stop 4 – Thomas Browne gravestone
Simon Browne died in 1877 in Holyoke. This cemetery started in 1881. Thus this might be a cenotaph for him since he is perhaps buried in Saint Jerome Cemetery. Other members of his family that died afterwards are buried here.
stop 5 – Andrew Jackson Dibble gravestone
A J Dibble is buried in this cemetery. He lived with his family at the southernmost end of Ashley Pond for many years. He moved to Westfield at some point. One of his sons died very young and was buried here. Even though the family moved to Westfield, they area still all buried here. The reason might be the the Saint Jerome Society of Holyoke sponsored grave plots and stones. Thus there is no potters fields in the Catholic cemeteries of Holyoke. The Society funded all paupers graves.
