True to her husband, free from noise & strife She calmly sailed along the stream of life. Kind to the poor, no friend to gaudy dress
Industry's friend ; but foe to idle- ness. Such was this woman, now from earth remov'd, We trust enjoys that peace which here she loved.

Pine Hill Cemetery (PRESENT NAUGATUCK)
"It was during these days of fear that the second place of burial within the township was established. It is the southern portion of that now known as Pine Hill cemetery ; the same ground so valiantly and reverently saved from encroachment and destruction by the efforts of Mr. William Ward. In the home of Daniel Warner in present Naugatuck, died on April 10th, 1709, his wife Mary, the daughter of Abra- ham Andrews, Senior. We do not know that she was the first English person to die at Judd's Meadows, but her death evi- dently made the need apparent of a place of burial nearer than that of our late cemetery on Grand street. The record tells us that the selectmen of Waterbury on the next day, April IIth, with the presence and consent of Samuel Hikcox, laid out and sequestered half an acre of land of said Hikcox on the southward end of a hill at Judd's Meadow called the 'pin [e]' hill for a burying place for that part of said town or any other who should see cause to make use of it for said use : The record adds, that the land was laid out with the con- sent of the neighborhood, and that on the same day the wife of Daniel Warner was buried there. It is difficult to resist the impulse to picture in words that first burial in Naugatuck, to gather by name the funeral band that went out of the house on Fulling Mill brook bearing its silent burden over the rough highway down to the lonely height that overlooked the river valley, there to lay it down for its long rest, while three mother- less children look down into that grave [with] the unutterable thoughts that children think, but never speak, in the presence of death."-(S. J. Prichard in Town and City of Waterbury.)
The oldest legible inscription to be seen to-day is "A. Lewis, 1740," which marks the grave of Abram, son of Deacon Joseph Lewis, who died in December, 1740, aged twenty years.
In a chart of this plot of land made by Mr. Ward there are forty-four recognizable graves, thirty-three of which are

marked with legible inscriptions. Of the others it is believed that four, bearing initials, one of which in each case is "B." mark the graves of the four children of John Barnes, who died in the great sickness of 1749. This cemetery, laid out in 1709, reclaimed and improved through the efforts of the late J. H. Whittemore in 1886, is now in the care of The Grove Cemetery Association.
