T. Richard Kessell was in business with Alexander Lawson’s- a monument company just outside the gates of Oak Grove on Prospect Street. They made use of the excellent Fall River granite quarried just down the road a short distance from the cemetery. I would love to know more about your relative and of any specific stones he may have carved./ FOG

His name is not located in Findagrave for Oak Grove, and I am wondering if there is some other way to locate his grave and if there are other family member buried in a family plot.

I came across an Obit for Francis Elias Parry who died in June of 1920 and buried in Oak Grove. I would like to know the location of his plot and if there are more Parry’s buried in this cemetery.

Thank you,
Gail McKinnon

My great grandfather’s name was Nicholas Kessell and I have always known he was a stonecutter in Fall River Mass in the mid to late 1800′s as he past on in 1904 of “stone consumption”. I came across a book “The Fall River Directory of 1882 and notice an ad in there for Kessell and Lawson, a stonecutting company. I can only guess that my great grandfather was in that partnership. My question is, if there is anyway you could find out if he was all involved in the cutting of the Borden tombstone in 1892? I have been intrigued all my life, but now am very curious.
Thank you,
Elaine Kessell
There is never any information about stonecutters.

I was born in Newport RI, but with the exceptions of summers I have pretty much lived in Fl. My grandparents as well as other relatives are buried in this cemetery. I have been trying for many years with out much sucess I might add, to do a family tree. I know there are many sites out there that offer this, but they are too expensive. Does anyone know if I would be able to contact the caretaker for any information that may be on the burial cards? Any ideas would br greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
