gravematter > Wadsworth Cemetery Dating from the 17th century, this cemetery formerly the old Putnam Burying Ground, was purchased in 1826 by Dr. Benjamin Wadsworth in the last days of his fifty- three year pastorate "in consideration of the love and affection I bear to the inhabitants of the North Parish." Herein lie the remains of the first four ministers' wives- Bayley, Burroughs, Lawson and Parris, former ministers Joseph Green, Peter Clark, Dr. Benjamin Wadsworth, Dr. Charles Rice, and Hiram Hook are buried here. At least one negro slave, Phebe Lewis, who lived with the Wadsworth family, also lies here. Indians, veterans from wars dating back to the Revolution, and most prominent names in the early church history are also found here. Formerly administered by the first church, it has been operated by the Wadsworth Cemetery Association since 1913. Miss Bertha Cook, long-term dedicated clerk, willed additional land to the association in the 1950's. By vote of the association, gravestone rubbing is prohibited.
