Within the Benton Avenue Cemetery are several small zinc headstones. These zinc headstone are quite small about 18 to 24 inches in height and about 12 to 15 inches in width. All are mounted on a two tier concrete base. Considering all of these zinc headstones were placed round 1880, approximately 140 years ago, they are still in very nice condition.
One of these zinc headstones is for John S. Harrington, birth date is unknown, most likely around 1846.
