Boylston, MA
at the intersection of Main and School Street
One of the first acts after the incorporation of what is now Boylston into the North Precinct of Shrewsbury, was to acquire from Lieutenant Eleazar Taylor, two acres of land which the inhabitiants dedicated to the use of a Meeting House and a Burial Ground. The Burial Ground was laid out in 1742 and the first burial took place April 14, 1745 and was that of Garner Maynard, son of Elisha and Hulda Maynard - he was 11 months, 11 days old.
Many of Boylston's most important historical figures are buried here including Capt. Robert Andrews, commander of the town's Minutemen in 1775; Dr. Samuel Brigham, Paymaster on the staff of General George Washington; Henry Keyes, the town's only verteran of the French and Indian War; Rev. Ebenezer Morse, the first minister and a prominent Tory during the Revolution; and many graves of men who served in the War of Independence. This ancient cemetery is one of the few grave yards in this part of Massachusetts that ever featured in a body snatching. In the early part of the nineteenth century there resided in the family of Captain Robert Andrews Senior, a young, Black about eighteen years old. He was known as Moses Cate and his family as the Cate Bondsman family for they had formerly been slaves of the Andrews family. Moses was then employed by the Taylors as a farmhand and he was finely developed and a very healthy youn man. One day he complained of a slight illness and a young physician who had come into the town with the intention of settling here, was sent for to attend him. The young man grew no better and after a few hours of intense suffering, died. He was buried in the back part of the cemetery. A few mornings later, the hired man at a nearby taverhouse (probably the Taylor Tavern ) who had been out late the preceeding night returned after the house had been closed, entered the barn and lay down to sleep. On awakening the next morning he was surprised to find that he had been sleeping by the side of the dead Black. The following spring, Captain Gershom Flagg was on his way to the annual town meeting when he found the wooly scalp of Cate hanging from the wooden archway across the brook flowing out of Malgasce Swamp. The physician in question left the town soon after this discovery. Apparently the young doctor had decided to use the body for medical experiments and had disposed of it in or near the brook after he was finished. The identity of the doctor is not known with any certitude. By the 1830's the burial ground was becoming crowded and a new site was purchased and the Pine Grove Cemetery was established in 1837. Only occasional burials took place after this in the Old Burial Grounds. Sources: George L. Wright, Town Historian, "Unpublished Manuscripts"
