This is the first burial in Forestdale West Cemetery of Holyoke. This happened 4 decades before any other burials because the administrator of the cemetery was hoping to have a new cemetery here but continue burials in Forestdale Cemetery. In order to not pay taxes on the land, you need to have at least one burial.
