About the Morse Family Cemetery
Welcome to Morse Family Cemetery, a small and historic burial ground nestled in the tranquil setting of a pine grove atop a gentle hill in Walpole, Massachusetts. This intimate cemetery, surrounded by a granite block wall, serves as a serene resting place for five members of the Morse family.
Established in 1829 on the land of Jotham Morse II, the cemetery is the final resting place of Jotham Morse Jr. (1749-1829), his wife Abigail Gregory (1751-1842), their daughter Hannah Morse (1785-1829), Comfort Thompson, wife of Jotham Morse III, and Jotham Morse III (1781-1852). Each grave is marked by slate tablet stones with foot-stones, except for one marble tablet that has been lovingly reset despite its erosion over time.
Owned and maintained by the town of Walpole, the cemetery holds historical significance and offers a glimpse into the past, with a nearby map from 1832 indicating the presence of two Morse family homes across the street. While the cemetery is in need of care, it remains a poignant reminder of the area's rich history.
Visitors are welcome to explore this peaceful site and reflect on the legacy of the Morse family. We invite you to experience the historical charm and quiet dignity of Morse Family Cemetery, where the past is lovingly preserved amidst the natural beauty of its surroundings.
