DAVIS-CATE
CEMETERY
Presented by
John A. Cate
1953
Like many New England cemeteries, there is a "Baby Garden" in this burial ground. It is to the far left of the entrance gate, next to the stone wall. Small children were buried here, and there are only three tombstones, although I suspect that there were many more burials. The little gravestone of Craigh Otterson is especially poignant with the headless lamb carved on top. Little lambs were often carved on the top of tombstones for young children and infants.
