INDIAN CEMETERY
on east bank of Little Quittacus Pond

F __, I. F. (Israel Felix)
“To the Memory of Jean Squeen, who died April 13th, 1794 in the 23rd year of her age.
Also of Benjamin who died at sea April 22nd, 1799, in his 26th year. Children of Lydia Squeen a native”.
“When earth was made and time began
Death was decreed fate of Man.”
“To the Memory of Lidia Squeen, who died in 1811, age 72”.
“In God the poor & helpless find
A Judge most just, a parent kind”.
This was doubtless Lydia Tuspaquin, who married a Wamsley and who was drowned in Asswamputt Pond and was the mother of Jean & Benjamin Squeen.

There are other graves here, whose stones are entirely demolished.
