The last few times I visited the cemetery, the gravestone of Benjamin Dutcher was illegible. Yesterday, however, the light was just right, and I was able to read his stone. You can see the old iron-wrought gate to the cemetery in the background of this photo.
This stone, commemorating the two children of William and Elizabeth Brown, was also perfectly lit, revealing the beautiful rose bush at the top.
Urn and willows are usually difficult to see. Most of them date to the 1830s-1850s, and were produced in marble. Both of these factors make for very poor preservation. But yesterday the stone of Ann Eliza Sarles looked great.
Though I had photographed the stone of Hannah Searles Wright before, I had never noticed the little rivulets around her name.
Lastly, here's the grave of Parthenia Sarles, newly reset by the boy scouts.
