DUTCHER'S BRIDGE CEMETERY
This cemetery is situated in Weatogue about a third of a mile northwest of Dutcher's Bridge. It was purchased by the town on Nov. 8, 1802, for a consideration of one dollar paid to Capt. Ruluff Dutcher of Canaan (see Land Records, Book II, p. 93) and it is stated in the deed "that an ancient burying ground" was included in the purchase. The grantor stipulated that the plot should be fenced by the town and he reserved for himself and his heirs the right to pasture sheep and calves within it.
This cemetery is in a sadly neglected condition most of the time. A small amount of money expended upon grading and more frequent mowings would improve it greatly. Nearly all of the stones are clean and well preserved.

MT. RIGA CEMETERY
This cemetery, consisting of a plot of one-quarter of an acre in extent, was purchased by the town April 26, 1817 (see Land Records, Vol. 14, p. 281) from Holley, Coffing & Pettee, for the sum of two dollars. The purchase was made pursuant to town vote of April 8, 1816, authorizing the selectmen to take conveyance of land for a burying place "near the Mt. Furnace." In the deed it is spoken of as being on Tocannick Mt. It is situated near the north end of the middle road, about one-eighth of a mile from its juncture with the west road, in what was formerly the hamlet of Mt. Riga.
This little plot is seldom visited and shows signs of neglect, except in that part of it which is occasionally used for interments.

TOWN HILL CEMETERY
This Cemetery is nearly as old as the one at the Center. A tradition existing in the Bissell family was recently repeated by Mr. Charles H. Bissell. It is to the effect that one Seth Cary, a carpenter, was killed by falling from a house which he was helping to erect for one of the early settlers of the Bissell name, and that he was buried on Town Hill in a place which, on the very day of his burial, became by town vote a public cemetery. This tradition is verified by Seth Cary's gravestone bearing the date of his death as April II, 1757, and by the entry in Salisbury Town Meeting Records, under the same date, April II, 1757, authorizing the setting off of "a part of the Market Place or Green on the Town Hill so called, for a burying Place, in the most convenient part of said Green."
