Below are inscriptions from monuments in Mount Hope Cemetery, located on Mt. Hope St., N. Attleborough, near the corner of Spring St., which I viewed in May and June, 2001, and some of the corresponding records.
On this page are:
BLANCHARD, CARPENTER, MANCHESTER, MARLOW, MATTESON, MENARD, PECKHAM, SCANLON, WILMARTH
These inscriptions cover all of the family of Walter Batchelor CARPENTER and Jennie Ellis BROWN, except for daughter Doris, who I believe is not buried here. Also included are inscriptions for CARPENTER in-laws, namely, SCANLON and PECKHAM families.
Although not to scale, I have preserved in rudimentary fashion the geometry of the plots.
