FATHER: Royal Blake

MOTHER: Hannah (Metcalf) Blake

HEADSTONE INSCRIPTION: In Memory of Joseph, son of Mr. Royal Blake & Mrs. Hannah, his wife, he Dec'd Nov. ye 7th, aged 12 weeks.

NOTE: I visited this cemetery in May 2007, and this stone was no longer there. The above headstone transcription was taken from the book "History of Cheshire & Sullivan Counties, NH." Page #82. Printed in 1886.

Joseph's mother Hannah died shortly after his death, probably as a result of complications from childbirth. He is most likely buried next to her at the Ash Swamp Cemetery. Her headstone is still standing, and there is no headstone on her left.
