USGenWen Hanson, MA Fern Hill Cemetery
Fern Hill Cemetery is Hanson's
main cemetery, founded in 1750, formerly the Second Precinct of
Pembroke. It is still in use today, with land extensions towards
Wampatuck Pond. Due to its sheer size, transcribing all of Fern Hill's
gravestones is a rather large task. Listed below is a compilation
gathered by Charles M. Thatcher in the late 1800s of some stones in the
cemetery, but even at the time it was by no means a comprehensive list.
