Plaque at Bell Rock Cemetery (Sandy Bank)

At the entrance to the Common Burying Ground at Sandy Bank (officially known as Bell Rock Cemetery), a granite boulder with a bronze plaque commemorates the forty soldiers from Malden who served in the Revolutionary War and are buried within.

Erected by the Mystic Side Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1930, the top of the plaque reads:

BELL ROCK CEMETERY
[SANDY BANK]
HERE ARE BURIED MEN OF MALDEN
WHO SERVED DURING THE
1775 REVOLUTIONARY WAR 1783

Forty names, each with a corresponding date of death, are listed below this introduction. The DAR seal and the following inscription appear at the bottom of the plaque:

DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
