FINAL Avoidance and Protection Plan Braley Cemetery (FRE.823) Freetown South Coast Rail Project, Phase 1

MassDOT has developed an avoidance and protection plan for potential impacts to the historic Braley Cemetery in Freetown (MHC #FRE.823), aka the Braley’s Station Cemetery.1 The cemetery is bisected by the New Bedford Main Line railroad right-of-way (ROW) (active MassCoastal freight line) between East Chipaway Road in Freetown and the Freetown-New Bedford town line. Project work in the section of the New Bedford Main Line ROW between Station (STA) 2527+00 and STA 2535+00 consists of the replacement of an existing culvert (CV-FRN-12) and improvements to the existing single-track structure (Figures 1 and 2).

Previous Investigations

The 2001 archaeological reconnaissance survey for the New Bedford/Fall River Commuter Rail Extension Project identified the presence of the recorded Braley Cemetery along the New Bedford Main Line railroad ROW in Freetown (Cherau et al. 2001). The origins of the cemetery were unknown and it was suggested that burials could pre-date the 1840 opening of the Old Colony Railroad from Weir Junction in Taunton through Freetown to New Bedford (Cherau and Banister 2009). Because of the potential for marked and unmarked burials adjacent to the ROW embankments, the 2001 report recommended avoidance and protection/stabilization measures in the area of the historic cemetery during construction activities for the new commuter railroad service. The 2009 reconnaissance survey for the South Coast Rail Project confirmed the 2001 survey assessment and continued to recommend the development of avoidance and protection/stabilization measures for the historic Braley Cemetery in Freetown to ensure that the cemetery is preserved during and post- construction work for improvements to the track structure in the railroad ROW.

In 2013 following Section 106 consultation among the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Massachusetts Historical Commission/State Historic Preservation Office (MHC/SHPO), and MassDOT for the South Coast Rail Project, additional documentary research including land evidence records was undertaken for the Braley Cemetery to more fully define the historical and modern boundaries of the cemetery on both sides of the contemporary railroad ROW (Cherau et al. 2013). The additional research determined that the historic cemetery on both sides of the ROW was established prior to the construction of the New Bedford and Taunton Railroad in 1839–1840. The northern and southern boundaries of the cemetery abutting the railroad ROW are depicted on a 1915 railroad valuation map; these boundaries roughly correspond to the modern assessor’s map for Lots 29.01 and 31 (Braley East and West Cemetery lots, see below). The 2013 report recommended that the Project avoid impacts outside of the current railroad ROW cut/cemetery embankments using the Town’s assessor map lot lines and 1915 railroad valuation map cemetery boundaries, and that the design provide for protection/stabilization measures along the cemetery-ROW property lines during and following project construction activities.

1 The cemetery lots on both sides of the railroad ROW have continued in active use for burials (2012 on the west side and 2016 on the east side – see below).

Existing Conditions/Cemetery History2

The historic Braley Cemetery in the MHC’s inventory (MHC #FRE.823) is comprised of three lots: Braley West (Assessor’s Lot 31); Braley East (Assessor’s Lot 29.01); and Reynolds Cemetery (Assessor’s Lot 29) (see Figure 1). All three cemetery lots are privately-owned, but the Town of Freetown Cemetery Commission takes care of grounds maintenance for the Braley East and Braley West cemetery lots.3 The Reynolds Cemetery is maintained by the private Reynold Cemetery Association and is accessed directly off East Chipaway Road. The Braley East cemetery lot is accessed through a driveway directly off East Chipaway Road. The Braley West cemetery lot is accessed through an undefined right-of-way in the yard of 7 East Chipaway Road.4

The west side of the railroad ROW is bordered by the Braley West Cemetery (so-called Braleyville Cemetery, Assessor’s Lot 31), which is rectangular in shape and encompasses 0.50 acres. Access to the cemetery is by way of East Chipaway Road through Assessor’s Lot 33. The Braley West Cemetery is referred to in “Old Cemeteries in Southeastern Massachusetts” by Charles M. Thatcher as “Cemetery at Braleys Station west of R.R.” In 2001 and 2008 the cemetery on the west side of the railroad ROW was observed to contain visible burial plots, a number of which were maintained but others that were fairly neglected and overgrown. The burials were all situated on top of a broad knoll bisected by the railroad ROW, opposite the Braley East Cemetery.

