Lower White Hills Cemetery

Shelton, Connecticut

Return to the main page.

Lower White Hills Cemetery is located on Maple Avenue in the White Hills section of Shelton, Connecticut. It was established in 1791. Many of the stones date from the 1800s, but there are also some more recent monuments; in fact, it appears as though the cemetery may still occasionally be in use. There are several stones with GAR markers (Grand Army of the Republic), and quite a few members of the Hubbell family are interred here.

Estimated number of interments, as of January 2024: at least 352.

Photos were taken 15 December 2008.

"Sarah Grace

Dearest Sarah thou hast left us,

Here thy loss we deeply feel.

But 'tis God that hath bereft(?) us.

He can all our sorrows heal.

Yet again we hope to meet thee.

When the day of life has fled.

There in Heaven with joy to greet thee.

Where no farewell tear is shed."
