“A Snowy Monday, The Cooperage, Hancock, New Hampshire,’’ by Lilla Cabot Perry
In the Hancock, New Hampshire, historical society…is the town coffin, once used to bury the poor. {Thrifty Yankees, using the same coffin, and thriftier still — for years it was used as a chicken feeder on a farm.)
— Howard Mansfield (born 1957) historian, from In the Memory House. He lives in Hancock.
