In the John Shepardson Cemetery, in a corner of the so-called Taylor pasture now owned by A. C. Benedict, and south of the Car- penter Hill Cemetery, are some 17 graves, marked only with field stones. Seven bodies were removed from this spot soon after the ceme- tery was established on the hill east of Guilford Center, but an unto- ward accident occurred in going up the steep hill, when a box slid back, the end gave way, and a skull rolled out between the feet of one of the attendant escort, which surprising incident appears to have discouraged the further removal of remains from the Shepardson hill.
At the south part of the old Fairbank Farm, a part which is now owned by Malmgrens, there was a small cemetery, probably a family lot.
Another cemetery is in the district, between Green River and Packer Corners on the south side of the old road, called "Burrows Plains". The stones are rough field stones with no inscriptions.

It is related by descendants of Solomon that when he and Betsey were mar- ried both were young and Sol had not yet had an opportunity to ac- cumulate any considerable hoard of this world's goods, and that the parents of Betsey were somewhat opposed to the marriage. However, they reluctantly consented and the young couple went up on to the hill, to live upon a part of the farm of Sol's father. A short time after the wedding Betsey's parents went up and took with them a bureau, which they delivered to Betsey, Sol being away at the time, and told her, "Now, Betsey, we ain't going to give you this bureau,-not now, but we're going to leave it a while and see how Sol gets along." When Sol came home and the conditions were unfolded to him, he took his pair of young steers and a makeshift cart and took the bureau back to the skeptical parents of his bride, dumped the cart and departed, leav-
