On the stretch of road inside the Marshfield
Hills Cemetery that runs adjacent to Old Main Street Extension is one stone on
which John Elias Cholakis, Elizabeth Fraser Cholakis and a third Sanford Fraser
are listed. Who are these people and what was the role in the history of
Marshfield? Seeing a flag in front, one
can only surmise that at least one of them was a veteran. In
checking the US Public Record index, I found Sanford Fraser. He was born on eighth of December 1932. In
1987 he resided at 11 Jones Street in New
York, New York. I did find a John H
Fraser living at 624 Webster Street in Marshfield in 1933.
Social
security death records indicate that John Elias Cholakis was born on the
thirteenth of August, 1925. He died in
Queens, New York on the twenty-seventh of November 1998. He was the son of Elias J and Despina
(Metropole) Cholakis. Both his parents were born in Greece. In 1930, his father is living in a duplex with
two of his children, Ellen and John, at 188 Seaside Avenue in Queens, New
York. The other part of the duplex was
occupied by his in-laws, the Metropoles. Perhaps his wife Despina died in
childbirth. Still no clue how they came
to be buried in Marshfield, Massachusetts.
What was the connection?
