1st Presbyterian Church Cemetery

In Memory of
Ephraim son of
Billy & Rhoda
Trowbridge who
departed this life
May 8, 1791 in
the 14 year of
his age

I found an interment list online. It shows his death as Mar but you can clearly see May on the stone.

Many old stones in this cemetery.

The January 2011 Graveyard Rabbit carnival topic is: How long have they been there: the oldest tombstone in my collection.

Here are three I found on my cemetery walk in the Old Dutch Burying Ground of  Sleepy Hollow in New York.
