Chicopee Street Burying Grounds Notes: 228 Chicopee Street contact info: Cemetery Department 687 Front Street Chicopee MA 01013 (413)594-3481 Chicopee Street: For more than sixty years, the people of Chicopee continued their connection with the old First Church in Springfield, finding their way on foot, or on horseback, fording the Chicopee River, at the Indian Wading Place, or smetimes going by canoe down the Connecticut. The sabbath services and the weekly lectures were their edification and delight. Their lives were regulated by its ordinances and discipline; and when death came, they were laid to rest in the Old Burying Ground at the foot of Elm Street on the banks of the Connecticut. The names Japhet and Abilene, his wife, may still be seen on the old headstones in Peabody Demetery. They were removed when the building of the railroad made it necessary to discontinue the old burying place.
