MT.PROSPECT CEMETERY, BRIDGEWATER, MA., 13APR 2012

Mt. Prospect Cemetery in Bridgewater, Ma. is, appropriately enough, on
Mt. Prospect Street opposite the Bridgewater Middle School. The
cemetery is situated on a large hill and I visited it on a windy cool day.
Walking up and down a few steep inclines wore me out quickly so
I didn't spend as much time there as I have at some other locations.
I did however notice a large number of gravestones belonging to the
 Keith and Fobes families who are my cousins


This gives an idea of how steep a hill the cemetery is on.

I wish I had remembered to see whose monument this was.






Some of my Keith cousins.

PRATT TOWN CEMETERY BRIDGEWATER MA

 Bridgewater is big enough to have several neighborhoods, one of which is
Pratt Town. Judging by the number of graves here for Pratt family members,
I'm guessing it was named for them, although at one time it was instead known
as Paper Mill Village. There are Hayward, Benson and Keith cousins of mine
buried here






HILLSIDE CEMETERY BRIDGEWATER MA

 I was at my grandnephew' s birthday party Sunday and passed two old
cemeteries on the way home. My Keith, Packard and Edson ancestors as well as
others came from the area so I stopped to see if any cousins were buried here.
 This stone is six feet tall by 4 ft wide. Compared to the others here it's
a monolith.
