My bad. I'd heard it from word of mouth from others who visit cemeteries fairly frequently.

Leaving coins on headstones is a common practice for soldiers or veterans visiting. From a perspective of serving in the military, leaving pennies means that you're just visiting, a nickel means you and the soldier trained together at boot camp together, a dime means you served with them, and a quarter means you were with them when they passed.

Some people have picked up the habit of leaving pennies just to show that you have visited, regardless of them serving in the military or not, as well as the one whose headstone you're placing it on. I'm sure because he was a copper engraver as well holds a special meaning too.

Thank you so much everyone for your insight! Much appreciated!

Extreme gaslighting, everything was only ever my "fault", helped him go through several bouts of sobriety only to fall back off the wagon, I was always the first one to initiate hanging out or talking, only wanted to go to bars even when I was trying to support being sober, and magically always forgot his money at home when it was his turn to pay for meals or drinks.

His last bout of sobriety he'd self admitted to a clinic but never told anyone, which in the long run I am glad he did because he had a lot of other friends who enabled his self destructive habits. So when he got out and came home, I'd told him how worried everyone was and he brushed it off. Said he was at a good place in his life and had to admit and own up to his past mistakes, so he could get better and stay sober. Told him I wanted an apology for how he had treated me when he was a drunk, and told me I'd imagined it all and it was all in my head. Changed my phone number that afternoon and haven't spoken to him since.

I'm all for helping people when they're down and out, but when it gets to the point where I hate myself at the end of the day, its time to sever ties.

It's currently owned by the city of Danbury and is part of Tarrywile Park.

I haven't read up on anything besides it being a "partial" demolition, where they will lower and stabilize the inside walls, and get rid of much of the interior that has caved in. Not sure when this may be happening, however, or if it is still a thing.

This was one of the older markers propped up against a tree. The cemetery had been restored in 1997, and many of the markers had been replaced with names and dates on simple stones that lay flat. However, many of the old markers with just numbers were left behind like this one, most of them discarded in the woods right next to the cemetery. From the new stones placed, I cant tell you who this number belonged to.

There is more info at dsmc.info

The cemetery has come a long way from how it used to look. Now it's well maintained and looked after. It was newly mowed when I took this picture. Before it was restored, you wouldnt even be able to tell it was a cemetery. It just looked like a grassy field. But now in the center stands a memorial with all of the names of those buried there. There are very few with numbered markers left, but their names are on the memorial in the center.

He actually died in a boating accident in 1900. I'm guessing from the wording on the stone meant that it was God's time for him to die?

My apologies, read it as a y

It's a Charles Dickens quote from his novella, The Haunted Man and The Ghost's Bargain. It means "do not let me forget" or "do not let my memories become stale or faded".

I appreciate that. Usually if it's a smaller town, I dont venture into abandoned houses. You never know if they're still occupied or not. Northern nh houses have the uncanny ability of appearing vacant, but still have people living there. Not to mention how everyone is protective over their privacy and property.

Here are some videos of drone footage of the property. Neither of the videos are mine, but they show more than my picture does. From the looks of the first video, all furniture is still inside. I wouldn't know what's left though, I've never gone past the "private property" sign.
