NEW HARTFORD — More than eight years after being damaged in the tornado that devastated southern Butler County, one of the oldest graves in New Hartford’s Oak Hill Cemetery has the honor it deserves.
Ellie Senne, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) Candle-Stick Chapter based out of Hampton made that so, with her project culminated Friday with the dedication of a repaired headstone marker for the daughter of a Revolutionary War soldier, Susanna Ensign.
“As a Daughter of the American Revolution member of this society, we try to honor all our patriots and their families,” Senne said. “Hearing about this from her great-great-great niece Karen Wilson, I felt I should go to the end of the road to honor this woman who was here and whose family was so much of this community.”
