He & his wife are the only marked burials in this small lot.
Joshua Anthony, the youngest son of Gideon and Elizabeth (Coggeshall) Anthony, and brother of Philip, was born Jan. 4, 1798 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and received a common school education. He grew up on a farm, and worked from early youth at farming, in time owning and operating fifty-eight acres in Middletown on the East Main road, near the home of his brother Philip. There he built a fine frame dwelling-house in 1851, and there he spent his active life, dying Jan. 4, 1877, from the effects of an injury to his hip from which he suffered ten years. He was buried in the old family burying-ground on the farm. He was independent in political views, and was no office seeker. Honest to the core, devoted to his home and family, he lived an honorable, upright life.
Mr. Anthony married Abbie Anthony, daughter of Abraham and Mary (Brown) Anthony and granddaughter of Daniel Anthony. They had children as follows: Mary, who still lives in Middletown, aged over eighty-five years; Abraham; William Henry, who died Jan. 4, 1905, in Middletown, and is buried in St. Mary's Church cemetery; and Ann Elizabeth, who married Samuel Corey, and died in Portsmouth.
