Oak Grove started as a plain and non-expressive place to bury the local dead when established in 1855. In time, however, its looks and designs improved. Triple arch with a gothic cross, wrought iron gates with swirls and rosettes, the entrance to the cemetery is beautifully carved and decorated in the way of our ancestors before the invention of mi...
The most popular occupants of the cemetery are an entire family involved in an unsolved murder mystery that has gone down in history. That would be the Borden family. Also buried in Oak Grove Cemetery is Andrew Jackson Jennings, defense attorney for Lizzie Borden during the murder trial of her parents, Andrew and Abby Borden. However, Andrew and Ab...
Born May 3, 1903, Sarah Maria Cornell was the daughter of James and Lucretia Leffingwell Cornell. Lucretia, daughter of an old puritan well-to-do family, was disowned by her father for marrying James. James had worked at Lucretia’s father’s paper mill, and Mr. Leffingwell found James highly unacceptable to marry his daughter. Maybe Lucretia’s fathe...
At age nineteen, Sarah’s life took her in a different direction. She began working at various mills in Connecticut and Rhode Island. She was often in trouble for theft and “inappropriate” actions for a woman during those times. Between 1823 and 1826, Sarah sought out to change her ways and converted to Methodism. Little did she know this conversion...
In October of 1832, Sarah moved to Fall River. Sarah was now clearly showing signs of pregnancy. On December 21, 1832, John Durfee found Sarah Cornell beaten to death and hanged from a post. Sarah was murdered, and it was clear who the killer was. Among Sarah’s belongings, a note was found that said: “If I should be missing, enquire of the Rev. Mr....
Sarah was buried on the Durfee farm, where her body was found. A coroner’s jury was called before any autopsy had taken place. Her death was ruled a suicide “due to the influence of the wicked conduct of a married man.” Sarah’s body was then exhumed from her grave for an autopsy. The autopsy revealed Sarah was four months pregnant. A second coroner...
The Methodist church refused responsibility to bury Sarah; she was only a probationary member. Her body had already been exhumed once for autopsy. Fall River Congregationalists assumed the responsibility and buried Sarah as an indignant on Christmas Eve. The town was outraged and raised money to help with the investigation. Avery was indicted in Ma...
The Methodist church led the defense using a strategy of Sarah’s promiscuity, mental stability, and corrupt life. The prosecution’s strategy involved an attempt to portray the clergy of the Methodist church as a dangerous, secret society that would defend their minister and the good name of their church at whatever cost. In the end, Avery was acqui...
The most popular grave visited in the cemetery belongs to none other than Lizzie Borden. Her father, Andrew Borden, and stepmother Abby Borden were brutally murdered with an axe in their home in 1892. Lizzie and the housekeeper were the only two at home at the time of the murders. Or so they said. Investigations eventually led to her arrest. She wa...
Andrew Borden was a man of great wealth but frugal in means. His fortune was the most logical motive for his murder. Andrew, known as a humorless, astute businessman, had few, if any, friends. The only real friend he did have was his dead first wife’s brother. Coincidentally, he was visiting the Borden family days preceding the murders. Despite his...
