Anyone in Middletown, Conn. available to take picture of Charles Brighton and wife Pauline Brighton's headstone in Indian Hill cemetery? They died in 1924, and there is no family left in area. I can send pictures from Calverton National Cemetery on Long Island.

A project conducted under the WPA umbrella went to all known cemeteries in CT to record cemetery inscriptions. Ancestry has the information known as the Hale Cemetery Inscriptions & Newspaper Notices 1629-1924 in the CT Collection under Deaths & Burials. For whatever reason, the search screen does not return Charles B Brighton nor Mrs. Charles B Brighton. But I did a manual search - Vol #27 image 321 of the 434 images in Vol#27 has Charles B Brighton & Mrs. Charles B Brighton. They are interred in Section 13 of Indian Hill Cemetery in Middletown.

I noticed that all the names for Section 13 have no dates associated with the entries.- I wonder if there is a particular reason for that situation. Either you or I can contact them to see whether stones were laid in Section 13.

Let me know if you want me to contact them.
