Quabbin Reservoir Cemetery Photographs, 1928–1945
The new cemetery, named Quabbin Park Cemetery, officially opened on August 25, 1932. On October 4, 1944, the cemetery removals from the former cemeteries were completed. Beginning in 1927, the MDWSC began a census of the burials in all of the affected cemeteries and photographed each cemetery lot. Of the approximately 7,500 bodies, 945 (12.6 percent) were relocated to "outside cemeteries." In addition to cemeteries in the four disincorporated towns, there are cemeteries in the towns of Belchertown, New Salem, Pelham, Petersham, and Shutesbury.
