This picture is of the Deerfield Cemetery Vault dated 1884. Reuben W. Thayer, 
son of Reuben & Julia Thayer (my 3rd great-grandparents)was awarded the 
contract in October of 1884 to build this vault for a bid of $2,300.00. I have 
a copy of the actual city minutes that verifies this. The first man that bid 
on this project, (Jason Hemenway) failed to execute the contract so then it 
was awarded to Reuben W. Thayer.  The large monument you see in front of the 
vault has the Thayer name on the left front side of it. This is the burial 
plot for Reuben W. Thayer Sr., his wife, Julia F., their son who built this 
vault, Reuben W. Thayer, his wife, Mary Lanettie (Hawkins) Thayer and their 
son, Orrin Albert Thayer.
