Winter Cemetery 

Off Mountain Hill Road on the right, North Grosvenordale   Unknown Acreage
GPS Lat. 41.983302 Long. -71.911020

This family cemetery is located on private property. As early as 1942, there has been a stipulation that “The grantors reserve the right of way to a family cemetery in the northeast section of said land.” This is currently identified in the deed associated with map 42, block 88, lot 161 in the Town of Thompson Assessor’s files.

When the Hale survey was done in the 1930’s, there were a number of field stones and only one stone with an epitaph which was for Ebenezer L. Hill. Ebenezer’s estate distribution gave $70.31 including his land holdings to each of his two brothers, William and James, and two sisters, Betsy and Sarah. Betsy Hill married George Winters and tract two of the current deed for the property where this cemetery is located references the ‘land of Betsy Winters”.
