The Trustees of the Presbyterian Church of Bridgeport arranged to give a public supper at O’ Donnell’s Hall in Bridgeport on the evening of Thursday January 23, 1880. Admission would be as follows: Gentlemen 50 cents and Ladies 25 cents.  The net proceeds of the entertainment was to be applied to fencing the new cemetery.  


The gate to the Shiloh cemetery, then to become known as the Bridgeport City cemetery, is no longer there.
