The Old North Cemetery, Town of Guilford, Windham County, Vt. Often Called "The Blanchard Cemetery" is the oldest cemetery in Guilford. It is near where the first settler. Micah Rice, lived Many grave stones of the early settlers are missing. It is not in use-grass covered many stones broken. It has little care. It has to be approached from the farm of Mr. Beals(1958). Perhaps Mrs. Mary Elliot, wife of Joseph Elliot, was one of the early burials 1704. I do not know where he died or where buried. Of later burials is Mrs. Betsey (Melendy) Maxwell, died 1847 in her 57th year.