The east side of the railroad ROW is bordered by the Braley East Cemetery (so-called Braleytown Cemetery, Assessor’s Lot 29.01), which is roughly rectangular in shape and encompasses 0.60 acres with direct access to East Chipaway Road. The Braley East Cemetery is referred to in “Old Cemeteries in Southeastern Massachusetts” by Charles M. Thatcher as “Cemetery at Braleys Station east of R.R.” In 2001 and 2008 the cemetery on the east side of the railroad ROW was observed to contain visible burial plots, several of which at the top of the hill were within 15 feet (ft) of the cut embankment and stone retaining wall abutting the tracks. At that time, it was observed that some of the burial plots were well maintained while others were fairly neglected and overgrown, similar to those on the west side of the railroad ROW.

Braley West (Lot 31) and Braley East (Lot 29.01) form the cemetery on either side of the railroad ROW historically known as Braley’s Station Cemetery, which was established in 1841 and as of 2013 contained 150 burials (Cherau et al. 2013).5 An anonymous, undated transcript on file at the Old Colony Historical Society describes the cemetery as “in a field about 75 feet south of Chippeway Road in East Freetown. Both east and west of railroad about 200 feet south of the former site of the Braley’s Railroad Station in East Freetown, fairly well kept. No wall.” (Anon. n.d.). The transcript includes 116 names of interred persons, the earliest dating from 1817 (William S. Westgate) and the latest to 1950 (Donald Cornell) on the east side of the railroad ROW; and the earliest 1842 (Susan G. Lucas) and latest 1949 (Harry L. Woodis) on the west side of the railroad ROW. Cemetery records on file at the Freetown Historical Society and Freetown Cemetery Commission indicate the known date range of burials on the east side of the ROW to be 1845 (Mary Pittsley) to 2009 (Edna Warwick,

Cornell) in Braley East.

née Pittsley); the 1817 date was corrected to 1847 for William Westgate. The 2001 reconnaissance survey for the South Coast Rail Project identified a burial dating to 1984 on the east side of the ROW (Cherau et al. 2001), although this burial may be situated on the adjacent Reynolds Family Cemetery lot. For the west side of the cemetery (west side of the ROW), the historical society and cemetery commission records provide a date range of burials from 1841 (Betsey Gibbs) to 1999 (Charles Perry). Charles’ mother, Viola E. (Westgate) Perry, was also buried in Braley West in 2006.

The 2013 research produced documentary records suggesting that the cemetery was established prior to the construction of the New Bedford and Taunton Railroad, which was chartered in 1839 and completed in July 1840 (Karr 1995). The NYNHH Railroad Company 1915 valuation map for the section of ROW south of Braley Road (present East Chipaway Road) indicates that two cemetery strips of land (designated parcels 22 and 23 on the map) within the ROW were “titled” to the railroad on April 9, 1840 and October 14, 1879. Land evidence records indicate that the cemetery was used by members of the Braley, Reynolds, Pittsley, Westgate, and Wilbur families, who lived in this section of East Freetown in the nineteenth century. The 1915 railroad valuation map identifies the cemetery to either side of the ROW, and the northern and southern boundaries at that time roughly correspond to the modern assessor’s map for Lots 29.01 and 31. Deed records indicate that Daniel Westgate of East Freetown had ownership of the Braley West (Braleyville) cemetery in the 1870s; there are no other records of burial plot or lot ownership, and there is no known plan of either the Braley West or Braley East cemetery lots (Cherau et al. 2013).

Barbara Cole, local Freetown historian, reported in 2001 that Braley’s Station Cemetery may have been founded by the South Freetown Branch of the Dartmouth Baptist Church for their congregation (founded in 1805). The Baptist Church was located on the east side of Braley Road just north of the crossroad with Chipaway/East Chipaway Road, and was reorganized as the Braley Station Advent Christian Church in 1884. The church/congregation was abandoned before the 1940s, and then reopened following repairs in the early 1950s by the South Christian Church of All Nations. In 2001 the church building and grounds were acquired by the Church of the New Beginning (still extant) (Barcellos 2001). It is possible that permission(s) for the railroad to lay tracks through the cemetery lands to complete the ROW connection were decided by town or church vote, and not necessarily through deeded land transfers, although no information on the cemetery has been found in town records for the period from the 1830s through the 1870s (M. McCue, personal communication 2013 in Cherau et al. 2013).

A third cemetery lot (Assessor’s Lot 29) is on the east side of the railroad ROW, bordering East Chipaway Road (chain link fence) on the north and the Braley East cemetery lot on the south. The cemetery lot contains about 0.39 acres. It is owned by the Reynolds Cemetery Association, and is locally known as the Reynolds Cemetery. According to land evidence records and the Freetown Cemetery Commission, the Reynolds Cemetery was established in 1946 for use as a private family cemetery. There is no mention of a cemetery on the lot in any of the nineteenth-century property deeds reviewed as part of the 2013 documentary research (Cherau et al. 2013). In 2013 the Reynolds Cemetery Association, c/o Richard Pittsley, was identified as the owner and caretaker of Lot 29.

