| Source | Source(s): Twenty Decades in Plymouth NH 1763-1963, Eva Speare, Bicentennial Commission of Plymouth NH: Page 16 says: The Arnold Spencer land became the home of the wealthy Widow Bridget Snow. A descendant, Mrs Hattie Harriman Trow, related the story that Widow Snow with her son, Henry, and her four daughters lived in a dug-out until the son built his home along the Dartmouth College Road and the daughters found husbands. Another daughter was then in Hebron and her mother walked through the woods to make visits while the wolves howled in the dense forest. Widow Snow's grave is marked by the oldest headstone in Plymouth in the small cemetery near the Spencer barn. Pg 17 has a picture of the stone, and the caption also states that it is the oldest headstone in Plymouth. In 2001, the stone is still in remarkably good condition for it's age. | |
