Today I found the graves of Albert’s first two

Rd., Winchester, New Hampshire.

Abby
wife of A.A. Fassett died April 16, 1860

On July 26, 1980 I was able to read the following
on Abby’s gravestone:
Life is like the budding flower,
When killed by frost e’er it blooms,
So death shows it’s mighty power,
And hastens loved ones to the tomb.
On July 30, 1980 I found the graves of Abbie’s
and Harriet’s paernts, and two of their sisters at the far end of the road where Abby and Rachel are buried. Also, there were those of two of their sisters.
