In the old cemetery at Farmington, a few years since, the tombstone of John
Lee, was brought to light. It is a coarse, unhewn slab, some two feet in heighth
and eighteen inches wide; the inscription must have been broken out of the stone
by a dull tool, driven lengthwise, leaving the letters jagged. William H. Lee,
of New York City, with a generosity worthy the name he bears, has had erected
in its place a beautiful monument, "executed in Glasgow, Scotland; it is
of dark gray Scotch granite, highly polished, standing seventeen feet high upon
a base four feet square. The inscription on the old stone has been carefully
reproduced on one side of the monument. The name, John Lee, in large block letters
on the base is surmounted by the die, upon which are the inscriptions, and above
which is the main shaft, of obelisk proportions." John Lee and Mary Hart
were married in 1658.743,747,1335,1350,1352,1821,1824,2121,2123
