On June 20, 1992, the citizens of Gilmanton com-
memorated the return of eleven original headstones to the
Copp Cemetery. The stones, being lost from the Cemetery
many years ago, were returned by Old Sturbridge Village
where they had been recently located.
The historyofeach stone as well as its proper location
was researched and identified. The stones were repaired
and erected at their original sites.
A
portion of Gilmanton's history was reclaimed and
preserved for our future.

Gilmanton Annual Report for 1992
The 1992 Town Report is dedicated to A. Richard Price in appreciation of
his 49 years of service to the Town of Gilmanton and the State of New
Hampshire in his Role as Town Forest Fire Warden. In 1943 Richard Price
was appointed by the State of New Hampshire to be Gilmanton's Forest
Fire Warden, a position previously held by Arthur Durgin. During the
course of his nearly half century of service Richard Price was responsible
for the issuance ofFire Permits to residents ofthe community as well as the
forest fire suppression effort. Many residents of Gilmanton have had the
opportunity to serve under the leadership of Richard Price during this
period. In addition to his Forest Fire Warden appointment, Richard Price
also served the community as Fire Chief of the Gilmanton Hills Fire
Department during the 1950's.
A. Richard Price is atrue exampleofthe volunteer spirit common to New
Hampshire. His no nonsense approach to accomplishing the task at hand
has proven over the years to be effective and respected by our community.
We the citizens of the Town of Gilmanton, extend to you our appreciation
and thanks for a job well done.
