I have
a great grandfather buried in a cemetery in Norton Mills. I
don't
know his first name, but his last name is Fortier. Is that
cemetery
still in existence?

Hello.
I take care of a very old town owned cemetery in grand Isle
countywhich has some headstones
that need repair. I was looking to
find someone who could help mewith
the repairs. I would be willing
to do all the work if there is
anyone who has the knowledge andtime
to teach me. It is a shame to see
these headstones lying on the
ground.
thank you very much

Occasionally I see a gravesite
located outside the fenced perimeter in a cemetery. What are some reasons for this 'exclusion'?
Sincerely,
Lucinda Yoon

In the Hartford, VT cemetery there
is a Bond family plot. Oramel and
Hannah Bond-parents. Elmer E.
Bond-son. Then there are two gravestone
bases without headstones. A
daughter-Josie died in 1822 and a grand-
daughter Mary also in 1822. Would
there be anyone out there who might know
what became of the headstones.

Subject: CEMETARY FEATURED ON VERMONT
PUBLIC TELEVISION
To: Web

Hi,
My husband and I live outside
Montreal and very much enjoy watching
Vermont Public Television. A month or so ago, there was a travel
show on VPT that featured a
cemetary in Vermont and told the story of
how William Butler Yeats was buried
in this cemetary in the family
plot of a close friend he had while
he lived in the states. They
gave the name of the cemetary, the
name of the family and even showed
his rather elaborate
gravestone. I did not bother to
take down the
information because I thought it
would be easy to find on the
internet. But after researching this, I discover that not only is
there no mention of Yeats being
buried in Vermont, but all records
clearly indicate his gravesite is
in Sligo, Ireland (which,
ironically, I have visited!!!)
Can you help clear up this
confusing story?
My father is coming to visit me
from Chicago this month and asked if
we could visit Vermont, a place he
has never seen. His parents
immigrated to the states from
Ireland in the 1920's and I thought he
would be overjoyed to see the
gravesite of one of his literary
heroes!
Thank you in advance for any help
you can provide.
Sincerely,
Jeannette Folan

Do you have a search data base
on-line for the Vermont cemeteries?
Would I have access to it if I join
VOCA? Thanks

I tried unsuccessfully to find
Waterman Cemetery in Norwich. My great-great-great-great grandfather Jeremiah
Hedges and members of his family are, buried there - I have the plot of the
cemetery thanks to the assistant town clerk in Norwich (thanks, Carolyn!) and
got what I
Thought were excellent directions,
but I couldn't find any trace of it. The woman who lived at the end of the road
I was sent to said there weren't any cemeteries around. Please, latitude and
longitude, like tour website, would be great.
Incidentally, I DID find Ely
Cemetery (aka South Fairlee), and located the graves of my great-great-great
grandfather and grandmother, and one of their daughters and her husband. Thanks
to Georgette, the Fairlee town clerk.
