The Historical Society of Cheshire County is rededicating a gravestone today of a 9-year-old girl who died in 1761 after it was found years later at a home near a cemetery in Keene.
Betty Clark was buried at the Ash Swamp Cemetery. Her stone was removed more than 130 years ago and found supporting the steps of a home while the owner was doing repairs.
Her burial stone is now adjacent to the slate stone of her father, Simeon Clark, according to the Historical Society.
