Eagle Scout Fixes Up Historic Cemetery

Tom Coyle has helped restore a piece of New City history.

Coyle, 18, who has completed his journey to become an Eagle Scout, renovated the historic Wood-Blauvelt-Stevens Cementery on Congers Lake Road in New City, just opposite Clarkstown Town Hall, for his Eagle Project.

A ceremony on Saturday, April 24, at Street Community Center in New City honored Coyle, along with his parents, Gordeon and Karen, for his reaching the Eagle Scout rank - the highest achievement for a Boy Scout.

Coyle is a student at Clarkstown North High School in New City.
