This society is in communion with the Bedford Presbytery. In the grave yard adjoining the church, are buried the remains of the

Rev. Samuel Sackett, who died June 5th, 1784. He was a judicious, faithful, laborious and successful minister of Christ. Thrice blest departed spirit thou art free From the toils of mortality. The monument of his son is inscribed as follows : " Here lyes the body of Joseph Sackett, born April 18lh, 1735, and departed this life, December, 1757."

" Behold all ye that now pass by," As you are now, so once was I, As I am now, so you must be, Prepare for death and follow me. There are also monuments to Captain Samuel Sackett, Deacon Knapp and others. In the south-east corner of the yard, lie the mortal remains of Colonel Green, the hero of the Red hank, and Major Flagg his brave companion in arms, both of whom fell by the hands of cruel treachery, on the morning of the 14th of May, 1781. But where shall we look for a monument or even a stone to mark the spot where these brave patriots lie pillowed in the dust? When will justice be rendered to the memory of the brave and illustrious dead who fell in the noble cause of freedom?
