Hi Lisa,

I remember the farm being most of the land along both sides of Johnson Road
and on one side it stretched back to Cedar Swamp Pond and on the other side I
am not sure how deep the land was. I think the land stretched down to
Chocolog Road and up to Aldritch Hill except for a spot on the south side. The
house was behind and to the left of the cemetery as you faced the cemetery.
William and Sophia (Johannson changed to) Johnson (my great grandparents) bought
the "farm" and moved there from Millville. He was a Swede/Fin and a
vulcanizer at the rubber shop. He immigrated from Purtim, Vassa, Finland.

Hi Jon -

Where was the Taft Farm?

I found a cemetery on the topozone map right where you said
in your message. It is just marked *cem*, with no name.

The map shows a few cemeteries in this area. One on Chocolog
just after Chestnut and before Johnson Road, then another on Chocolog
just past the intersection of Johnson Rd. Another one
on Glendale, between Aldrich & the intersection of Elmdale.

Glendale turns into Ironmine Road where there are 3 more
cemeteries marked in the section between Ironstone Road and
Mount Pleasant Road.

All of these cemeteries are just marked *cem* so they must be
small family type lots. There are other cemeteries with names
in this map series, so they must be the larger ones.

In RI there is a project that's been going on since the 1970's to
locate & document all the historical cemeteries in the State.
Is there anything like this project in MA, or is it all done on an
individual city/town basis.
