"The 'Sharon Burying Ground,' as originally laid out is only a small part of what has since been called 'Hillside Cemetery.' Just when it was first used for a burying ground, or from whom the land was purchased does not now appear."
It goes on to indicate that the First Town Meeting in 1739 makes reference to the old part, which was probably laid out shortly after that meeting.

It is also known as Green Cemetery on 1996 Susquehanna County Plat Book, page 54
This cemetery is known as the "Old Graveyard" according to the Susquehanna Co. H.S. as of years ago. It is at the forks in S. Auburn going north from Rattlesnake Hill in Meshoppen. When you come to S. Auburn and you can make a fork to the left , as you turn, there would be a cow pasture that is on a hill on your right. There is a patch of trees halfway up the hill and the cemetery is in those trees.
Please ask permission from the owner to enter his pasture.

375 [COLOR:1,1,1,255,255,255]FLORA REMINISCES with Ron Collins

On a rainy afternoon this past August, I had the opportunity to sit with Flora Braley and listen to her talk about her long and interesting life. Flora Ursula Remick was born on Sculptured Rocks Road in Groton on January 27, 1918 the youngest of the seven children of Alfred A. Remick and Flora B. Gurney. The house where Flora was born is still there but is now only used for storage. She was born in the left most room on the second floor with windows facing the road.

When she was three years old her parents bought and moved to the Groton Village Store which still stands as a private home. Her family ran the store for many years. The Remicks sold everything from hardware, to grain and all the everyday necessities. Flora said with a glint in her eye, “we sold ice cream”. The family had a barn beside the store where the ice was stored. The ice was cut on Spectacle Pond each winter and stored in the barn. The ice was used to keep the ice cream cold throughout the summer months. That was more than seventy years ago and Flora still remembers that ice cream fondly.

Her father, Alfred, died on Flora’s birthday in 1929 when Flora was eleven years old. Her mother and brother carried on running the store until 1941. The growing use of automobiles allowed people to drive to Plymouth to shop and that forced the store to close. Her mother sold the store in the 1940’s and the new owners tried to continue running the store but it eventually closed for good.

When she was little and living at the store she remembers that in the evening around sunset the local men would come to the store and she was told to leave because of the bad language they used. The store had wooden bins for hardware, and the bins had wooden covers upon which the men would sit as they solved the world’s problems. During the hurricane of 1938 the canopy that was over the store gas pumps was ripped off and tossed completely over the house into the back yard.

She didn’t start school until she was seven years old. The one-room school house on Sculptured Rocks Road (still there just past the baseball field on the opposite side of the road) was about a half a mile away from the store and her parents didn’t think it was safe for her to walk there. But at seven she started. She was so good at learning that she was only in first grade for a short time and was then moved to the second grade. When she finished fourth grade she was moved into sixth grade and graduated from eighth grade at age thirteen.

Next door to her school lived her grandfather. He was a house painter who was also an artist. When he painted the inside of a house he would find an appropriate spot and paint something artistic. One home he painted was the home of Richard Braley’s family, and next to the pantry door he painted a bunch of flowers. She doesn’t know if the flower painting is still there or not. Her grandfather’s house stands on Sculptured Rocks Road. Across from it he had a barn and paint shop. Only the chimney of the paint shop is standing. We took a ride to Sculptured Rocks Road so Flora could point out the houses, store, school and area of her youth. “All this was open and not over- grown like it is today,” she says.

Flora and her future husband Richard Braley knew each other from an early age. Richard was five years older than Flora. They practically lived around the corner from each other. She was in the Groton store and Richard’s family lived in the house on Groton Road just west of the Pratt Cemetery and on the same side of the road. At the time the Braley home was the first house west of the cemetery but today it is the second house as another house was built in between. Flora’s husband, Richard Nelson Braley, was born on October 25, 1913 on Hobart Hill Road in Hebron. Richard was the son of Ned Henry Braley and Bertha Melina Waite. He died at age ninety five on November 30, 2008. Flora and Richard were married on April 11, 1936, when Flora was eighteen years old.

When Flora was fifteen she took a job as housekeeper and cook for a Mrs. Smith, a retired opera singer, who had rented the house next to the Church (currently owned by the Sycamores). “I was chief cook and bottle washer,” she says. But when Mrs. Smith had guests Flora was not allowed into the living room and had to stay in the back out of sight. She slept upstairs in the attic. Her room had a small window that looked out onto the church. She says she could clearly hear the Saturday night dances at the church, and once, because she knew her brother Warren and his wife Rachel were there, she snuck over to the dance and had one dance with Richard.

