18th Century Stone: R S

| Richard Shute (died 1704) This is the oldest tombstone in St. Paul's Cemetery. Shute was one of the founders of Eastchester in 1665. The early town meeting records are in his handwriting because he was town clerk for 38 years. When he died the town was still small enough so that he could be identified with only his initials. On his fieldstone (schist) stone the "D" stands for died or deceased. |
