Middletown's Elizabeth Colt in Cedar Hill Cemetery!

A close friend of Elizabeth, James G. Batterson, co-owner of New England Granite Works in Hartford, played a key role in the establishment of Cedar Hill. He introduced the cemetery to Elizabeth Colt, who commissioned him to erect the first major monument at Cedar Hill. Director Beverly Lucas, gave a tour highlighting the many monuments attributed to Batterson’s prolific company including the Colt and Jarvis family’s plot.
