NH HAMPTON FALLS — Hampton Falls Cemetery Trustees approved a revised by-law clarifying burial plot marker requirements. The four trustees, Wendy Harrington, Glenn Johnson, Elizabeth Blankenship, and Robert Woodes (sexton), voted to mandate that plot owners purchase corner markers and install them in consultation with the cemetery sexton within six months of purchase, addressing misplacements that previously threw off measurements. A ground-penetrating radar survey completed June 29 by Topographix identified two previously unrecorded graves in Westview Cemetery: a four-day-old infant in the Stickney lot and Edna Huff in the Huff-Thurston lot, both now marked with metal plates.
