There was an old burying-ground on Mill Plain, thought at one time to contain the oldest stones, but the boundaries and the site are now only traditional. All that remains of it are five tombstones,* which will probably be set in the old Fairfield ground.

As land was plenty, there were no particular bound- aries given at first to the burying-grounds, but peo- ple, with a very few exceptions, buried their dead in rows, in a general lot. As the Fairfield ground was the most eentral and the first church was located

there, it was natural that it should be the most used. The one on Mill Plain was in the rear of or near the first Episcopal church. In all probability, the burials made there were on "common or undivided land," which in time was apportioned to various individuals, and, as generations succeeded, these portions passed to different owners; and, being disused for burials, all traces of this ground are lost. Mr. Frederic Stur- ges owns the original site of it.

Another reason : The second Episcopal church being built near Mr. Henry Rowland's, the burying- ground in Fairfield was used jointly by the two de- nominations. The old ground being filled, a new one was a necessity; but, as the town would not harmo- nize on the location, two cemeteries were laid out simultaneously,-one to accommodate Black Rock and such other portion of Fairfield as would prefer a burial there, and the other to accommodate South- port, Mill Plain, and Fairfield. The former (once owned by Mr. Jonathan Lewis, who possessed all that square) was in the rear of the Methodist church ; the latter was on the Southport road, opposite, in later years, the original site of St. Thomas' (Catholic) church.

These cemeteries were calculated for a certain num- ber of lots capable of holding a specified number of persons, for each of which lots a sum of three dollars gave a "warranty deed, fee simple," for all time. Many "took up" a lot without paying; others pur- chased, and they or their posterity are holders of the deeds.

As Green's Farms and the Pequonnock ground were originally in Fairfield, the early inhabitants were buried in them. A very few gravestones were erected previous to 1700, but they were not in general use till about 1730 or 1740. The grounds mentioned above, with Greenfield ground (Greenfield was the name given to Fairfield Northwest Parish Oct. 12, 1727), contain the dead whose burials occurred from the above dates till 1827.

The first interment in the East ground is marked by a stone which contains :

" The Grave of Eliza Burr, wife of Silliman Burr, who died Feb. 11, 1827, aged 31 years."

The first interment in the West ground was that of Robert Pike, in 1830.

There is apparently a large vacant space in one corner of the old ground, which would make it appear to a stranger as if there was no necessity for a new ground, but on investigation it will be found that this portion was used exclusively for slaves and the poor.

The old way of settling a town was to select a site for a church, a town-house, a school, a burying- ground, and a green or parade-ground, and these were

for the public benefit. Buying a burial-plot in this country is a recent custom, except in large cities. Southport, Mill Plain, and Fairfield placed their dead in this old ground for years. Some bodies have been removed to other resting-places, but the most of the illustrious dead of Fairfield for two hundred years lie here.

In 1865 the citizens who possessed due reverence for their ancestors had a mortar-laid wall built to preserve this old Fairfield burying-ground.

It is a wonderful coincidence that many of the original owners (and their descendants for three or four generations) of the " colonial" houses lie in this inclosure.

Fairfield West Parish (now Green's Farms), like Stratfield, had a graveyard of its own ; likewise Fair- field North Parish (now Greenfield) had a ground to itself, but the latter has more antiquity, as it is said this was an old Indian burying-ground. The Indians buried their dead six feet deep, but they permitted the whites to use their ground, providing they would not bury deeper than four feet.

As the Indians passed away the whites continued to use it till it was full, and then they would have been obliged to extend this old ground or lay out a new cemetery had not Southport obviated that neces- sity by creating a cemetery of grand proportions for a rural community. The East ground was well occu- pied, the old, or middle, was disused, the West in- adequate, and Greenfield ground was full; so a num- ber of Southport gentlemen-Messrs. Benjamin Pom- eroy, William W. Wakeman, Moses Bulkeley, Warren D. Gookin, Jonathan Godfrey, Edwin Sherwood, John A. Alvord, Oliver H. Perry and his sister Delia, George Bulkeley, and Frederic Marquand-formed an asso- ciation, Dec. 29, 1865, under the Statute Laws of Con- necticut, and purchased a portion of land lying be- tween Greenfield and Southport, along the bank of Mill River. This has been laid out in beautiful walks and drives. The land being undulating, it is diversi- fied by " glade and glen" and groves. The grounds are sold to parties wishing to purchase, and in conse- quence many people of wealth have contributed freely towards making their final resting-places compara- tively as attractive as their earthly dwellings; so that the Oak Lawn Cemetery-named from a huge oak near the entrance-is rich in copings, inclosures, monuments, and tributes to departed friends. Here are stately monuments erected to the bearers of the names of Pomeroy, Wakeman, Bulkeley, Gookin, Sherwood, Alvord, Perry, Black, Nichols, Beers, McLean, Osgood, Jennings, Hull, Dimon, Goodsell, Ogden, Godfrey, Banks, and many others.

