Rev. Ebenezer Mead 1803-1848 Found

Life is full of discoveries. I found this gravestone under several inches of sod in the cemetery next to the Second Congregational Church in Greenwich. 

The toppled gravestone is for Rev. Ebenezer Mead. He was born in 1803 and died in 1848. The inscription states that he graduated from Yale in 1823 and Auburn Theological in 1827. 

He died quite young. Apparently he was a "circuit pastor" for eleven years in Western New York State.
