Women’s Benevolent Luncheon
Join us for lunch on February 2 at 11:45 am. Bring a salad or dessert and enjoy a fascinating talk by Betsy McKee entitltled "Here Lies Inter'd: An Introduction to New England Graveyards."
Betsy, a board member of both the Longmeadow Cemetery Association and the Longmeadow Historical Society, will discuss early New England cemeteries.
Al and Betsy McKee live in a house built in Longmeadow around 1801 by the gravestone carver Hermon Newell. Once they discovered that their house was built by a stonecutter, they began to learn more about early gravestones in the CT River Valley and early New England towns. This talk will cover gravestone photography, original appearance of graveyards, symbolism, carvers and stories carved in stone.
