   This footstone was found broken and upside down in a driveway on Willow Avenue. The history of this stone is probably lost forever, but it is interesting to speculate. There was once a Carr Family on Willow Avenue that disappeared. A man named Cook Brownell owned the Carr Farm in the mid 1800s and reserved the right to the burying ground when he sold the farm in 1854. Cook died in 1873. Marble gravestones were popular at that time.

    One of two items believed to have belonged to painter Worthington Whittredge - his descendant is less confident about this item. The other is 2022.13.2.
