| Notes |
- Excerpt from The History of Grafton, Worcester, County, Massachusetts, 1879, Page 534:
"[Joseph Merriam] was a hale old man of nearly eighty years, when he met with a sudden and fatal accident. He was driving home from mill, and sitting on the front seat of his butcher-cart. While coming down a steep hill, near Peter Hunt's, the harness broke, the "tackling" gave way, his horse fell, and he was precipitated to the ground, striking upon his forehead or temple. The blow rendered him unconscious, and death ensued before he could be carried home. A pile of stones by the roadside marked the scene for several years, and was very impressive to every passer-by. He was a deacon of the congregational church." [2]
