A 1923 newspaper article in the Rochester Courier (on May 25th) wrote that Lewis Buzzell had been buried immediately following his death. When word that his brother (William Caldwell Buzzell) was travelling south to claim his body, he had been taken up and placed in a metallic coffin, reinterred into the ground until his sibling arrived.
Upon his body's arrival in Barrington, New Hampshire, a large funeral was held at the Congregational Church, and he was buried on Sunday, May 17th, in a plot on the family farm. Some time following the 1888 creation of Oak Hill (later renamed Pine Grove) Cemetery, he and his family would be reinterred there.
Below is the location of the Barrington farm of this Buzzell family, marked on an 1856 map of Strafford County. It was located on what is now called Ramsdell Lane, as seen on current map found below.