In the last Hebron Historical Society Gazette there was a letter written about the Saturday night dance at the church in the 1930’s. Flora’s recollection of those dances was a little different from what was in that letter. For example, she doesn’t think Syd Huckins was ever a policeman in Hebron, and she thinks that Frank Hobart was the fiddle player.

Well, back to her experience working for Mrs. Smith. She said that you entered the house from the rear by this long walk way that led into the kitchen. There was no running water. There was a rock walled well. You lowered a bucket down to fill it and then cranked it back up. There was also no refrigeration so anything that needed to stay cool was placed in the bucket and kept down in the well where it was cool. If you continued through the kitchen back into another hallway and turned left you came to the 3-holer that was installed in the house.

In 1936 she and Richard Braley married and moved into the house on Mayhew Turnpike that still sits in front of where the Lucarellis live today. Later that same year their first daughter, Myrna, was born premature and only weighed a little over three pounds. The doctor in Bristol who examined Flora during her pregnancy told her she had to go the hospital even though she was not due for some time. He was so concerned that he drove her to the Franklin Hospital and soon after Myrna was born. Myrna spent her first six weeks in an incubator in the Franklin Hospital.

During World War II, Richard worked as a miner in the Groton mica mines off of North Groton Road. Mica was considered a strategic material needed to build Army radios and so Richard was not drafted.

During the war Flora and Richard had bought some property on Hobart Hill Road just up the hill and across the street from where Richard was born. The property was two parcels and one parcel had a cellar left from when an earlier house burnt, the other parcel had a small workshop building on it. They planned on using the cellar and building a home on it. But at war’s end the Concord family who owned the house they were renting wanted to be able to use it for summer vacations, and so Flora and Richard had to move. Given how fast they had to move they decided to quickly convert the workshop into a house. Today the old workshop is all but the eastern eight feet of the front rooms of Flora’s home. Richard’s father was a mason and built the fireplace for Flora and Richard, but Richard did the inside fireplace front himself.

Flora’s second and last child, a daughter Carol, was born in 1947.

In 1946 she took a job that was to last her for thirty six years. She became the secretary for the Superintendent of the Newfound Area Schools. Originally the school system was called Supervisory Union #4. In the 1970’s the Newfound schools were merged with the Sandwich Interlake schools and the Superintendent’s office was moved to Meredith. Flora had to drive twenty six miles one way to work every day for six years until the Newfound schools and Superintendent’s office was moved back to Bristol. She says she enjoyed all but the few years in Meredith under a new and incompetent Superintendent. She retired in 1982.

During those years working in an office Flora did not stop doing other things. She was a seamstress and baker as well. Once when she was working in the Meredith office she found some fabric in a store, bought it and took it home. That night she made a dress from the fabric and wore it to work the next day.

In April 1951 Flora is listed as an editor of the Parish Press newspaper that was issued by the Hebron Congregational Church, and in the June 1953 she is listed as a reporter for the same paper.

She also took cake decorating lessons in Laconia with two of her lady friends. She followed that up by taking two Master Cake Decorating classes. Finally, she took a private class from the lady who taught the Master classes. The teacher had a myna bird that said “Hi” every time someone came in the door.

After that Flora made and sold hundreds of cakes and didn’t stop making cakes until she was eighty years old. That wasn’t all she baked.

For years Flora made donuts for sale at the Hebron Fair, and she had a bakery at Manson Smith’s sugar house that sat on top of Hoyt Hill. Everyone I know who has eaten Flora’s donuts says they are the best they ever had. For years I begged Flora for her recipe. To no avail. Then at Howard Oedel’s ninetieth birthday party (she was 93 at the time) I walked Flora to her car and as we walked she said to me that she would teach me how to make donuts. So, the next week I picked her up and in my kitchen we made donuts together. I knew I was watching a Master. Every step was exact. When she cut the donuts after rolling out the dough with less effort than you would believe, there was not one piece of dough left over. The donuts were wonderful. She swore me to never give her recipe to anyone else. So don’t ask for it. [:COLOR]

