CEMETERIES as a SOURCE

One great outdoor source of family history is the cemetery. "Massachusetts Cemeteries" by David Allen Lambert (2nd ed, 2008) provides information about all known cemeteries of Massachusetts, including reference sources and contact information.
The old cemeteries on Dudley Hill have been documented by Marilyn Labbe (and other citizens of Dudley) in a publication by the Killingly, CT Historical Society. Many Dudley residents, however, are buried in Webster. For example, in MT ZION CEMETERY in Webster the following 8 plots were the key to learning there were four Caldwell sisters (and families) who came to America to work at Stevens mill.