Proposed Construction Work

MassDOT’s 401/404 permit application project plans for the State of Good Repair Culvert & Bridge Replacement, MassDOT Freight Lines, include the replacement of an existing culvert (CV-FRN-12) that runs transverse to the ROW and carries a small natural stream under the track structure on the south side of the cut railroad embankment where the visible cemetery markers are located. The culvert work involves removing the existing 1.5-foot (ft)-x-3-ft stone box culvert, pipe, and headwalls, and replacing it with a 6-ft-x-7-ft concrete box culvert (see Figure 2). The limit of grading and excavations

A00831 - 11 Proposal No. 609200-106704 Addendum No. 3, March 19, 2019

for the removal of the existing culvert and installation of the new structure will extend east and west into the existing tree line in the railroad ROW.

The 30% design track plans for the New Bedford Main Line ROW indicated the improvements to the track structure through the historic cemetery will involve adding underground drainage pipes to both sides within 10 ft of the center line from STA 2527+00 to STA 2530+00. The pipes will extend from 2 to 4 ft below the existing grade. The proposed track work will not extend horizontally to the edge of the cemetery embankment, although the 30% design proposed a new ornamental fence along the existing stone retaining wall bordering the cemetery on the north side of the track (see Figure 1).

Avoidance and Protection Measures During Construction

MassDOT, in consultation with USACE and the SHPO, is proposing the following phased measures to ensure the protection of the cemetery lots including the historic Braley Cemetery in Freetown during the culvert replacement construction work in the fall 2018 and track structure improvements construction work starting in the fall of 2020.

Culvert Replacement

Protective Fencing and Signage

During culvert construction mobilization, the contractor will install high visibility (temporary) orange construction fencing along the limit of grading and limit of work/erosion control for the culvert replacement as depicted on the Culvert Plan and Profile Sheet (TD/324) (see Figure 2). MassDOT’s archaeological consultant will inspect the locations of the protective fencing on both sides of the track structure in the railroad ROW prior to the start of construction excavations for the removal of the existing culvert. Signs will be placed on the orange construction fencing that indicate SENSITIVE RESOURCE AREA ACTIVE/HISTORIC CEMETERY SITES– NO ACCESS ALLOWED.

The temporary protective fencing will be removed by the contractor at the completion of the culvert replacement construction work.

Archaeological Monitoring

MassDOT’s archaeological consultant will monitor construction excavations for the removal of the existing culvert structure and grading needed for the installation of the new culvert and headwalls at both sides of the track structure. Should any grave stones or human remains be uncovered during the excavations, the Project’s Post-Review Discoveries Plan Including Human Remains, to be developed and implemented in accordance with Stipulation V of the Project’s Programmatic Agreement, consistent with the Massachusetts Unmarked Burial Law (Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 38 § 6; Chapter 9, §§ 26A and 27C; and, Chapter 7, § 38A; all as. amended), will be followed.

Track Structure Improvements

During the track structure construction mobilization, the contractor will install high visibility (temporary) orange construction fencing along the limit of grading and limit of work/erosion control as depicted on the 30% Track Plan and Profile Sheet (TK-3055) (see Figure 1) and depicted on the corresponding 90% and final design plan sheets (Figure 3). MassDOT’s archaeological consultant will inspect the locations of the temporary protective fencing on both sides of the railroad ROW prior to the start of track construction work. Signs will be placed on the orange construction fencing that

A00831 - 12 Proposal No. 609200-106704 Addendum No. 3, March 19, 2019

indicate SENSITIVE RESOURCE AREA ACTIVE/HISTORIC CEMETERY SITES– NO ACCESS ALLOWED.

Construction Plans and Documents

The following guidelines will be followed in developing text for specifications or notes in contract and construction bid documents for both the 2018 culvert replacement construction work and for the subsequent track structure improvements work to prevent inadvertent impacts to the three cemetery lots. Digital Geographic Information System (GIS) information representing the location of the high visibility construction fencing will be recorded on all relevant construction plan sheets used in the contractor bid documents.

• The fenced areas will be placed on construction plans by MassDOT as a “Sensitive Resource Area Active/Historic Cemetery Sites No Access/No Impact.” Construction plans should include notes specifying that no excavation or grading should take place within the limits of the sensitive resource area.

