Protester, patriot honored in ceremony

HAVERHILL—For the sake of history, a crowd of about 35 people gathered at Horse Meadow Cemetery on Saturday afternoon.
Next year is the Boston Tea Party’s 250th anniversary.
To honor the participants in that historical protest of Dec. 16, 1773, the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum is installing commemorative markers at the graves of those who are known to have participated.
Ebenezer Mackintosh’s grave now has one of those markers. Some of the other patriots’ graves are in Maine and Massachusetts.