A portion of the East burying-ground is elegantly laid out, with the inclosures of coping and velvet turf. In the summer the dead appear as if inclosed in a sarcophagus of flowers labeled in beautifully carved marble. Here are the names of Sanford, Curtis, Phelps, Thorp, Gould, Lyon, Rowland, Hull, Brown,

Jennings, Betts, Smith, Sturges, Jones, Jessup, Cogs- well, Rogers, Wilson, and Burr, besides hosts of others, many of whom were the occupants of the beau- tiful mansions of Fairfield which have been standing from a quarter to half a century.

It is not an uneommon occurrence to find the mem- bers of a family buried in three cemeteries, which does not greatly facilitate the work of the historian or the genealogist.

In the old ground this inscription is found :

"W. P.

This Monument is erected by Mrs. Molly Piko to commemorate her Husband, Mr. William Pike, who died April 1st, 180G, in the 55th year of his age."

In the West ground a stone is

" Sacred to the memory of Molly Pike, widow of William Pike, who departed this life 15th Sept., 1834, Aged 74 Years, After having discharged a mother's duty to 15 children. " Behold, and see what death has done! This is the race we all must run, Repent in time, while time you have: There's no repentance in the grave."

In the old ground is found a stone ereeted

"In Memory of Capt Eliphalet Thorp, who departed this Life Sept. 1st, 1795, in the 56 Year of his Age."

He died of yellow fever; he was father of Mrs. Molly Pike. She married (1) Jonathan Darrow, who was taken prisoner by the British, and died on their prison ship. He left one son, Jonathan. In 1779 his mother took him and her sister and their colored fe- male slaves to the woods and remained till the danger was over. She married (2) William Pike, who was lieutenant under Gen. Washington. Of their four- teen children there are two living,-Capt. Julius Pike, of Southport, who formerly ran a packet from Charleston to New York, now is in his eighty-third year, and his sister, Charlotte, widow of James Perry, of Fairfield Woods, now eighty-seven. These ehil- dren were born in Southport. Three of them were lost at sea,-one a young man eighteen years old ; another, Capt. William, who started on a voyage with his vessel from Charleston and was never heard from afterwards; Capt. Robert, who lies buried near his mother, and has this inseription to his memory :

" The Grave of Capt. Robert l'ike, who departed this life on Barnegat Beach. After humancly preserving tho lives of his crew from shipwreck in the memorable gale on the 6th of December, 1>30, aged 37 years, 11 mouthe, and G days. " Behold, vain mortals, fleeting forms Beneath this clay-cold sod : Ifere lies, a prey to nanceous worms, The noblest work of God."

In this West ground is this inscription :

" In memory of Capt. John F. Langley, who was born in New Market, N. H., Nov. 20th, 1819, and, together with his erew, was lost on Eaton's Neck, Long Island,

in a snow-storm, Feb. 4th, 1845, Aged 25 years, 2 mo., & 14 DAYS. " Ile's gone and left me here below To mourn his loss with grief and wo. But God is just : may 1 be still. Since 'tis my heavenly Father's will."

Another stone in the same ground contains :

" To the memory of Aaron I. 1lubbell, Born Feb. 22nd, 1807, and came to his death by the Meloncholy loss of the schooner ' Reeside,' which was wrecked in the severe snow-storm of FEB. THE 4th, 1845, on Eaton's Neck, Long Island, Aged 37 years, 11 mo., & 12 Days. This stono commemorates the affectionate regard of the bereaved mother of him whose earthly remains repose beneath. May he rest in peace !"

Among the epitaphs in the East ground are :

" Died in the hopes of the Gospel, Enretta, wife of Jeremiah T. Denison, M.D., the 7th of February, 1844, In the 33 year of her age. Blessod are the dead that die in the Lord "

Another :

" HIere rests in hope of a glorious immortality the mortal remains of . Leander M. Sammis, who died Nov. 5, 1850. Æ. 25 yrs., 6 mo., & 6 d's.

HISTORY OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY, CONNECTICUT.

"Unvail thy bosom, faithful tomb ; Take this new treasure to thy trust, And give these sacred relics room To slumber in the silent dust. So Jesus slept, God's dying Son, Pass'd thiro' the grave & blest the bed. Rest here, blest saint, till from his throne The morning break and pierce the shade."

