The Town of Hebron 2014 Plan of Conservation and Development Acknowledgements Acknowledgements Town of Hebron, Connecticut — Plan of Conservation and Development The update of the Plan of Conservation and Development has been an ongoing deliberative process of the Planning and Zoning Commission for the past three years. Countless extra meetings, workshop sessions, informational meetings, presentations to other boards and commissions, and a final public hearing have resulted in a Plan in which the Town can take an enormous amount of pride. The Plan is designed to be a working tool for those who will use it – the Town boards and commissions that establish Town land-use policies and procedures. Our purpose is to provide both a vision and a pragmatic road map that will be used on an ongoing basis to guide the future of our town. The Planning and Zoning Commission is grateful to the many Town Boards and Commissions, members of the public, and the Town of Hebron staff members who attended meetings, offered support, ideas, suggestions and encouragement during the development of this document. The Commission wants to recognize the help and support of Hebron’s Board of Selectmen and its Town Manager, Andrew J. Tierney. Without all these parties’ collective input, this Plan would not be as useful or complete. While many present and past members of the Planning & Zoning Commission have contributed significantly to the completion of the Plan of Conservation, a special appreciation goes to two members, Natalie Wood and Frank Zitkus. They brought extraordinary dedication and commitment to this project, giving hundreds of hours of their time to research, review, and edit the many sections needed to turn this document into reality. Finally, the Commission recognizes the invaluable leadership provided by Hebron’s Town Planner, Mike O’Leary, who crafted the Commission’s vision into a coherent and cogent document. In short, the Commission could not have completed the Plan without him. In addition, the Town wishes to acknowledge the contributions of our Town Engineering consultant, Thomas Fenton, P.E., of Nathan L. Jacobson and Associates for his expertise in contributing to the stormwater management and town roadways section of this Plan. Also, the efforts of David Campbell, of Nathan L. Jacobson and Associates, are greatly appreciated. His skills in Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping are clearly evident in the maps contained in this document. i The current members of the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town staff: Planning and Zoning Commission Natalie Wood, Chairman Judith Podell, Vice Chairman Frank Zitkus, Secretary Lewis Hinman, Member Devon Garner, Member Rich Marzi, Alternate Member Eric Brancard, Alternate Member Commission Staff Michael K.

The total project area available for archaeological investigations encompassed approximately 836 ha (2,066 ac). The literature review concentrated on a 6.5-kmn (4 mi) study radius around the USDOE PORTS facility and indicated that no prehistoric sites had been documented within the USDOE PORTS facility boundary, although the potential for encountering sites was evaluated to be high.

  • Hebron Cemeteries
    The Cemeteries of Hebron, Connecticut: Their Historic Monuments, Stone Carvers and Care William Rollo, 1732 (Old Hebron Cemetery) A Workshop by Ruth Shapleigh-Brown Director, Connecticut Gravestone Network October 27, 2013 Program Co-Sponsored by The Hebron Historic Properties Commission & The Hebron Historical Society Introduction The Town of Hebron has eleven historic cemeteries within its borders. The Old Hebron Cemetery dates back to the 1730’s, with the Anglican Cemetery on Godfrey Hill and Gilead Cemetery close behind; 1740’s and 1750’s, respectively. Two of the cemeteries, Rollo and Stark, have but one grave apiece, but the largest, St. Peters, has over 1,300 interments with at least 450 of them from the 19th century. The 18th century gravestones were carved by hand. Hebron has a variety of these old stone carvers’ work represented. Some stones were simple, others more elaborate, but all interesting. Much information can be gleaned from the monuments to our long deceased forebears. Enjoy the creative spellings, the script with abbreviations, and the epitaphs. You can learn a lot about the lives lived by our early colonists. Ruth Shapleigh-Brown, Director of the Connecticut Gravestone Network, has provided much information about our early stone carvers, as well as how to identify each. Almost more important than the background on the stone carvers are her directions on how to properly clean the stones without damaging them. She also gives hints for easier reading and photographing of nearly illegible stones. Her key thought, however, is to PLEASE RESPECT our cemeteries and gravestones! Feel free to visit our cemeteries, study and photograph our stones, and ponder the lives of the individuals memorialized on these stones.

  • Pettis County, Missouri, Cemeteries
    Pettis County, Missouri, Cemeteries This file was begun on 1 December 2004. Updates from the Sedalia Democrat are included from those available on that date to the present. The impetus for putting this together is to demonstrate the entirety of information available on Pettis County burial grounds. Sources are available at libraries throughout Missouri, including the Kathryn Linneman Branch of the St. Charles City-County Library District, the Headquarters Branch of the St. Louis County Library, the Central Branch of the St. Louis Public Library, the Missouri Historical Society Library in St. Louis, the State Historical Society of Missouri Library (located in Ellis Library at the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO), the Sedalia Public Library, the Boonslick Regional Library in Sedalia, and the Mid- Continent Public Library in Independence, MO. I have added Genevieve Carter’s data, which has been supplied online by Laura Paxton. In addition to this, there are other transcriptions. Elizabeth Prather Ellsberry produced a limited transcription of Pettis County cemeteries (she included Longwood Cemetery amongst her Saline County listings). The Osage Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution produced the most detailed listings in a series of five “Rural Cemeteries of Pettis County” volumes, containing information compiled between 1955 and 1970. Some of this predates Carter’s work, but most of it post-dates it. The DAR included several of Carter’s transcriptions in volumes 2 and 3, but the majority of transcriptions in the collection were not performed by Genevieve (“Mrs. J. R.” or “Mrs. Ray”) Carter. This material seems to suggest that the three-volume set of Tombstones of Pettis County by Mrs.
