Wardboro Cemetery: Maps of 1858 and 1876 show varying home
sites near here. Across the road, north of the present cabin
lived Martin Ward with his wife Carolyn and their four children
(1858), while later J. Waters used the site. You can follow an
old road to the right, just before the cemetery. It leads (after
you ford the stream) to Dan Archer's farm (now cellar hole) up
on the high plateau. Earlier S. Norton fanned here. Somewhere on
the right of the road was a saw mill and two other homes in
1858.
Thirty two people are buried in the cemetery: the first,
Zechariah Ward in 1842, the last, infant Emma Clark in 1909.
Life could be pretty precarious in Wardsboro. During the civil
war years of 1862-1865 only young people were buried here -
three Tanner children in just one summer. The family names on
gravestones reflect the Wardsboro community and its changing
residents - Wards, Tanners, Shufeldts, Waters, Potter, Phillips,
Archer, Granger and Clark.
