In Milton, within the Milton Cemetery, is this obelisk for the Bunton family.
Milton Cemetery is located off Centre Street. The side (west) entrance (open at the time of visit) is located 100 ft east of the intersection of Centre and Randolph Avenue. From the entrance, go up Willow Avenue to the intersection with Fir Avenue. Turn left onto Fir Avenue and proceed about 80 ft to the obelisk on the right.
The obelisk is a grey granite monument. It stands about 15 ft tall. The square base has a smaller square section on it, with the word, "BUNTON" on it, then a smaller square section above that. The next section is a little wider, with triangular features. Above that the section generally tapers to a pyramid point.
I could not find anything more about the family here. The family name is not listed on Findagrave.com.