Another: "Capt. Rufus Knapp, son of Jolın & Esther Knapp, Born in Fairfield, Dec. 7, 1813. Sailed from New York for Liverpool in the Ship ' Leviathan,' Nov. 24, 1853. We waited, watched, and hoped, but no tidings ever came. "Sad, dark, mysterious thy fate and hard to bear, yet pleasant remem- brances crowd the memory, and like a halo of light relieve the sadness and best bespeak thy worth."

There are more epitaphs and odd inscriptions in Greenfield ground than in all the other grounds in Fairfield. Herc are a few specimens :

"In Memory of Capt Ebenezer Hill, Son of Deacn Joseph Hill, who departed this Life March 27th, 1798, in the 57th year of his age. He was virtuous in Life, and resigned in Death."

The next stonc contains :

"In Memory of Marel, wife of Capt. Eben' Hill, who died Oct. 26, 1820, in her 75 year. "She was the mother of six sons and thirce Daughters.

" In life she was industrious, equinomical, and virtuous, and in Death happy."

Another :

"In Memory of Uriah Burr, who died Octr 12, 1813, Æ. 27. "Learn, ye who view the silent tomb, And round its borders tread, I was cut down in perfect bloom And number'd with the dead.

" As you are now, so once was I, With youth and health adorned ; And soon like me you here must lie, A helpless prey for worms.

"Then seize, oh seize, the transient hour, Make sure your peace with God; Youth, like the morning flower, Is blasted in the bud."

Another :

"Francis Samuel Bulkley, Born at Black Rock, Ct., June 3, 1811. Died in New York March 30, 1855. "Death teaches heavy lessons hard to bear, And most it teaches us what we have lost In losing those who loved us."

Another :

"In memory of Elijah Banks, who died April 12, 1840, in the 50th year of his age. "The beloved partner of my heart, Which Heaven so lately gave, 'Tis called with earth for Heaven to part And left me here to grieve. But soon, ah ! soon, we'll meet again : In Heaven we hope to dwell, Free from all care and toil and pain : Then, dearest one, Farewell !"

Another:

"A * in glory, Henry B. Banks, Died July 20, 1854. Æ. 32 Y'rs & 4 mo. " Yes, again we hope to meet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed: Jesus' precious blood hath bought thee, And thou speakest all-though dead. "He being dead, yet speaketh .- Heb. 17: 4."

Another :

"Sacred To the memory of Abbey Bradley, wife of Silas Wakeman, & Daughter of Nathan & Clarine Wheeler, Who Died June 19, 1842, aged 34 year & 8 mos. "Farewell, my partner & children dear; Prepare for death while I sleep here."

Here is a memento of the late war:

" AMOR PATRIE DUCIT. Francis B. Merwin, Co. I, 23ª Regt C. V., Died in the service of his Country at Lafourche, La., Apr. 17th, 1863, Aged 23 yrs. & 11 mo. Erected by his young associates, A last sad tribute of their affection and esteem for their departed comrade."

Another :

" Sacred to the memory of Hosea Hulbert, M.D., who departed this life April 5, A.D. 1825, in the 80th year of his age. Quiescat in pace."

He built the house occupied by Mr. Henry Bradley, and resided there. He was an antagonist in practice to Dr. Rogers.

St. Thomas' ground is a new one, and in conse- quence has had but few burials in it. It is a neat little ground, belonging to the Catholic church.

341

FAIRFIELD.

There are some fine stones and monuments herc. Of the latter one large one bears this :

" Rev. Thomas Mullen, Obiit Aug. 5, 1877. Etat 33. Requiescat in Pace."

He was greatly beloved by his people, and respected by all. He died under these trying circumstances : There was some unpleasantness existing between John Conklin and George Allen, whereupon the latter shot the former, the wound proving fatal. Rev. Mr. Mullen attended him faithfully as long as life was sparcd, but, being troubled with the heart- discase, the excitement was so great that he fell down dead. Allen was sent to prison for life.

There are several very sensible inscriptions in this ground; then, again, there are sentiment and epi- taphs. Here is onc :

" Martha Ann, daughter of Gamaliel & Jane SMITH, Died Nov. 17, 1870. ZE. 9 y'rs, 10 D's. May her soul rest in peace! Amen. " We loved her! Oh, no tongue can tell How much we loved her or how well : God loved her too, and thought it best To take her home with him to rest."

Another :

" Father ! Michael Kincella, died Sept. 19, 1872. Æ. 44 yrs. May his soul rest in peace ! We miss thee."

As an introduction to the records of the Oak Lawn Cemetery, Mr. O. H. Perry wrote therein an elaborate and excellent history of the burying-grounds of the town, which has suggested many items in this paper.

