Aaron Brown, a Revolutionary War veteran, contracted smallpox after it was brought to Framingham in 1793. Seventeen people in the area, including Brown, were placed in "pest houses" to isolate them from the rest of the population. Brown died of the disease, and he, along with possibly a few others, were buried on a site about 15 feet behind Mindess Elementary School.
Resident Carl Hakansson noticed this fall that the site was overgrown and looked neglected. Hakansson contacted Ashland's Reliable Fence Co., which agreed to donate a fence, and the Ashland Historical Society, which agreed to pay for the installation. A group of volunteers cleared out the spot, and the fence was installed late last month.
