In looking over the foot-stones piled up and laying side of the stone wall in the old yard in West Bridgd water, we found, lying upon the ground near the grave of Joseph Keith, close under the wall, a natural, flat stone of small size, with the following inscription thereon, to wit :
"Sept ye 5, 17 18, Susanna Cary."
She was daughter of Joseph Keith, son of Rev. James Keith, born March 8, 1697 ; married Capt. Jonathan Cary, Dec. 11, 1717 ; and died as above, Sept. 5, 1718. Her father lived in a house. in the open field west of the house of Horatio Howard, and on land now owned by said Horatio, and between his house and the road to Bull's Hole, house long since taken down. Her husband, in early life, lived in Beaver, where his father, Jonathan Cary, lived, west of Maj. Barrell, and afterwards, in 1736, he bought'of Ephraim Leonard, the Samuel Washburn farm of sizty-nine acres, including all land on the northeast side of Summer street, from the Thomas Lawrence (late Carver Wash- burn) house to South brook, and lived in a small house which stood where the late Samuel F. Sanger lived and died. His son, Eliphalet Cary, built the present Sanger house in 1767. At the time of the death of said Susanna Cary, her and his families were living in the North Precinct, which then included West, East and North Bridge. water ; and we have set that stone into the ground between the graves of her father and brother Ichabod, and where she was probably buried.
In addition to what is said on pages 4 and 5, in relation to the second grave-yard in West Bridgewater, where the houses of Mr. Ed- ward Capin and Rev. Mr. Stone stand, it should be stated that, on or about June 12, 1882, since said pages were printed, Edward Capin, while grading his door-yard, south of his house and front of his stable, found two graves about ten feet apart, not so far back from the road as the front end of his house ; and in these graves he found the re- mains of a coffin and human bones. One grave was that of a full- grown person, and the other of a young person.

APPENDIX.
In reference to the tomb of Rev. James Keith, page 18, No. 139, the original foundation was broken stone, like the Edson tomb, with the present slab thereon. William Hudson, who built this tomb, lived at Simeon Taylor's, and died about 1728. Simeon Keith and his son, Austin Keith, descendants of the Rev. James Keith, through Timothy, one of his six sons, in 1827, rebuilt this foundation by setting up three slabs of granite on three sides, edgewise, which they bought in Quin cy, and by placing two pieces of slate in the front end, edgewise, with an inscription thereon ; which horizontal slab of granite and two pieces of slate with inscription thereon, formed a part of the original monu- ment, as built by said Hudson. Some twenty five or thirty years ago. the upper slate stone at the head of this tomb got broken, and a piece of new slate with the present inscription thereon, has been put in its place. The present inscription not differing materially from the old inscription.
The Rev. James Keith lived and died (July 23, 1719,) in a house in West Bridgewater, now owned and occupied by George M. Pratt. It stood upon the north side of the road to the Great Meadows, near Snow's bridge, within about six rods of the Town river in front of it. about half-way between the house of Nathaniel Willis, west,-now Am- asa Howard's-and the house of George Turner, east, now gone, which stood in the corner of the two roads, where the office of the late Hon. William Baylies stood when burned in 1843.
