Enter through main arched gate.
As you enter take the road to the right.
Start counting the two trees to right side of road going up hill.,
bear right again. Now look to the left for a cross-shaped headstone marked "Magrone"
Continue way up the hill on foot looking to left, see the two fir trees with grave stone (copper plaqued) marked Lucinda Moody.
Look across the road , straightway direction of grave, to find the matching plaque copper trimmed headstones that are part of the King Family.
Now hop over the stone wall and cross the road to find the tall pillar type headstone marked FLOOD.. Near this grave you will notice the four headstones with the same last name, they begin with C, when you find it,now search for Lovina Pease on the back of the stones, with your back against the headstone look for a walkway that is straight ahead(any of the three will lead you there)cross the road to go there and you will be halfway there on your journey.
Follow to end of walkway and take a left on road.Proceed to the end where the Cushman stone bench grave is., take a right.
Now continue up the road to the headstone that is shaped like an Anvil (Burdick), continue to go uphill.
Look to the right for the white tall pillar graves marked in Japanese. You will know you are on the right road as you take the bend that has the grave marked FLYNT.
On the left will be a prominent family grave area that is marked Rogers-Coltman. Now look behind tombstone to find Eli Rogers for certainty. The letterbox is hidden on the back side of stone wall.
Story of Anvil:(Burdick), was a blacksmith in Monson.
Story of Japanese graves: Students that attended Monson Academy. These two boys committed suicide.in 1867
Story of Eli Rogers: Had farm in Monson named Fern Croft Farm.House dates back to 1849, in which still stands today with family residing in it. Eli was one of the founders of the methodist church here in monson back in 1850. The hider and creator of the letterbox is the great, great, great, great, great granddaughter of Eli Rogers...Have fun....
