This little cemetery is next to the St Patrick Church in East Hampton. My uncle and aunt, Jack and Ruby, are buried here; one tragic after another. Jack was Major in the Nathan Hale Fife and Drums. Aunt Ruby's funeral procession walked from the church to the cemetery with the entire fife and drum company playing. It was a very moving ceremony. At Uncle Jack's funeral his mace was put to rest along with the interment of his body. I will always remember the drums beating. They are buried here together.
