The Indians wounded Solyman, his brother, in the right arm and across the abdomen. They intended to scalp Ira, but were prevented by his brother throwing rocks at them with his left hand until the pursuing men came to his rescue. Ira Merrill was the first person buried in the Smithfield Cemetery. Digging the grave for Ira Merrill&amp;mdash;four men were required, two to stand guard while the others worked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</line></content></metadataxml>
