PREFACE.
1136849
Some years since, or in 1895, it became evident to the cont- piler that many of the gravestone inscriptions in our two ancient cemeteries were fast bcoming difficult to decipher because of the slow but sure disintegration of the oldest monuments, for which reason he undertook the difficult task of copying them while it was possible to do so. The labor has been performed con amore, and the town at its annual meeting in 1901 kindly voted to place the matter of publishing the compilation in the hands of the Cem- etery Commissioners, and this pamphlet is the result, which the compiler trusts will be of use to posterity as well as acceptable to his fellow townsmen.
It may be noted in passing that the compiler has added largely to the list of burials where no headstones 'appear, when names and dates could possibly be ascertained from the records or relatives. But owing to the indefinite manner in which the returns were rendered, till recently, it has been very difficult and often impossible to tell from the records in which of our six cemeteries burials have been made, when monuments are not in evidence. For which reason there will ever remain many name- less graves in our two oldest cemeteries. This lack of informa- tion may be remedied in some measure if anyone to whose'notice this list may come, who has knowledge of any full account of burial which does not appear in the published list, will give the same to the compiler.

History of the Palmer Cemetery. 1729 -- 1901.
" With thy rude ploughshare, Death turn up the sod, And spread the furrow for the seed we sow ; This is the field and acre of our God,
This is the place where human harvests grow."
One of the sad necessities connected with the settling of every town is the early setting apart of the sacred acre, where, sooner or later, the great majority must find rest after the work of life is done. And so it happened here, for on the 26th of April, 1729, death claimed Moses, the son of the pioneer John King, who first consecrated the ground set apart by the free con- sent of those who settled early in the precincts of our village, as we find no account of any action on the part of the town con- nected with it. No stone marks the place of the first burial, nor of many others who soon followed. The oldest headstone in the cemetery bears this inscription: "Here lies the body of Jerusha, daughter of Capt. Nathaniel Vose of Milton, and wife of Andrew Mackee, who died May 22, 1732, 30 years of age."
The first mention in our town records regarding the "South Burying Yard" was on Oct. 8, 1788, when it was voted "That Timothy Brainerd make a "spaid" for the Burying Yard at the row and that he shall have his Pay out of the first town Rate that is assessed." At the same meeting it was voted that "Aaron Merrick, Lt. John King and Dr. Calvin Scott be a committee to fence the South Burying Yard." The committee reported May 8, 1789, that the people of that neighborhood had agreed to erect a fence by subscription, which report was accepted. In 1800 Capt. John King contracted to dig graves at the rate of 25

cents each in the South Yard. The Palmer cemetery was en- larged in 1865 by the addition of three acres of land purchased of Elisha Converse for about $900, and another addition of about one and one-half acres was made on the east side. After fencing the yard in 1788 the people seemed to have thought their duty had been performed and left it in Nature's care, for when I first saw the grounds a more sadly neglected spot could scarcely be conceived.
Recognizing the need of improvement, a meeting of citizens was called in 1866 to see if something could be done to redeem the cemetery from the forest aspect which it had assumed. In response to this call the Palmer Cemetery Association was formed, a code of by-laws adopted, and these officers elected June 25 of that year: John Ward, president; A. V. Blanchard, vice-president ; P. P. Kellogg, secretary and treasurer ; and an executive committee consisting of S. R. Lawrence, William Mer- riam, E. B. Lyon, C. C. Shaw and David Knox. There were seventy- seven members enrolled who paid one dollar each as annual dues, besides eight honorary members who paid five dol- lars each. The sum of $100 was raised the first year and $128 the second. This society existed till 1869, when it was discon- tinued, but during those four years it wrought a wonderful change. From the record before me I find that 18 cords of wood were cut and sold off the grounds, so it can well be imagined how densely the trees occupied the enclosure. The wood was sold for about $68.
After this uprising the cemetery was again allowed to take care of itself till June 18, 1888, when the second cemetery asso- ciation was organized and has been efficiently maintained till the present. It is supported by annual dues from members and by donations. This association deserves well of our people, for it has brought order out of chaos and made attractive and beauti- ful the grounds which were once an unsightly feature in our village. In 1897 the town voted to purchase about six and one- half acres of land of John M. Converse adjoining the old ceme- tery on the north at a cost of $3,000. In the following year the town elected these cemetery commissioners: H. E. W. Clark, for

three years; H. C. Strong, for two years; H. G. Loomis, for one year. In 1899 the commissioners procured plans for the laying out of the added grounds and commenced work thereon, which promises in time to make a very attractive extension to our cemetery.
The inscriptions in the following list cover a period from 1729 to 1895, with such additions as have since come to hand, so that it is quite possible that a few monuments which have been erected since 1895 may have been overlooked, as it has been impossible for me to go over the entire ground again. In many instances known names and dates have been included where no headstones appear, in order to make the list as com- plete as possible. The monuments include a great variety of material and style, from the undressed field stone of the early days to the massive and polished Scotch granite shaft of to-day. It is notable that during the last decade a large number of costly and elegant monuments have been erected which add much to the character of the cemetery.
