Between the Paths ? Row 1 | Old Burial Hill

Between the Paths Row 1

The central section on the front side of the hill is an area that lays between the path from Orne Street and the path from Pond Street. It contains about 250 headstones arranged in almost 30 somewhat irregular rows.

Nicholas Tucker (1717)

At the beginning of the first row is the headstone of Nicholas Tucker, noteworthy for its ornamentation.

Hannah Doak (1775)

Many headstones have masterfully inscribed lettering. A careful examination of the Hannah Doak stone reveals guidelines carved by the stonecutter. The small stone to the left and behind the Hannah Doak headstone is the footstone for Elizabeth Parker.

Mrs Hannah Doak,
Wife of
Mr James Doak
died Novr 4th 1775
