Lat: 42° 21' 20"N, Lon: 72° 54' 20"W

Submitted by Pat Kennedy, Dec 12, 2004 [pat.kennedy@the-spa.com]. Total records = 26.

Directions: From the Mass Pike take Route 20 West to Route 112 North. Go north on 112 for about 15 miles. The Cemetery is one mile north of South Worthington on the right.

Converse Cemetery is known as "GR 1" (grave yard #1) in the Worthington, Massachusetts Vital Statistics to 1850. Town historians believe it was a private cemetery. It is quite small and contains the plots of only a few families.

The first recorded burial date is 1847. The cemetery is no longer used and is maintained by the town of South Worthington.

I have recorded all of the legible stones in this cemetery in 2004, but there are a handful that are not legible.
