Molly Ockett gravestone

Baptized by the French as "Marie Agathe"—a name that became "Mali Agit" when pronounced with difficulty by the Abenaki—Molly Ockett (the English version) is a legendary figure in Bethel's past. Though she died at Andover, Maine, in 1816, it was not until July 4, 1867, that a marker was placed over her grave. The dedication ceremony was highlighted by an address by Dr. Nathaniel Tuckerman True of Bethel, and a musical performance by the Bethel Brass Band.