(THREE YEARS.)
DANIEL ELDREDCE, late First Lieutenant Third Regiment New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry and Historian of Regiment.
This regiment was the second to be raised in the State for a three years' term. It was brought together and wholly organized and mustered in during August, 1861, at Concord. Those men whose dates of enlistment were earlier than the large majority were from Hampton and its vicinity, and were in temporary service at Fort Constitution, Portsmouth, and known as "Winnacunnet Guards." These were later the majority of Company D; Companies A, C, and H were almost wholly from Manchester; Company K was largely from Dover; Company F nearly all from Nashua and its vicinity; Company G largely from Ossipee and neighboring towns; Comapany E from Milford and vicinity; Company B from Exeter and its immediate neighborhood; Company I from Rochester and adjacent towns. One company (C) was almost wholly of Irish birth or parentage. The regiment was encamped upon the "intervale" nearly opposite the southerly part of Concord, and upon the easterly side of the Merrimack river. Enoch Q Fellows, of Centre Sandwich was the person selected to be its Colonel. He was a West Pointer, and had been with the First New Hampshire (three months' men), and was possessed of military skill and a military presence. John H. Jackson, of Portsmouth, was made Lieutenant-Colonel. He had been an officer in the Mexican war, and had been brevetted there for gallantry. John Bedel, of Bath, another Mexican soldier was given the position of Major, while the Adjutancy was bestowed upon another Mexican soldier, Alfred J. Hill, of Portsmouth. The regiment started upon its mission September 3, 1861, proceeding by rail to Allyn's Point, Conn. (via Worcester), where it took steamers to Hunter's Point, L. I., thence a few miles by rail to Mineola, which village was upon the large plain called Hempstead Plain, as that place was designed to be a camp of instruction for the several regiments intended to participate in a coastwise expedition. September 14, 1861, the regiment was ordered post-haste to Washington, and arrived there the 16th, going into camp east of the Capitol near the almshouse and jail. There the regiment stayed and drilled till early in October, when it was ordered to Annapolis, Md., where it and other regiments were to embark on their perilous errand. About the middle of October the embarkation took place, and the fleet concentrated at Fortress Monroe, from which place the final start was made the 29th of October. Gen. Thomas W. Sherman. commanding the expedition, was quartered upon the steamer "Atlantic" with the Third New Hampshire. In sailing, the "Atlantic" was given the post of honor, following the stately "Wabash." After the taking of Port Royal, S. C. (November 7), the regiment landed and remained on the island of Hilton Head till April, 1862.
reconnoissance to Dawfuskee Island by the major part of the regiment occurred in March, 1862, and another reconnoissance was made to Bluffton and to Bull and Savage Islands, also in March, 1862. Early in April, 1862, the regiment was ordered to Edisto Island. The headquarters were established in the west central part of the island at Dr. Mitchell's plantation. Some of the companies were detached for plantations near by. During April, 1862, several reconnoissances were made to Jehossee Island. Early in June the regiment was ordered to James Island. It reached there only to find that the place was very near Charleston and was well guarded. Here the regiment had its first baptism in blood, 16th of June, 1862, Secessionville. Loss 105, killed, wounded, and missing. James Island was evacuated about the 1st of July, 1862, the regiment returning to Hilton Head, encamping in rear of the General Hospital. But a few days elapsed where the regiment was almost wholly ordered to various outposts, and continued in that duty till the capture of Company H, August 21, 1862, when the companies were all ordered to reunite at Hilton Head.
next move of importance was the attempt to burn a bridge at Pocotaligo (C.& S. R.R., October 22, 1862. The regiment participated--wounded 3. Early in January, 1863, a large detachment was sent to Florida to assist in capturing a large lot of lumber; expedition failed; wounded, 3. During February, 1863, the regiment again divided, six companies going to Pinckney Island; two remained in camp; one on provost guard; and the other on Hilton Head, but near the six companies. Early in April, 1863, started again for Charleston, but only to lie at anchor in Stono Inlet, while the naval engagement of April 7, 1863, was enacted. Shortly after, returned to Hilton Head again, but not to stay. Embarked again in April, 1863, and finally landed (eight companies) at Botany Bay Island, S. C. Companies E and I were landed at Bay Point, where they remained till early in June, when all concentrated at St. Helena Island. There the troops were organized and drilled for another onward movement. Left St. Helena, July 4, 1863, and landed on Folly Island. The lower end of Morris Island was taken early July 10,I863, the Third New Hampshire participating. The regiment also was support next morning for an unsuccessful charge on Wagner. The duties on Morris Island were very heavy, and from the day of landing there until the 28th of February, 1864, when the regiment left, there was an almost unceasing demand for the various kinds of duty. In the charge on Fort Wagner, July I8, 1863, the regiment lost heavily. Its duties during the siege of Wagner--ending September 7, 1863-- were extremely severe, but somewhat lighter after that date. It had the post of honor on that memorable 7th of September, 1863. Shortly after the evacuation of Wagner, the regiment was ordered upon provost duty, as a respite from excessive duty in the trenches. Several of the regiment were recipients of the Gillmore medals, bestowed by General Gillmore for good conduct during the siege. These medals were of bronze and bore upon one side a representation of Sumter in ruins, while the other bore a facsimile of the General's official signature. The medal proper was attached to a bar, upon the face of which was engraver the name, rank, company, and regiment of the recipient. February 29, 1864, the regiment was ordered to Hilton Head to be mounted, and received its horses within a few days thereafter.
large numbers of the men had re-enlisted, and those went on their furloughs in a body, early in March, 1864 accompanied by eight officers.
regiment was then mounted, and was designated "Third New Hampshire Mounted Infantry." They were ordered to Florida early in April' 1864. Encamped near Jacksonville. Soon after, four companies were sent up to Palatka, and returned therefrom in about a week. In the latter part of April' 1864, orders were received to dismount the regiment and prepare to go to Virginia. The regiment reached Virginia prior to the first of May, 1864, and were there joined by the re-enlisted men, who had been detained by the War Department until the arrival of the regiment. Then began the Virginia campaign, and the regiment had its full share in nearly every engagement of that period. At Drewry's Bluff; May 13, 14,15, and 16,1864, the regiment suffered heavy losses in both officers and men. May 18 and June 2 and 16 were all memorable days, and resulted in a further decimation of the regiment. The 16th of August, 1864, seemed the culmination, for on that day the regiment was well-nigh annihilated. Soon after (the 23d), the original men who had not re-enlisted, were mustered out. These away, and the regiment was small indeed--but a mere handful. In the latter part of August, 1864, the regiment was ordered to the line in front of Petersburg, and did duty there until the latter part of September, 1864, when it was ordered to the other side of the James river. There it was engaged September 29, and October 1, 7, 13, 27. In November, 1864, the regiment was sent to New York city, to defend the ballot box against a possible enemy, returning to its camp at Laurel Hill, Va., before the close of the month. There the regiment was apparently laid by for the winter; but in January, 1865, following the failure of the first expedition to Fort Fisher, the regiment was called upon to form part of the infantry force for a second attempt to capture that stronghold. The regiment went, and it is history that it was a part of the brigade finally called on to put an end to the struggle that had been waging for hours. It next distinguished itself at Sugar Loaf Battery, February 11, 1865, and next at Wilmington, February 22, 1865, entering that city with the other troops, having fought their way to it, only to find it abandoned at the last moment. The regiment did all sorts of duty at Wilmington, and at Goldsboro, N. C., to which latter place they went early in June, 1865, and there were finally mustered out July 20, 1865. At the two latter places the officers and men were placed on duty in many places of great honor, trust and responsibility.
regiment returned to Concord the latter part of July, 1865, were temporarily furloughed, and were finally paid August 2, 1865.

