If you would kindly read my first comment I have given names, plot numbers and locations for the people I am interested in. I have since been told by Tom there is a stone with their names on and would dearly love to see a picture of this. I am guessing this relates to the Pashleys. If you would be so kind as to take a picture sometime I would be most grateful.

Usually I have comments up in a couple of days. This site is not an official online extension of the cemetery office and the best way to find out if your relatives are in Oak Grove Cemetery is to call or write to the director. I get to Fall River twice a month and if I get the chance, I am happy to try to look up and photograph ancestors’ graves.

I did a comment 20 days ago which is still awaiting moderation far as I can tell. Thank you.

I live in the UK and have discovered some ancestors were buried at your beautiful cemetery. I have names, dates and numbers but obviously am unable to visit in person. Can anyone be kind enough to tell me if there are gravestones for these people please?

I have a copy of Cornelia Otis Skinner’s First Book, “Tiny Garments” signed to her parents. (Dick’s grandparents). The book came from the Skinner home in Woodstock, Vermont. I thought there may be some interest in the Skinner family to keep this book in their possession.

These motifs have meaning. Yet understanding the knot patterns and why they make such ideal wedding rings can be illusive. The ancient motifs are rooted in mysterious cultures that stretch back well before written history.

Songs can array from different styles and they don’t essentially all need to be of the spiritual nature. The belief primarily is that funeral hymns are probably the most well-liked and therefore are performed much more often at funeral or memorial services nevertheless, there are a lot of additional funeral tunes that households choose from.
