This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitaphs in the Old Burial Place, Dedham, Mass In every old Massachusetts town, among the localities of special interest, is the Spot where the early inhabitants committed to the earth the bodies of their lamented dead. Consecrated anew year after year by the tears of love and sorrow, it becomes hallowed ground; and as we bend over the low headstone and decipher its quaint inscription, we are reminded of the affection which erected it, and which still commends it to our respect and care. We are told by the humblest stone that a loved one had died, and that loving ones survived who desired to honor, and preserve, the memory of the dead. It is indeed a brief story; but it is a story which we love to read, though its age may be reckoned in centuries. So our old cemetery is a record of human affection well fitted to improve the heart and stir the imagination. It is not necessarily a gloomy spot. It Speaks rather of rest and peace after the labors and turmoil of life are ended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Reading the Gravestones of Old New England written by John G.S. Hanson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The graveyards of old New England hold an incredible range of poetic messages in the epitaphs etched into the gravestones, each a profound expression of emotion, culture, religion, and literature. These epitaphs are old, but their themes are timeless: mourning and faith, grief and hope, loss, and memory. This book tells the story of a years-long walk among gravestones and shares insights gained along the way. It identifies the source texts and authors chosen for these stones; interprets something of the tastes and beliefs of the people who did the choosing; offers some hypotheses on the various ways these texts were accessible to readers in remote towns and villages; gives a brief summary of the religious context of the times; and reflects on how the language and literature chosen for these epitaphs express these peoples' conflicted and evolving attitudes towards life, death, and eternity.

Download or read book Epitaphs in Old Bridgewater Massachusetts Classic Reprint written by Williams Latham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitaphs in Old Bridgewater, Massachusetts We now present a complete list of all epitaphs in all old public grave-yards commenced before 1800, with plans and with some account of the old grave yards of the three towns of West Bridgewater, Bridge water and East Bridgewater, including all monuments in those yards, down to the present time, and also, most of the epitaphs in private and small-pox yards. The labor has been much greater than was anticipated. Several persons have been employed to copy inscriptions, and to locate and number monuments on the plans. Mr. Joshua E. Crane, Jr., has done most of this work in Bridgewater, and Walter M. Swift and Henry Har 'low have done the most of it in West Bridgewater and East Bridge water. We are much indebted to Mitchell's History of Bridgewater for the notes within parenthesis added to Epitaphs; to Walter L. Keith, for the use of his plate of the Keith coat of arms; and to Bradford Kingman, Esq., for original sketches drawn by him especially for this work, of the Edson Keith Tombs at page 18, and also for views of the houses of Rev. James Keith, opposite page 2 38. Eight of these plans are drawn from actual survey of the premises, giving courses and distances and two of them, the Powder-house and Jerusalem yards, are drawn from measurment of the outside line, giv ing their distances, and general coures. We have used our utmost endeavors to make this work accurate and reliable, for in that lies the value of a work of this kind but that is next to impossible, for errors will creep in, and the next best thing we can do is to be honest, and publish a full list of errors, with cor rections, that have come to our knowledge, after a long, close and careful examination and comparison of inscriptions, copies, proof sheets and printed text. In all of these burial places, the graves generally head west and foot east, or nearly so. In all indexes, when age is given, it is set down and called forty-nine years old, when it is stated that the person died in. The fiftieth year of his age, or in his fiftieth year, ' or words to that effect and in that way the age is reckoned and stated in all periods of life. Williams latham.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitaphs From Graveyards: In Wellesley (Formerly West Needham), North Natick, and Saint Mary's Churchyard in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts; With Genealogical and Biographical Notes As to military service, the volumes issued from time to time by the Commonwealth and by the various patriotic societies, render it unnecessary for me to give details. The town report for 1898, published in 1899, contains a list with particulars of forty-six soldiers of the Revolution from Needham, whose burial places are known. This list was prepared by the writer, who with the Select men was the Committee on the Graves of Revolutionary Soldiers, ' and placed the S. A. R. Markers. The fact that a man held even a minor town office in the last century, or the early part of this one, I have thought worthy of preservation and have introduced considerable town history. I am aware that this collection is unique and perhaps includes irrelevant matter, but I believe that it will be valuable in the future.
