To the southwest of the church are the vaults of the Bleecker, McFarlan and Popham families, and in the last-named repose the remains of the late William Popham, of Revolutionary fame, and his son, William Sherbrooke Popham. In this churchyard lie the remains of several unknown persons who died within the town limits, and so were given burial here. The following curious epitaph, -- the only j)eculiar one in the little buryingground, -- appears on the tombstone of James Bell. The stone was prepared by him and the lines were presumably of his own composition, --

" All you friends who are gathered here to weep, Behold the grave wherein I sleep ; Prepare for death while you are well, -- You'll be entombed as well as Bell.''

At the northwest corner of the Fox Meadow estate, and within a few rods of Hartsdale Station, stands a small iwo-stoiT frame structure formerly known as the " Fox Meadow Chapel." This building was first used as a carriage factory, but soon after the estate passed into the hands of Charles Butler, in 1856, it was converted into a private chapel under the above name. The first floor contained seatings for about a hundred persons and at the south end of the room was a dais with a small pulpit. The second story was merely used as a loft. For many years the chapel was used by no organized society, but its pulpit was occupied, upon invitation, by various Presbyterian clergymen, among others, by the Rev. Drs. Lyman Abbott and Irena'us Prime. At a later period the chapel was used by the Methodist Society of Hartsdale, who held there their Sunday-school and afternoon services, -- their own church being inconveniently situated. This was continued until the building of anew church by the society rendered the use of the chapel unnecessary.
