Old Tariffville Cemetery

In a quiet corner of St. Bernard's Catholic Cemetery in Tariffville, CT is the Old Tariffville Cemetary. Some state records refer to it as the Non-Sectarian Cemetery.

The graves of Robert and Delila Holmes can be found here. Buried with them is:

• Robert Holmes Jr. (their son)
• Eliza Holmes (wife of Robert Jr.)
• Robert and Cyrus Holmes (sons of Robert Jr.)
• Mary Holmes (wife of William)
• Marthy Holmes (relationship unknown)

The inscription on Delila's headstone reads: "We lay our bodies down to sleep. Peace is the pillow for our heads, while well appointed angels keep their watchful stations round our bed."
