Gates Cemetery Restoration

Some of the other Headstones Preserved


The headstone of Dr. Ezra Butterfield has been reset next to that of Rev. Hugh Wallis. The three fragments of Nabby Wallis' headstone have been rejoined and laid flat on a concrete slab for preservation.


The Hinchey children's headstones are preserved on a concrete slab also. These stones were damaged too severely to be reset. As a rule, carvings and/or inscriptions are preserved as much as possible.


Huldah Shepherd's simple epitaph may serve as a motto for the preservation project.

"gone but not forgotten..."


The Boy Scouts from Troop 94, Gates, raise the flag on the new flagpole at the rededication ceremony Veteran's Day, 1998.
