Fountainebleau Inn is just north of the Cemetery and this
was the home of the Lawrence’s. In the basement is one gravestone cemented
in the floor. This reads as follows.
“Anna wife
of ------- d.3-3-1826 age 43”
The line that gave the name of her husband was chisled out and unreadable.
One story about that is that she was an Indian and was buried in the Lawrence
Cemetery and some member of the family didn’t want people to know about
her since she was Indian. The other story is simply that the stone came
from the Connecticut Hill Cemetery.
