Baptist Cemetery

Baptist Cemetery is located on Route 39, about 3 miles north of I-84, at the intersection of King Street. It sits on a small bluff, next to the former site of the first Baptist Church in Danbury. The cemetery is neat and well maintained by a group of volunteers. There are few damaged stones here. There are also a fair number of fieldstone markers.

There are 152 gravesites that have been identified. In this transcription, the following codes have been used in the last column:

I = The stone inscription is not legible to the naked eye. Inscriptions were verified using one of several enhancing techniques.
M = The stone existed in 1934, at the time of the Hale Collection readings, but cannot be located at this time.
B = The stone is broken into two or more fragments. All fragments may not be present in the cemetery.
T = The stone has toppled over and is lying on the ground. It may or may not be in multiple fragments.
