PHOTOS: Original Patriots Remembered
Dressed in period outfits, the Danvers Alarm List visited eight burial sites of Revolutionary War dead in Beverly, Danvers and Peabody in a five-hour period before ending their day with a pizza dinner.
The professional re-enactors of the Danvers Alarm List joined local officials, veterans and historians Monday to visit eight burial sites in Beverly, Danvers and Peabody to commemorate those original patriots who gave their lives on April 19, 1775 and over the next eight years during America's War for Independence.
In Peabody, two brief ceremonies were held at the Jacobs Family Cemetery (the resting place of Minuteman Henry Jacobs) and the Old South Cemetery (where Samuel Cook, Jr., George Southwick, Jr., Benjamin Deland, Jr. and Ebenezer Goldthwaite are buried) before a longer program at the Battle of Lexington Monument on Washington Street and a final ceremony up at the head of the where a Revolutionary War memorial lists the names of all of Peabody's soldiers.
