Relic of long dead past surfaces Workers find gravestone beneath library front lawn
Workers unexpectedly unearthed an old gravestone while digging a power line trench on the front lawn of the Silas Bronson Library on Friday.
The noontime discovery of a broken gravestone about seven inches below the frozen grass led to the suspension of the excavation work that was being done by Stone Construction Inc. of Southbury.
“We dug it up in a big hunk of frozen soil,” said Jared Isbell, who is a excavation laborer for Stone. “The library director had warned us to look out for this kind of thing, but still, it was pretty weird.”
