Trustees weigh remeasurement after family’s stone placed outside deed at Canaan Street Cemetery
Summary
Trustees discussed a family who placed a headstone outside their deed at Canaan Street Cemetery, agreed remeasuring is needed and said the most recent burial may need to be reinterred; a map was requested for the next meeting.
The Cemetery Trustees on Aug. 3 discussed a dispute at Canaan Street Cemetery after a family placed a stone that appears to encroach beyond their deeded plot. During the meeting, trustees said remeasuring the lot boundaries will be required and that a map should be provided at the next meeting to clarify placement.
Trustee Nancy Birkrem requested additional materials to clarify the record: "Nancy asked that a map be brought next time we discuss this as she was having trouble following the details." Trustees noted that headstones had been moved and that the markers may no longer reflect the location of burials; they said the most recent interment might have to be reburied if it is determined to be outside the family's property. No formal enforcement action or timeline was adopted at the meeting.
