[William and his brother Andrew, teen-aged sons of Eli and Roxanna Foote, became ill after performing as pallbearers on a hot and sultry day, helping to carry a casket two miles to the Guilford Green. They died soon afterwards, and their grandfather established this private family cemetery so that no such event would be repeated. -courtesy of Sharon Olson]
