The Hatch family had
owned this land and farmed on it during the 1800’s. William
C. Hatch came to Warsaw 1815. Like so many families of that time
the loved ones that passed were buried on a section of their property,
a bit of history I wasn't aware of before this adventure. As we
scoured the area for names we were looking for, the fellow next
door was mowing his grass. He saw us and steered his ridding mower
over in our direction. |

|
He parked his mower, walked
up and introduced himself and asked if he could help us find
what we are looking for. He went on to tell us he is a member
of the local historical society and had a number of historical
documents that included information on the Hatch family. He
invited us in to see the books and maps and to meet his wife.
He had a wealth of documents plus his own personal memories
from living in the area most of his life. We spent the remainder
of the day photographing the Cemetery. |
| As you can see for these photos the Hatch Cemetery
is in need of repair. |
 |
 |
Bev and I believe that this toppled marker is
probably the original Hatch stone, marking William Chamberlain
Hatch and maybe his Mother, Deborah Chamberlain-Hatch graves.
|
| We achieved our goal to find the the family burial grounds! |
