This just in from the Town Clerk ~ MYSTERY SOLVED!

We are happy to share that the location of the missing headstones has been discovered. A descendant of Samuel and Esther Benton has tepped forward and engage McCormick- Whitco Memorials of Groveton New Hampshire to restore them. We're grateful for the care and dedication being shown to preserve these important pieces of local history.

The Waterford Sexton is looking for information about two gravestones that have recently been taken from the Lower Waterford Cemetery. These stones represent Samuel S. Benton who passed in 1857 and his wife Esther who passed in 1860.

If anyone has seen anything unusual or has information that could help, please reach out to the Town Clerk by phone or email. Even the smallest detail could make a difference.

We ask our community to keep an eye out and help us protect this important space. Let’s work together to ensure the cemetery remains a place of dignity and remembrance for all.
