Note; A man by the name of Cocroft is buried in
this lot. Albert W. Conner states that he
was a Spanish war veteran, came to Hartford,
Vt., (he thinks from Rhode Island) and was
brought to the Mary Hitchcock Hospital where
he died of spotted fever. There is no record
of him at the Hospital, the Town Clerk's
office at White River Junction nor the Dept.
of Vital Statistics at Concord.
Mr. Conner states that he was buried by the
American Woodsmen. Since Cocroft was a veteran,
Mr. Conner wrote Washington asking if they
would provide a stone. They replied that they
could not since he was a deserter.
As of Jan. 19, 1951, the Veterans' Bureau
at Washington wrote me that they could give
me no information from such data as I gave
them.
