We would like to express our thanks to Joan Sudol who gave permission to use her
book Gone But Not Forgotten Epitaphs of New Fairfield Connecticut.
Copyright 1981.
Prepared for the Internet by Margaret Coletta, New Fairfield CT, 1997
The following record of epitaphs was carefully transcribed from physical inspection
of the five New Fairfield cemeteries. Most of the Partially illegible inscriptions
were filled in by previously published and private sources. Some tombstones which
were previously recorded are now missing altogether. This book is an attempt to help
reserve part of the history and people of New Fairfield so that they may be
"Gone but not forgotten".
