Daniel S. Mead House, Greenwich Avenue

This is the Daniel S. Mead House. It was located on the east side of Greenwich Avenue in the area where Richard's Store is today. (Photo credit: Greenwich Historical Society).

We are assuming that the picture above includes Daniel S. Mead and his wife, Huldah, who died in 1882. 

Their shared gravestone is located on the north side of the New Burial Grounds Association Cemetery next to the Second Congregational Church. 

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.

From Spencer P. Mead's Abstracts of Records and Tombstones of the Town of Greenwich, 1913. Note that the Mead names included here. The cemetery referred to here is known as the Ferris Farm Cemetery, located at the intersection of Taconic and Hunting Ridge roads, Greenwich. The Mead gravestones and graves were apparently removed to the family plot after April, 1908.
