Mass. cemetery’s graves sliding down hill

GREENFIELD, Mass. - The eternal slumbers of about 50 people — including a former Massachusetts governor — are about to be interrupted, either by nature or man.

Directors of the Green River Cemetery are rushing against gravity in an attempt to exhume and rebury the remains before they slide down a steep slope into the cemetery’s namesake.

“We need to move as fast as we can,” said Alan Blanker, president of the Green River Cemetery Co., the nonprofit group that runs the public burial ground. “The last thing we want is for any remains to slip away.”

For a final resting place, the Green River Cemetery seems about as quiet and peaceful as they come. Well-manicured paths wind through the 25-acre site, passing tree-shaded headstones and a monument carved by the sculptor Daniel Chester French.
