 The preservation of our local history relies on local volunteers. The two young men pictured here spent some time at the Ganyard Hill Cemetery to place the recently aquired tombstone on the grave of one of Bristol's Revolutionary War veteran's buried there. The two volunteers for this project were Shane Herrgessell and Mike Miller. They also cleared the site and set up tombstones that had fallen over. The town of Bristol is grateful for their efforts
The U.S. Veteran's Service Agency assisted in the aquisition of the headstone and it was stored over the winter until the ground conditions were suitable for the completion of this project. The grave is that of a Revolutionary War veteran who was buried in the Ganyard Hill Cemetery in 1814. The stone replaces the original which had fallen into disrepair. A committee was formed, led by our local Town Historian, Helen Fox to aquire the stone. The project has now reached completion, thanks to these two young men, and the Town of Bristol thanks all who were involved. |

Location: Partly on a high knoll and partly on the low land beside the Egypt Hollow road, this cemetery is completely abandoned. The lane is now owned (1941) by summer cottagers. The town does not care for it. The only access is by a steep path to the top of the knoll. On land formerly owned by Elizabeth Doyle.
