In the present writing we have endeavored to answer the query of our caption, and will summarize thus:— These stones of various kinds were a memorial to some of the aboriginal dwellers at this particular spot, erected at the instance of Mr. Francis Brooks, then owner and resident, in 1884. The property had been in the Brooks family since 1656, and in the sale to the real estate trust no provision was made for their preservation as memorials. It is well that owing to the efforts of one of our aldermen the city has taken it over and placed it in care of the park department for the future. Here was the Indian burial place, here was the home of the aboriginal king Nanepashemit, in which being dead he lay buried, which was visited by Miles Standish and eight of the Pilgrims from Plymouth on September 21, 1621, a place they liked so

o new wooden boxes which were coated with a preservation composition. Prior to January 9, 1925, a concrete vault three feet, four inches square inside and one foot, nine inches deep, its enclosing wall seven inches thick, had been prepared. Mr. Tutten, who redressed the base stone with its inscription, prepared at the West Medford granite works a slab of Milford granite twelve inches thick, large enough to entirely cover the vault. In the box with its contents was placed a written account (as above given) of the occurrence of the opening, and a copy of the Register as above named securely wrapped in black Neponset paper for its better preservation. At 1.35 P. M. on Friday, January 9, 1925, Mr. Tutten rolled the new base stone in position over the vault in which the boxes of Indian remains had just been placed, and directly afterward re-erected the monument upon it.
