Jane E. DENISON, unmarried daughter of Ebenezer DENISON and his wife Mary Niles HAZARD born 19 Aug 1835 and died 25 Nov 1862. She was the second child, first daughter born to this couple.

"Jane E. Denison/Child/of Loveliness/Child too of God/He spared/ her to us some twenty-seven/sweet years:/Then took her to Himself/ Nov. 25, 1862"

The 1860 Federal Census says she was a teacher. In those days, teachers could not be married.

Her stone is next to her brother. Some visitors may think this is a husband and wife because of the placement of the stones.