Associating the present " colonial" houses with Fair- field old and the Greenfield burying-grounds, a good idca of the colonial times may be evolved into an in- teresting history. The East and West grounds will, with the homes erected in the early part of the cen- tury, bring that history down seventy-five years later ; while the historian in the next century will look to the extension of the East ground and Oak Lawn for the people of to-day.

There are, however, owing to the conflagration of 1779, many names of note, the bearers of which neither lived in "colonials" nor had they odd in- scriptions ; neither does space give them "special" history, but a worthy mention is due them. They are those of Allen, Barlow, Thorp, Lewis, Brewster (of whom was Capt. Caleb, who died in 1827, aged seventy- nine years, and " was a brave and active officer of the Revolution :" so says his tombstone), Fowler, Knap, Whitehead, Bartram, Benedict, Rev. Joseph Webb (one of the founders of Yale College), Ely, Trubec, and Squire.

The only ground kept now under any system is the

Oak Lawn, which has a perfect directory. Up to date there have been four hundred and thirty-five burials in it. There is a directory of the other grounds now being compiled for public use.

For information on the subject of burying-grounds credit is due to Mr. Samuel Wilson (gunsmith), Mr. Charles M. Johnson, Mr. Ebenezer Burr, Mr. David Banks, Mr. Oliver Perry, Capt. Julius Pike, and Miss Annic R. Jennings.

THE BOROUGHI OF SOUTHPORT."

The charter of the borough of Southport was granted May 26, 1831, and the first borough-meeting was held July 4, 1831. At this meeting the following officers were chosen; Jonathan Bulkeley, Warden ; Ebenezer Dimon, First Burgess ; Charles Perry, Sec- ond Burgess ; Andrew Bulkeley, Third Burgess ; Jus- tus Sherwood, Fourth Burgess; Jesup Alvord, Fifth Burgess; Wakeman B. Mecker, Sixth Burgess; Simon Sherwood, Treasurer; Julius Pike, Bailiff. The last borough-meeting was held Dec. 30, 1854.

THE SOUTHPORT NATIONAL BANK."

This bank was chartered as a branch of the Con- necticut Bank of Bridgeport, January, 1832, and called "The Connecticut Branch Bank," with Jere- miah Sturges president, Jonathan Bulkeley cashier. Francis D. Perry was elected cashier Dec. 20, 1839, in place of Jonathan Bulkeley, resigned. In 1844, Jesup Alvord was elected president, to succeed Jere- miah Sturges, deceased. In 1847, Wyllis Atwater was elected cashier, to succeed Francis D. Perry, resigned.

In July, 1851, the connection with the Connecticut Bank ceased. The bank obtained an independent charter, and was known as "The Southport Bank," with Jesup Alvord president, and Wyllis Atwater cashier. In 1852, Wyllis Atwater resigned as cashier, and Francis D. Perry was elected instead.

Jan. 2, 1865, the bank adopted the national bank- ing system, and was known as "The Southport Na- tional Bank." In February, 1865, Francis D. Perry resigned as cashier, and E. C. Sherwood was chosen to fill the vacancy. June 19, 1865, Jesup Alvord re- signed as president, and Francis D. Perry was chosen.

The capital of the bank has been one hundred thon- sand dollars from the organization as a branch to the present time. The surplus at present is twenty-seven thousand dollars.

THE SOUTHPORT SAVINGS-BANK .*

The Southport Savings-Bank was chartered by the General Assembly at its May session of 1854. It was organized in September, 1854, by the election of the following board of managers: President, Frederick Marquand; Vice-Presidents, William W. Wakeman, Edwin Sherwood, Augustus Jennings; Trustees, Jesup Alvord, Moses Bulkcley, George Bulkeley, Oliver H. Perry, Ebenezer Jesup, Simon Sherwood, William

Bulkeley, Allen Nichols, Jonathan Godfrey, Samuel A. Nichols, William Bibbins, John Gould ; Secretary and Treasurer, F. D. Perry. Only six of this board now survive.

Deposits were first received Sept. 25, 1854, in the Southport Bank building. A new structure was erected, opposite the Southport National Bank, for the savings-bank and occupied June 24, 1865, nearly eleven years after its organization, and then having on deposit $287,655.41. The present amount of de- posits (April 24, 1880) is $524,056.18.

