"The first burying ground was dedicated in 1636 and was at the foot of Elm Street, between Water Street and the river. In 1848 the remains and monuments were removed to the Peabody Cemetery on Pine Street. (SEE: Pine Street Cemetery) There were 2,434 bodies moved. The Peabody merged with the Springfield Cemetery in 18??." - Lois Fisher from Rootsweb: Cemeteries in Hampden County
