Goshen Cemetery - "An Historians Paradise"

Elsie Masterton described the little cemetery in Goshen as an “historians paradise” in her hilarious book called Nothing Whatever to Do (1956, p.70).

"How young were the majority of the dead here, particularly the women; thirty seemed to have constituted a pretty full life. The men, on the other hand, had been hale and hearty; most of them had all their wives buried near at hand, one next to the other usually they called the first wife 'Beloved Wife,' the next 'Consort,' and from there on they merely used her first name. The children were overwhelming in number. Each family had lost several, at least, in infancy."
