William was a very prominent person in Ft. Fairfield in mid 1800s. He was a lawyer, at one point its town clerk and possibly a State Senator. The book History of Maine vol. 4 says he died when his second child Granville Mellen was 2. That would make his death about 1864-65. .

I'm hoping to locate his burial site in hopes of finding out what happened to his wife Eunice Decker. Eunice is my GGGrandmother via her 2nd marriage to Joshua Ford. No one knows what happened to her. She died by 1880, some say 1870 others 1871. Joshua filed for divorce in Feb. 1872. Is their a particular cemetery the Hopkinson-Boynton family used? Neither are listed in the online cemetery databases. I find it hard to believe that no knows what happened to a person of such standing!
