Latimer Hill Gravestone Inscriptions

Lots 12, 29, 35, 37, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46 and 48

NOT COMPLETELY LOST, JUST UNKNOWN

Lots 12, 29, 35, 37, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46 and 48 appear to be vacant.  Trees and shrubs occupy some of the lots. Lots 41, 42, 45 and 46 are used as a vehicle turn-around, the only place in the cemetery wide enough to do so.

The Hale Headstone Collection lists the following three stones as being in the cemetery in 1934:

    "Hills, Emmagene S., daughter of Addison M. and Mary M.,
    Died June 21, 1856, Age 2 months, 5 days."
    (This may be the stone that is listed as broken on Lot 2.)

    "-------Annie E. Smith-------"
    (This stone may have been on Lot 33.)

    "Tuttle, Infant daughter of Elain and Betsy,
    Died December 30, 1844, Age 8 weeks."
    (It is not known where this stone was.)

We may not know just where some individuals were buried, nor the names of some people who were buried without gravestones or markers, but we do know that they were loved by families And are not lost in the sight of God.
