Reference excerpt

Rural Glen Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Worcester Road (Massachusetts Route 68) in Hubbardston, Massachusetts. Established about 1820, it is at 3.5 acres (1.4 ha) one of the town's largest cemeteries. It was created on land formerly owned by the locally prominent Reed/Reid family, and includes the burials of some of the town's notable 19th and 20th-century residents. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. It is presently restricted to burials related to existing interments.

Description and history Hubbardston's Rural Glen Cemetery is located about one mile (1.6 km) south of the town center, on the west side of Worcester Road south of its junction with Old Princeton Road. It is bounded on the north and south by two other municipal cemeteries, Brookside and Evergreen cemeteries; all are identified by signage, and Rural Glen Cemetery is further differentiated from its neighbors by a picket fence along the road. It is predominantly a level grassy expanse, with trees at the fringes. The rear of the cemetery is bounded by the Ware River. Near its center is a 40-foot (12 m) flagpole flying the American flag. The oldest burial in the cemetery is dated 1820, and is of a five-year-old child. The cemetery was formally established by a sale of land in 1875 by members of the Reed family, who have a raised and fenced plot in the south rear of the cemetery. Among the Reed family burials is that of Colonel Micajah Reed, a state representative in 1839–40. Members of the Wheeler family, whose ancestors were prominent in the town's early history, are also interred here. Among them are several generations of owners of Wheeler's store, a fixture in the town center for more than a century. The town took over management of the cemetery from a private association sometime after 1978.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rural Glen Cemetery

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rural Glen Cemetery claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rural Glen Cemetery before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rural Glen Cemetery ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rural Glen Cemetery

In research: Rural Glen Cemetery appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rural Glen Cemetery in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rural Glen Cemetery is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1820 establishments in Massachusetts, Buildings and structures completed in 1820, Cemeteries established in the 1820s, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rural Glen Cemetery outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
