Our Collections
The lists of our Collections are admittedly out of date. When we open the doors to our museum, we plan to have updated lists documenting all of the items below and maybe more. We are also exploring ways to make these lists interactive or searchable versus the static lists we currently show. Again with the museum, we plan to have these lists updatable in real time so you will always have the latest discoveries at your fingertips. Thank you for your patience.

The Moulton Cemetery contains just one monument, notably that of John Moulton 10/31/1845 - 14yrs10mo - Son of Abner & Nancy B Moulton and Samuel E. Moulton 10/30/1845 - 16yrs9mo - Son of Abner & Nancy B Moulton.
​
The two brothers most likely died of one of the common contagious diseases of the time. Possibly small-pox since victims of that illness were often buried alone, isolated from others.
​
Their sister, Susan, married Benjamin Stillings and is buried in the nearby Stillings-Towle Cemetery, which is well-documented on Find-A-Grave. She died 01/12/1876 - 49 yrs, 3 mos.
Moulton was her maiden name.
According to a link from her page to her father’s, Abner Moulton is buried in Vermont, so most likely the family moved there at a later time.

Details of Parker/Cobb cemetery provided by Mike Eisner. (January 2022 This information was found on a Facebook site, "Crawford Notch & Environs History Group")
In reviewing the past posts, I noticed a few posts about the Cobb Cemetery aka Glidden Field Cemetery. I am very familiar with this cemetery. The people buried there are my uncle’s ancestors. There hasn’t been a lot published concerning the Parker and Cobb families. They are important families for Hart’s Location and Bartlett as their history in the area goes back prior to 1830.
In the late 1970s and early 1980’s, my extended family use to get together and hike up to railroad tracks to the cemetery. It was usually my grandmother, my mother and all us kids (cousins). The expedition was always led by my Aunt Judi. She led the group because she knew where the cemetery was. Back in those days it wasn’t so easy to find.
I will never forget going there. To me it was deep in the woods. It was dark even if it was sunny. Surprisingly I never found it creepy. It was always peaceful. I remember the big trees all around. There were no weeds, just some moss.
We would take stone rubbings and clear up fallen branches. All the stones were standing. We loved looking and reading the names. Sometimes there were two names; Hiram Parker and Hiram Parker as well as Phebe Cobb and Phebe Cobb. Hiram and Hiram were father and son while Phebe and Phebe were mother and daughter. I think I asked this same question every year “why are there two sets of graves with the same name?”
For years we made the journey to the cemetery. As we got older and started our own lives, we stopped caring for the important graves. Some of the family, mainly my cousin and I, still go there every year to see what’s going on. I don’t live nearby so I visit when I can. I do know that other relatives visit very yearly, when they are in the area.
For a while we could not see the cemetery because of all the ferns and underbrush that grew up after some trees were cut down. I know that some nice people went in and took care of it. They erected the main stone, etc. I’m glad someone cared enough to save what was remaining. Sadly most of the stones have fallen and were in bad shape. Time certainly was not a friend here.
Here is everything you might need to know about those buried at the cemetery. It follows below.
I have also included a map that shows who lived where in the basic Cobb Farm Road area up to Sawyers in 1861. In 1870 the land near the cemetery was valued at $2000 and owned by E Cobb. Think of E Cobb as near where the Cobb Farmhouse is currently.
H Parker is Hiram Parker Sr. Treasurer of Harts Location. If you notice the homestead is near the Cobb Cemetery’s location. This may be the cellar hole people have mentioned.
P Moulton is Perkins Moulton
L Moulton is Levi Moulton
Behind where my grandparents house was are the graves of two of the Moulton children. A story for another day. Oddly enough there’s a F Cobb - Freeman Cobb that lives near E Cobb but not on this map.

I hope you found this information interesting. Please let me know any further info if you have any. There are a lot of connections between the Parkers, Cobbs, Stillings, Higgins and more. Too much for one post.
Jess Davis of Bartlett has been instrumental in compiling this list of Bartlett Cemeteries and taking a personal interest in their well-being. She has been restoring gravestones and whole cemeteries for about 15 years. As a middle school teacher, she has led over a dozen field trips to clean, repair and reset gravestones in Indiana Maine and New Hampshire cemeteries. She is more than happy to edit or transfer memorials--just ask! Visit her websites below:

The Cemeteries In Bartlett or Nearby
Leonard Eudy (right) and Ephraim Eudy (left) about 1863
Dr Leonard M. Eudy
SOURCE: History of the Fifteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, pg 214 1862-1863 By Charles McGregor
History of the New Hampshire Surgeons in the War of the Rebellion,
by Conn Granville Priest
Dr Leonard M. Eudy was born in Bethlehem, New Hampshire on January 8, 1843. He attended the Bethlehem school system through grade 12. At the age of nineteen, in September of 1862, he enlisted in Company C 15th Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers as a private along with his brother, Ephraim, age 25 and his older brother, William David Eudy, who enlisted on the same day as Leonard.
In December of 1862 Pvt Leonard Eudy boarded the steamer ship Cambria at Brooklyn New York. Ephraim was left behind due to illness, but caught up with the Regiment later. So far I have found no further reference to William's military service, but he returned to Littleton after serving for 15 months, also in Co. C. His occupation is listed as a farmer, married Maria Woodbury on December 31, 1870, The Cambria embarked on a twenty-six day cruise from Brooklyn, around Key West and finally ending up in Carrollton Louisiana (New Orleans).
In Carrolton on January 18, Sunday. a cold, east wind was blowing a gale. Charles B. Ela, Company C, was accidentally shot in thigh, and died soon after amputation. Ela was the tallest man of Company C, and received his wound at the hand of the shortest man of the company, Leonard M. Eudy. They were just relieved from guard, and in a playful mood Ela took on the point of his bayonet a hollow soup bone that lay there, which Eudy undertook to knock off in a jocular way, when his gun discharged its contents into Ela's thigh, completely shattering the bones. Eudy was called the "bantam". He was a mere schoolboy at the time of this sad accident, and his sensitive nature was so deeply shocked that he never recovered from its effects.
After a month at Carrollton Eudy's Company took up residence at Camp Parapet about a mile upstream from current day New Orleans. Life at this camp was described as monotony at its finest. This was not to last as Company "C" spent the next six months of 1863 fighting in the swamps of Louisiana. They were a part of The Siege of Port Hudson and early in the Civil War the control of the Mississippee was of major importance to both the North and the South. It's ultimate control by the Northern forces was a critical part of winning the war.
Company C had the dubious distinction of suffering the highest number of deaths of all the Companies in the Regiment. Of the 71 original members 30 died, only 4 from battle related injuries, the rest from illness.
Both Leonard and Ephraim were mustered out of service in August 1863. Early in 1865 Leonard commenced his medical education at Harvard University under the direction of Drs. Charles Tuttle and Henry Watson. In 1870 Leonard began his medical practice in Littleton and moved to Bartlett in 1871.
While practicing in Bartlett in 1877 an epidemic of small pox broke out in a lumber camp. Eudy assumed charge of the camp and established a pest house. Within a few months Eudy himself contracted the disease and died at the age of 34 on November 28, 1877.
His grave site is a solitary grave at the base of Cave Mountain, surrounded by a black iron fence. His marker plaque was replaced by a preservation committee led by Roger Marcoux in the late 1990's.

Leonard Eudy's simple stone. Hard to read so you will have to visit in person to read it.
