In its origin, this little graveyard illustrates the horror with which the smallpox was regarded during the 18th century, especially during the epidemic of 1792-93. The land for the cemetery was given in 1808 by Ephraim Brigham to the Second Parish in Marlborough, which in 1806 built its church on Pleasant Street. His parents, Capt. William and Lydia Brigham, had been buried here in 1793 on what had been part of the Brigham farm, having been denied interment in the town cemeteries because they died of smallpox.
The cemetery sits on about 1.12 acres. There are approximately 250 headstones. The earliest death date is 1782 and the latest 1933.
The Massachusetts Historical Commission refers to this cemetery in MACRIS as MRB.806 Brigham Cemetery.
This cemetery is referred to as GR4 Brigham Cemetery in the "Vital Records of Marlborough Massachusetts to the end of the year 1849."
