MT. ZION CEMETERY, WHITMAN MA., 11JULY 2011

The first time I visited Mt.Zion Cemetery in Whitman was in winter. This time I
returned in summer when I had more time to look at the headstones. Whitman
used to be part of Abington, Ma. where I live and up until it split away it was
known as South Abington. There are many headstones of older Abington families
there dating from the late 1700's:

Gideon Ramsdell died 28Feb 1795 "Life how short, Eternity how long.




Lydia Brown's headstone has sunken in so far her death date is hidden: 



Mrs. Silence Reed, relict of Adam Reed 29July 1810














John Brown 5 September 1816
