Feb. 26th, 2004 12:35 pmPoet's Missing Cemetary Gate Found
An ornate wrought-iron gate that guarded the New England cemetery plot of 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson has been found at an antique shop after being missing for two decades, a descendant said on Wednesday.
[...] A local cemetery expert recognized the gate and notified police in Vermont, who contacted officials in Amherst. The police removed the gate from the antique shop and locked it up in their station, Magovern said.
After the original gate disappeared, it was replaced by a replica that still stands.
