About 1998 or so, the residents of 78 Leonard Bridge Rd, Lebanon, CT, were building a drive way to their new home, and discovered a headstone lying on its side beneath the surface. There is surely a grave underneath their present driveway. They placed the headstone beside the road and have maintained a flower bed around it. During the June 2011 Woodworth reunion in Griswold, CT, Woodworths visited this most unusual cemetery. |
