In April 1816, David Gabel was laid to rest in the Saint John Burial ground alongside fellow loyalist refugees who had made the New Brunswick city their home. The baker's tombstone noted that Gabel had died at 83 years of age and had been born in Frankfort, Germany. Seventy years later, vandals attacked graves near the cemetery's fountain, carrying Gabel's tombstone away from his resting place and throwing it on the ground. Seventy more years passed. Twentieth century visitors who walked by the Loyalist Burial Ground's fountain just might happen to see a twenty inch fragment of stone jutting out of the ground that bore the weathered lettering "Dav…..bel Sen".
