When the cemetery opened in 1796, some families moved the tombstones of their loved ones from the Green to their new family plots. In 1821, the stones that still remained on the Green were carried to the new cemetery by Yale students. (Most of the bodies were left behind and are still buried in the Upper Green.) These stones, mostly from the eighteenth century, were lined up along the walls in the cemetery’s northwest corner. |
