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.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 62 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lexington Epitaphs: A Copy of Epitaphs in the Old Burying-Grounds of Lexington, Massachusetts As the earliest settlements in the town are believed to have been made about the year 1638, it is fair to conclude that many burials were made on the farms and elsewhere about the town before the establishment of the Old Burying-ground.

Download or read book Epitaphs From the Old Burying Ground in Watertown Classic Reprint written by William Thaddeus Harris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitaphs From the Old Burying Ground in Watertown I must also acknowledge here my indebtedness to Francis Bigelow, Esq. Who placed at my disposal, for comparison, his own very beautifully executed copy of the epitaphs, made by him in 1867. It will be seen that the general arrangement of the work is alphabetical. For strictly genealogical purposes this is undoubtedly more useful than the chronological plan adopted in the Cambridge Epitaphs. The oldest stone in the ground is that of sarah hammond, bearing date of 1674. This, with one or two others here, as many more in the old ground at Cambridge, and still more in Charlestown, Copp's Hill and Chapel Grounds in Boston, were without doubt cut in this country, and by one indi vidual. Periods, in these cases, separate the words, and deeply cut horizon tal marks separate the different lines of the epitaph. The letters are all cap itals. The stone of hannah coolidge, 1680, bears a winged skull, a fashion which almost universally prevailed from about this time to near the close of the last century. Nearly all the stones in this ground are so ornamented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epitaphs From Burial Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts, From 1657 to 1892: With Biographical and Historical Notes The importance of monuments and inscriptions cannot be too strongly stated. But for these, many persons, as well as events worthy of remembrance, would have been forgotten. In the early days of epitaphial writings, inscriptions were prohibited except upon the monuments of illustrious persons; but now it is the universal custom among all classes of people to adopt them. An epitaph to the honor of the dead has ever been regarded as of all praise the most noble and the most pure, especially when it: expresses the character and actions of the good. Private virtues are as much entitled to this homage as public ones, and the title of a good parent, a good friend, and a good citizen is worthy of being engraved on brass or marble. Thus the tomb of a good man may in some degree be made to supply the want of his presence, and attach a veneration to his memory, and prove a benefit by his example. Records on tombstones, says Leigh Hunt, are introducers of the living to the dead, makers of mortal acquaintances; and one touch of nature, ' in making the whole world kin, gives them the right of speaking like kindred to and of one another. An eminent writer says, \vhen I properly look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies within me, - when I read the epitaphs of the beauti ful, every inordinate desire goes out, - when I see the grief of parents for chil dren, my heart melts with compassion. - and yet, when afterwards I have beheld the tombs of parents themselves. I see, the vanity of grieving for those that we must follow, when I see kings lying, perhaps, by more who deposed them.

Download or read book Epitaphs From Graveyards written by George Kuhn Clarke and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 242 pages. 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 The inscription in an old graveyard are to me pathetic, impressive and interesting, the verses, sometimes crude, revealing the religious hopes and tastes of successive generations. Moreover having devoted much time during some of the best years of my life to the service of the Town of Needham, I have been led to search its venerable records in order to learn something of my predecessors. The epitaphs included in this volume, and those which I contributed to the Dedham Historical Register for April, 1899, were copied by me in the autumns of 1897 and 1898. In the genealogical and biographical notes I have utilized my large collection of memoranda copied from the Needham town and church records, and these are the sources of my information unless otherwise indicated. Only when it seems unavoidable have I availed of printed matter or copies. I am well aware that correspondence and the examination of town and church records outside of Needham would perfect my annotations, but it is not feasible for me to attempt more than I have done. That my work may be kept within reasonable limits, I have not located homes or described landed possessions. Old maps and the deeds recorded at Boston and at Dedham will in most instances furnish this information to those who care to investigate.
