That time it was part of a joint project between Waterford and E. St. Johnsbury to replace the grave marker for Submit Adams, said to be the first woman to set up housekeeping in St. Johnsbury. Members of the group involved at that time included Waterford historian Eugenia Powers along with Rev. Scudder Parker, Edward Lee, and Rolfe Schoppe of E. St. Johnsbury. A picture of the four individuals involved in that re-dedication ceremony appeared in the July 30th,1984 edition of the Caledonian-Record.
