Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gravestone Inscriptions and Records of Tomb Burials in the Central Burying Ground, Boston Common, and Inscriptions in the South Burying Ground, Boston As a result of a general complaint by the citizens and undertakers of Boston that no more space was available either in the King's Chapel or Granary burying grounds, in 1740, John Chambers, with other undertakers and grave diggers, petitioned the selectmen to purchase a new cemetery in the south end of the town. Eight years later, a committee was appointed to consider the matter and a plan was submitted at a town meeting held May 9, 1748, which provided for the laying out of about an acre and one-half near the southeast corner of the Common, bounded by the Tremont street Mall, and Frog Lane, the present Boyl ston street. It appeared, however, that the proposed lot would in part extend into the Common and opposition developed and the discussion continued for another eight years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of the Dead in Boston: Containing an Exact Transcript From Inscriptions, Epitaphs and Records on the Monuments and Tombstones in Copp's Hill Burying Ground, in the City of Boston Street as far as Salem Street. Eastward from the church, a gradual descent led to the North Battery, which was considered the bottom of the hill. South-easterly the slope was still more gradual, and terminated at the foot of the North Square, leaving a knoll on the right, where at present stands the meeting-house of the Second Church. Copp's Hill rose gradually from Hudson's Point, so called from William Hudson, who owned it in 1635. This point and. Part of the hill were once the property of Joshua Gee, and Gee'st noted shipyard lay at the foot of the hill northerly, a short dis tance from his house in Prince Street. It was afterwards used for a fortification, and called the North Battery. On the hill, Admiral Graves raised a battery of six guns and howitzers, and opened a fire on the American works in Charlestown, on the 17th of June, 1775. Charlestown was set on fire by bomb shells thrown from this height, and by a body Of marines, who landed in the easterly part Of that town from the Somerset frigate. The scene has been described by writers with terrific splendor, while the battle of Bunker Hill was kindling that blaze of glory which finally triumphed in the deliverance of an oppressed people, and in the foundation of a great empire.

Recommended for academic, health sciences, and large public libraries." --E-STREAMS Dying is a social as well as physiological phenomenon. Each society characterizes and, consequently, treats death and dying in its own individual ways—ways that differ markedly. These particular patterns of death and dying engender modal cultural responses, and such institutionalized behavior has familiar, economical, educational, religious, and political implications. The Handbook of Death and Dying takes stock of the vast literature in the field of thanatology, arranging and synthesizing what has been an unwieldy body of knowledge into a concise, yet comprehensive reference work. This two-volume handbook will provide direction and momentum to the study of death-related behavior for many years to come. Key Features More than 100 contributors representing authoritative expertise in a diverse array of disciplines Anthropology Family Studies History Law Medicine Mortuary Science Philosophy Psychology Social work Sociology Theology A distinguished editorial board of leading scholars and researchers in the field More than 100 definitive essays covering almost every dimension of death-related behavior Comprehensive and inclusive, exploring concepts and social patterns within the larger topical concern Journal article length essays that address topics with appropriate detail Multidisciplinary and cross-cultural coverage EDITORIAL BOARD Clifton D.
