Is there anyone on this list that could tell me about cemeteries in Douglas/East Douglas and how to contact them? Searching for the burial of Theodore DUMAS, prob. In the 1930-40's. Thanks Jackie

Hello Jackie: Douglas has a Cemetery Commissioner, and he would be the best person to ask. You can write to him at the Town Hall, East Douglas, MA. There is St. Denis Cemetery which is kept by St. Denis Catholic Church. There is another cemetery in East Douglas on Cemetery Street that does not have a name. There are French buried there, but not many stones sorry to say. Many of thoe stones left that would be for the French are in the front of the cemetery along what was a fence, and not over run with poison ivy. The stones that are standing are up on the hill. I did not see anything with the name Dumas. If he was living later than say 1930, then he is probably in St. Denis. Then again, there may not be any stone. Another thing you might check is the Town Clerk's office to see if there might be a record of death. I did a book up for the town clerk on burial and transit permits and another lady did an index. The Town Clerk has the book. I don't remember how far back the permits went. Sorry. Regards, Alison Franks Archivist, Rawson Family Association
