"Our Mother and Home"
This is a poem written by Rev. Frederick Denison for his mother, Levina Fish Denison's 75th birthday on October 1, 1869.
Levina FISH Denison
As Levina FISH Denison was still alive when the camera was invented, there are photographs of her. The Denison Society was kind enough to scan this for me and allow me to post it with her gravestone photo.
Levina was a very strong presence in her family and in the community. She was widely known for her Thanksgiving feasts. Her son Rev. Frederick Denison, a minister, writer and family historian, wrote poems about her.

Denison Stone
This is the front of the Denison stone. As you can see the top of the stone shades the top inscriptions.
The front is easier to read. The sides and back of the stone seem not to be polished the same way and the names and dates carved there are harder to read.
My grandmother, Hannah Josephine BARBER, wife of Evans STEWART chose not to have her name carved on the back of this monument but did have her husband [Evans], her son, [Evans Jr.] and her brother-in-law [Dudley Wheeler Stewart] on the back.
Denison Plot
This is the first in a series of photographs taken of the largest memorial stone in the Denison section of Elm Grove Cemetery. As it displays the dates of birth and death for many Denisons, I will be posting each side enough times to view all of the names.
Many of the names on this stone also have a separate gravestone marking the spot where they are buried.

Ebenezer DENISON's Children
This is a shot of the section of the Elm Grove Cemetery [Denison section] where there are several children of Ebenezer DENISON buried. In a section like this it is imprortant to identify which child was from which wife of Ebenezer so you must examine all sides of the gravestones to be sure. I have photographed the back and the front of the stones and posted them here.
Some of these graves are of little children and some are of his unmarried children who lived to adulthood.
