(not sure if this will be of any help)
The first death and burial in town was that of a Mr. Dunham, who was killed
by the falling of his hay-barrack upon him, and who was interred in the
present burying ground.

Allen, Ira Alle, Levi Allen, James Dwyer, and Hezekiah Goff, before

moved back to Pomfret. Mr. kDunham took his place, and afterwards Samuel
Farrar, father of Hon. Harvey D. Farrar, of this village. Nathan Allen was
deacon of the Congregational church of East Berkshire, but a society of
