Unmarked Graves

Information about Medfield deaths from 1652 to 1875 comes from a bound ledger in the office of Medfield’s Town Clerk.  This 133-page list was hand-copied by Jeremiah Ballou Hale in 1878 after the Town Hall burned in 1874.

This treasure-trove of records completes what has been missing for years: who is buried in UNMARKED GRAVES in Vine Lake Cemetery’s Old Section, especially in the earliest years of the Town’s history.