389 [COLOR:1,1,1,255,255,255]Mark Henry Cook, son of Augustus and Polly (Parsons) Cook, was born June 27, 1836, in Moriah, New York. Early in life he removed to Brattleboro,Vermont, where he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. Upon the breaking out of the Civil War, he offered his services to his country, but he was of such a frail build that he was rejected. He was a good horseman, however, and on September 17, 1861, he enlisted from Brattleboro as a member of the famous First Vermont Cavalry, which made such an enviable record and achieved such fame 1866, Mr. Cook married Emily Melissa for efficiency and bravery that it was equalled by but few other cavalry regiments in the service. Mr. Cook saw extended service, participating in every campaign and taking an active part in all engagements in which his regiment participated until March i, 1864, during 2, 1870, the wife of Frederick H. Colvin, which service he had displayed many feats of daring and bravery. On that date he was selected as one of eight hundred picked men from the Army of the Potomac to participate in General Kilpatrick's attempt to release the Union prisoners at Richmond, Virginia.Cook, with eleven others of his company, were then taken prisoners, five of whom were paroled six months later. Of the six remaining, he was the only one who survived the extreme hardships of the Confederate prisons, in which he was confined for over a year, having been a prisoner during that time at Richmond, Belle Isle, Andersonville, and Florence, Georgia. On March 28, 1865, at the close of the war, Mr. Cook was paroled and he returned to his home in Brattleboro, his health, which had never been of the most robust, seriously affected, and which he never fully regained during the remainder of his life. After returning home from he war and partially regaining his broken health, Mr. Cook again took up agricultural pursuits, continuing thus engaged until about twenty years prior to his death, when he removed to Fitchburg, Massachusetts, where he continued to make his home until his demise, which occurred in that city, July 21, 1912, at the age of seventy-six years. After removing to Fitchburg he did not engage permanently in any business. In political faith Mr. Cook was a stalwart Republican, and although never a candidate for office, he was always greatly interested in public affairs and was unusually well informed on political issues of the day. On July 21, 1866, Mr. Cook married Emily Melissa Thayer, who was born July 17, 1842, in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, daughter of Roland Sears and Almeda (Barber) Thayer, and to this union were born two children : Benjamin Albert and Ada Louise, born February 2, 1870, the wife of Frederick H. Colvin, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts.[:COLOR] Cook, Mark Henry (I7759)
