Lothrop Hill Cemetery memorial to Rev. John Lothrop.

He was a gentle, kindly man and was beloved by all who knew him. 

Found in the front of the cemetery, outside the stone wall, is this memorial to Rev. John Lothrop of Barnstable. This type of monument often explains the name of the cemetery and tells us who he was.
It is good that this type of bronze plaque is encased firmly in cement to deter vandals for stealing it. Placed here in 1939
