Description
A granite plaque on a crumbling brick wall remembers patients buried at the Northern State Hospital cemetery. The plaque, obscured by graffiti, reads, "In respectful memory of the 1,487 Northern State Hospital patients interred in these grounds. May they now rest in peace with dignity. 1913 - 1972". Because records were lost, the only grave markers visible are a handful of five inch square stones, lying flat and overgrown by grass, and inscribed with a number and two letters. March, 2021.
