Who Stole Apples", took pages out of it and put them on the wall, there were some remnants of these then; sweet well water from the oaken bucket; digging under a rock and expecting to find a "Chinaman" they dug so far; "Make the most of these childhood days, be happy yourself and make others happy around you." ............................................................................ ......
