Sue and I left the Motel at 9:05AM heading for Webster, Mass. I was really looking forward to this as I was in hopes of finding my great great grandfather, who is verified buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery. Also I was to be interviewed live by______________ for a______________ Genealogical Society, mainly concerning cemeteries. About 10:30AM @ 68F, we pulled into the small cemetery I had been told about many years ago. Well, let me tell you ,this is no small country cemetery. I estimated it to be 1 to 1 1/2 days cemetery walk for me to get through it all. And I never did go and look at the other cemeteries there as I expected the same size for them also. I was told many years ago it was a rather small cemetery of maybe 150-200 burials........wrong.................... Also that this was the first visit by a family member to this cemetery. I've tried to get here for years. My great great grandfather was Alexander Munson of Chazy, N.Y. Clinton County. He apparently came down here to work in a grist mill and died while here. The family story was that no one back in Clinton County could afford to bring his body back home. Now for the second reason to being here. We were only minutes apart from arriving at the cemetery till the interviewer got there. But, it gave me about 5 minutes to look around at the headstones close to the car, as did my wife but in a different direction. I wanted to get a sampling of what was there. " Nice of you to drop in"...........did I really hear that???????? Well, maybe not but I certainly fell in. "Sue, I fell in" For the first time she got to witness what she has only read about, I dropped in a grave. Other then getting dirty, I was fine and Sue and I had a good laugh. .....Now who pulls in, the interviewer....................well, she got a couple photos of me in the hole. They should be available in the near future. What timing eh ! After this exciting meeting we moved farther into the cemetery for the interview. What a great setting to do this........... :) Now I had guessed this to be about a half hour interview, but this nice lady made me talk for about 2 hours. (No comments please). Sue was exhausted.................LOL But now that, that was over, where is my Great Great Grandfather? So the interviewer was kind enough to take me to the town offices to check the records. Now I got disappointed. Alexander was listed as a pauper. That means very poor and no headstone or record of exactly where he was buried. Other than, the lady gave me a cemetery map and showed me the woods on the edge of the cemetery where in that time period they buried the poor. Basically all in an area with no headstones. So, he was in a clump in the woods. I guess it was early afternoon and the interviewer took us for coffee and we talked more. Finally after taking photos of the wooded area, it was decided not to even start walking the cemetery as it was to large at that time of day. But I have decided to return to Webster next year (May) and stay long enough to do all the cemeteries, so for those of you who had requests, you have to wait one more year. I am now planning on mid May to return to Webster and stay there a few days at least and then head back to Northampton, Mass. and finish that area. Oh, before I fell in, I did get a sampling of names and there were many French names. The mystery interviewer, sometime in October will put on the list, how to go about hearing the interview. So you can watch for that in a few weeks. So as for today that was the highlight. Another great day with the dead. Best Bill Help keep our dead alive.
