Rehoboth
Historical Cemetery Number 33
|
Burial
Place Hill is located on Peckham Street near its
intersection with Providence and Mason
Streets.
Simeon
Martin's table stone, shown at the right was seriously
damaged when suspected vandals tried to find his
remains below it.
The Annawan Historical
Society took it upon themselves to raise the funds
to make the needed repairs. The process is not
only painstaking and very expensive, there are
fewer than 5 people skilled enough and legally
authorized to make repairs to the markers in
Massachusetts Historical Cemeteries.
The
group ran fundraisers until they could afford to
make the repairs. The society ceased to exist in 2005.
Most members then joined the Rehoboth Antiquarian
Society |
Simeon
Martin's Grave Marker, shown above, is
inscribed with the longest epitaph in the
Country. The
photograph was taken on January 25, 2008 |

Except
for its name, anyone approaching the cemetery from
Providence Street would probably not realize that
the site was atop a hill. However there is a sharp
drop to the ravine on its North West side (see
image to the left). This high point played a major
role in the Revolutionary War. The land was barren
at the time and Rehoboth Minutemen stationed
themselves nearby at the "Liberty Tree"
where they could send and receive signals from
their counterparts in Rhode Island. All images on
this page were taken in January of 2008
