Whitman M. Sackett, son of John & Mary Sackett, died 1865. New Burial Grounds Association Cemetery, Greenwich

Some of the gravestones I surveyed featured epitaph inscriptions that were partially readable. One such example is this one for Whitman M. Sackett in the New Burial Grounds Association Cemetery. It is immediately located next to the Second Congregational Church in Greenwich.

Young Whitman was the son of John and Mary Sackett. Their home is on nearby Patterson Avenue, off North Maple Avenue.