• MassDOT’s archaeological consultant will meet on-site prior to construction and brief construction personnel on the nature of the sensitive resource areas and coordinate construction protocols in proximity to it, if necessary.

No ground disturbance or construction will take place outside the high visibility fencing placed along the railroad ROW in the area of the three cemetery lots.

MassDOT will indicate the location of the sensitive cemetery resource areas on the contractor bid documents for the culvert replacement construction work and on the contractor bid documents for the track structure improvements construction work. The bid documents should include notes specifying that the Sensitive Resource Areas (Active/Historic Cemetery Sites) on both sides of the railroad ROW are to be avoided during all stages of the construction process from initial site preparation to final grading and restoration. Construction documents and contracts will include suitable language to prevent inadvertent disturbance or impacts to the Sensitive Resource Areas (Active/Historic Cemetery Sites). Construction contractors and personnel should be informed in writing and verbally that all fenced areas are a “no impact zone.” No construction, excavation, grading, filling, dumping, or storage of vehicles, equipment, or materials and supplies should occur within the fenced Sensitive Resource Areas (Active/Historic Cemetery Sites).

Post-Construction Protection, Inspection, and Reporting

MassDOT will indicate the location of the three cemetery lots including the historic Braley Cemetery on their “as-built” drawings of the New Bedford Main Line railroad line in Freetown. This is so that MBTA commuter rail operation and maintenance (O&M) personnel conducting future maintenance or construction activities in the areas on both sides of the track will be aware of the active/historic cemeteries in this area and appropriate precautions can be initiated. In addition to “SENSITIVE RESOURCE AREA ACTIVE/HISTORIC CEMETERY SITES,” language recommending “consultation with MBTA compliance personnel for further information” will be included.

Following the completion of the South Coast Rail Project Phase 1 construction work for the track structure improvements in the vicinity of the active/historic cemetery lots, the temporary orange construction fencing will be removed by the contractor and permanent security/safety fencing will be installed along the railroad ROW in accordance with MBTA ROW safety specifications. The permanent fencing locations will be depicted on the 90% and final design plans. The permanent

A00831 - 12 .1 Proposal No. 609200-106704 Addendum No. 3, March 19, 2019

fencing will be made of black rust-proof chain-link material or material of similar aesthetic appearance.

• Braley East cemetery lot (east side of the railroad ROW): the permanent fencing will extend from East Chipaway Road south to the Freetown-New Bedford town line. At the new box culvert (CV-FRN 12) the fence will tie into the wingwalls and railing. The fence will pass on top of the existing masonry wall to replace an existing wood post and rail fence placed in this area by the Freetown Cemetery Commission.

Because graves are known to extend to the interior side of the masonry wall, the new fence posts will be anchored to the top of the wall and not into the adjacent soils.

• Braley West cemetery lot (west side of the railroad ROW): the permanent fencing will extend from East Chipaway Road south to the Freetown-New Bedford town line, with a break along its alignment to avoid impacting existing wetlands. The wetlands will provide a natural barrier to the ROW and cemetery in lieu of a fence.

The permanent fencing will forestall any inadvertent or future use by MBTA personnel of lands associated with the cemetery lots adjacent to the railroad ROW for additional workspace, access routes, or other appurtenances and facilities. The permanent ROW fence will also discourage unauthorized pedestrian or vehicle crossing of the railroad tracks by local residents and town maintenance personnel, as agreed to by the Freetown Cemetery Commission.

MassDOT’s archaeological consultant will conduct a post-construction inspection of the permanent ROW fencing including photographic documentation of the railroad ROW track and culvert work areas along the historic Braley Cemetery and will provide that information in a letter report to the MassDOT and MHC once the Project has been completed.

_Lakeville BE7 L-01-018 L01018BE7DOTRRO 12/1/2011 REMARKS & PHOTOS The Bridge at MP 18.60 is a two-span continuous timber stringer over the Assonet River (Cedar Swamp) spanning approximately 10'-4" and 8'-5". Each group of stringers is spaced at 4'-11" on center and is made up of 4 timber stringers bolted together per group for a total of 8 stringers, which supports an open timber deck and carries a single track. The substructure consists of two timber abutments (timber cap/seat, backwall, and piles) and a timber bent pier (timber cap and piles). There is a 41" Catwalk along the East side of the bridge. The original date of construction was 1906, and the current bridge was partially reconstructed in 2011.

For this inspection the bridge orientation for the approaches and abutments are north and south. The timber stringers are numbered S1 through S8 from west to east.
