The knoll at the northwest end of the bridge just east of the present Village Cemetery was the site of the first burying place at what was then called Wheelock Hollow, it was used as late as 1814.

Although most of the bodies had been removed, in 1915 Ferd Chase placed a bronze marker and granite monument to mark the final resting place of two soldiers of the Revolutionary War, one with a British bullet still in his body.

Since that time, however, the knoll has been removed for its gravel.
