A small sign hidden among the leaves says this is Eastgate Cemetery. It is named for Hezekiah Eastgate who is buried here. Just a few feet away from Hezekiah's stone is a monument erected by another Hezekiah, the first Hezekiah's nephew, Hezekiah Roach. Hezekiah Roach is the more prominent of the two since he eventually became the Reeve of Uxbridge Township.
If you try to read the information on the monument you will notice that 3 of Hezekiah's children died within 2 days of each other. The story goes that they died from black diptheria, and since everyone in those days was very much afraid of black diptheria, Hezekiah had to go to the cemetery after dark and bury his children by himself.</.
And the story didn't end there. They say that when Hezekiah "got a little money" he bought a plot in the big Uxbridge Cemetery and "dug up what he could find" and moved his family's remains to the new location. There is a monument in Uxbridge Cemetery displaying the very same information.
