    The explanation for the Granite Grave Stone Marker for John Fuller currently located in the East Parish Burying Ground can be found in a 1892 News Paper Notice from the Newton Journal.

    Apparently Charles F. Read found John’s stone to be in perfect condition, except it was detached from the ground and leaning against another stone. He proposed and apparently carried out a project to place the loose stone into a new Granite base to perpetuate for many years more the name of one of the original settlers of Newton.

    The original stone is now missing leaving only the empty granite base today.

      Page 200-01 "As with millers, there was a traditional element of distrust of maltsters, who soaked and toasted barley to turn into malt for brewing. Many households did their own brewing and before the arrival of coffee and tea, beer was the normal family beverage. Some maltsters cut corners on the processes and others were not above adulterating their malt. Either way, their shortcomings would be noted and resented throughout the community, especially as maltsters ofter became wealthy."