Present board of managers: President, Frederick Marquand ; Vice-Presidents, Edwin Sherwood, Au- gustus Jennings, Jonathan Godfrey ; Trustees, George Bulkeley, F. D. Perry, W. B. Meeker, O. B. Jennings, Oliver Bulkeley, Paschal Sheffield, George Bulkeley, Jr., Francis Jelliff, Franklin Bulkeley, Benjamin A. Bulkeley, Simon C. Sherwood, Royal G. Skiff, John H. Wood, Edward Henshaw, Ebenezer Monroe, John H. Gorham; Loaning Committee, F. Marquand, Edwin Sherwood, and F. D. Perry ; Auditors, L. F. Sherwood and Henry Davis; Secretary and Treasurer, O. H. Perry.

LIBRARIES.

The writer is indebted to Dr. Dunham and Miss Catharine A. Blakeman, of Greenfield, Mr. J. F. Jennings, of Southport, and the Bridgeport Standard for the following :

The first public library in the town of Fairfield was established about 1790-1800, and disbanded about 1850. It was originally a stock concern. The only account so far advanced is taken from an old bill, in which it is stated that Alfred Perry, in 1827, "bought of the executors of the estate of David Becrs, deceased, at public vendue, one share in Fair- field Library for fifty-five cents." Some of the books of the original library are in the present Fairfield Library.

The second library was established in Greenfield in 1813. Each share in the library was sold at two dol- lars and fifty cents. The original by-laws, sub- scribers, and catalogue of books are in possession of M. V. B. Dunham, M.D., of Greenfield Hill. Among the subscribers' names are those associated with the colonial houses, some of whom took two shares,-viz., Rev. William Belden, Walter Bradley, David Hill, William B. Nash, A. D. Baldwin, Gideon Tomlinson, Gershom and Daniel Wakeman. They each paid a yearly tax of fifty cents. For keeping books beyond the allotted time there was levied a fine, and every one was mulcted some time.

As people may be curious to know of what libraries were composed in the pre-novel age, a quotation from the catalogue is given : "'Spectator,' 8 vols. ; 'Ram- bler,' 4 vols .; 'Lives of the Poets,' 4 vols .; Rollins' 'Antient History,' 8 vols .; 'Celebs,' 2 vols .; 'Prac- tical Piety,' 'Christian Morals,' 'History of Charles Twelvth,' 'Vicar of Wakefield,' 'Life of Calvin,'

Clark's 'Palestine,' 'Robinson Crusoe,' Jay's 'Ser- mons,' " etc.

The third library was founded in Southport in Feb- ruary, 1830, under the name of "Mill River Social Library." In this the cost of life-membership was ten dollars. Of life-members there were Jeremiah Sturges, Hezekiah Davis, Julius Pike,* Simeon Sher- wood, and Joseph Bulkeley.

The fourth was formed in Greenfield in May, 1830, when the members agreed to constitute a joint stock by subscribing five dollars apiece. This time they purchased Arnott's "Physics," "Phrenology," Gib- bons' "Romc," "Geology," and works of a similar character.

The fifth was at the Soutliport public school, which was established in 1858 by Mr. Frank D. Brinsmade, the principal of said school, who raised by public. exhibitions a sufficient sum to purchase two hundred volumes, of which there are only two known to be in existence.

The sixth is the "Library Association of Mill Plain," abbreviated to "L. A. M. P.," which was es- tablished in 1871. The founders were Miss R. S. Carew, Ebenezer Burr, Jr., and Mrs. Burr Perry. It was originated by the latter, and began with no pub- lic meeting, but was started with one dollar by Mrs. Perry for capital. It has a circulating library of more than seven hundred and fifty volumes, has been suc- cessful, and retains its popularity. It is the only li- brary organization in the town that has never changed its principal officers. It has been largely augmented through the donations of Mr. D. M. Redfield and his sisters, Mrs. Lounsbury, of Portchester, and Mrs. John Abendroth, of New York.

The seventh library was founded in Greenfield about the time the "L. A. M. P." was organized, and had for a nucleus the remains of its former libraries. The people of Greenfield preserve a warm interest in its behalf. It also numbers over seven hundred and fifty volumes, and is a decided success,

The eighth was organized in Southport in 1875. Two hundred and fifty dollars were subscribed by private individuals, which sum was increased by yearly dues. This library was given to the temper- ance organization.

The ninth, and last, was the "Memorial Library," given to Fairfield in 1876 by Mr. Morris W. Lyon, who donated the generous sum of one thousand dol- lars for its establishment. Mr. Lyon is a native of Fairfield, but for the past twenty-four years has resided in New York, where he still has a collegiate institute for boys. The original directors were: Rev. Drs. E. E. Rankin (who, leaving town, resigned), Samuel Osgood (who deceased while he was its popular and efficient president), Rev. James K. Lombard (present president), and Messrs. J. H. Glover, O. B. Jennings, Deacon Samucl Morehouse, and Deacon H. W. Cur-
