Westfield Cemetery, located in the Danielson borough of Killingly, Connecticut, is a historic burial ground established in 1720. Spanning 10 acres, the cemetery features a traditional layout with graves arranged in neat rows, reflecting the burial practices of the 18th and early 19th centuries. With over 450 graves, primarily dating back to the 19th century, Westfield Cemetery offers a glimpse into the region's rich history and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Founded by James Daniels, the village of Danielson owes its origins to the settlement of Killingly in 1707. The cemetery, which has been in continuous use until the early 20th century, showcases a mix of 18th-century slate stones adorned with cherubs and winged soul effigies, as well as 19th-century monuments crafted from granite and marble. Notable among the family plots is the Atwood monument in the northeast quadrant, featuring a striking Classical statue and drapery. While most burials now take place in the modern southern parcel, the old section of Westfield Cemetery remains a cherished resting place for families and a testament to the area's past.Generated from the website
