The earliest burials were made in the northerly part of the cemetery, as then constituted, and stones are now standing which give a date as early as 1730.
Before 1700, few graves in any of the cemeteries of the Old Colony were indicated with stone monuments, wooden markers being used. But, when Hanover was incorporated, they had be- come common.
The early stones were of slate, imported Welsh slate, it is said. They have stood the test of time. The cuts on these stones are repulsive but the inscriptions are lenghy and indicate tenderness and appreciation.
The most of these old stones face the west, as they do in 30 many of the older cemeteries. Until the beginning of the nine- teenth century, all the graves had, as a top covering, small stones for a depth of at least one foot.
During the early part of the nineteenth century, marble stones came into use and this use continued for a long time; but a ma- jority of these have fallen and the decay of all is inevitable. Granite is now the principal material used for headstones and monuments.
Probably the graves unmarked in the cemetery exceed in num- ber those that are marked. Briggs, in his "Church and Cemetery Records," gave a list of the majority of the stones standing, when this book was published.
In 1788, David Stockbridge presented the town with a parcel of land containing one and one-quarter acres. This now consti- tutes the northwest part of the cemetery.
About 1850, John Barstow gave to the town a lot of land and this lot now forms the southeasterly part of the cemetery.
In 1891, the town purchased of Joshua Studley 12 6-10 acres, of Mrs. Andrew T. Damon 3 8-10 acres, and, at the same time, Mrs Eliza Salmond gave to the town 3-10 of an acre of land. This now forms the northerly part of the present grounds. The cemetery now contains 25 6-10 acres.
In 1808, the town voted to purchase a hearse. Previous to this we think the Bier and Pall had been used for transporting the dead to their final resting place.
Previous to 1844 the grounds had little care except such as

was given by friends and individual owners of lots. On that date, the town passed a vote to "raise a Committee to cause to be built a tomb and to exterminate the bushes on the Burying Ground"; but, as late as 1860, the old graves were still covered with heaps of small stones and the low-bush blueberries covered the most of the ground. Since that date more and more attention has been given to the care of the grounds and now there are few country cemeteries that can surpass our own for beauty of situation or that show greater attention or more modest, beautiful monuments.
The Grand Army by the inauguration of Decoration Day has aroused a sentiment that has done much to make our cemetery an attractive spot; and no heart can be untouched by the simple impressive ceremonies of the day; especially those at the Memorial Urn, which was erected by our Woman's Relief Corps in memory of the "Unreturned"; and at the Soldier's Monument, which stands on the green at the entrance to the cemetery grounds.
Early in the history of the Colony, family burial lots were com- mon and there were three at least at Hanover; one west of Center street on the Albert White farm, one west of Winter street and one at West Hanover, a few rods northwest of the house of Al- pheus Packard. This latter lot is now fenced and several head- stones are still standing.
The one west of Center street was the Hatch family burial lot and here James Hatch, the' first Selectman was buried. Cor- nelius White owned this land in the early part of the nineteenth century. He tried to have the town take possession of this burial lot and preserve it but no definite action was taken and the ground was ploughed.
It was a tender thought to bury the loved ones on the home place. Time and change are unfeeling and experience teaches us that one common ground with perpetual care is more in har- mony with our better thoughts in connection with our dead.
At Assinippi near the town line is another burial ground es- tablishd about 1789, this having been used largely by families in that section of the town.
We quote from an article on the Pembroke Cemetery written by Harry W. Litchfield of that town "'Go to yonder Churchyard," said Doctor Francis Collamore, 'and read history there,'" and, further, he says: "God's Acre is the last home of all our neighbors and friends. Each season brings it a richer harvest of them from the highways and byways of the town. Although we may never come to esteem a walk through its winding paths and grass-grown

avenues, in the words of Judge Sewall, "an awful yet pleasing Treat", the sight of its memorials to our dear and honoured friends may remind us more of what was gained in their lives than lost in their deaths and bring us out from the gateway, feeling that we have been 'compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses'." In closing this chapter, the following quotation seems appropriate :--
"My heart was heavy, for its trust had been
Abused, its kindness answered with foul wrong; So, turning gloomily from my fellow-men,
One summer Sabbath day I strolled among The green mounds of the village burial place;
Where, pondering how all human love and hate Find one sad level; and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrong-doer, each with meekened face,
And cold hands folded over a still heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave, Whither all footsteps tend, whence none depart,
Awed for myself and pitying my race,
Our common sorrow, like a mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and, trembling, I forgave !"
ERRATA.
On a review we notice a few important errors and take this op- portunity to correct them :
Page 73, line 1, for "Horace W. Crane," read Horace S. Crane.
Page 90, line 21, for "to let alone," read to be let alone.
Page 98, line 13, for "Clapman," read Chapman.
Page 245, line 11, for "Frederick W. Hall," read Frederick B. Hall.
Page 259, line 20, for "1775," read, 1725.
INDEX.
This index relates only to the historical part of the book. An index was prepared of the genealogical pages containing more than fifteen thousand names, alphabetically arranged, but as the publi- cation of this would so increase the number of pages as to require a work of two volumes, and very materially increase the cost, it was decided to omit the same. As the families are arranged al- phabetically, we trust the omission will not be felt as a loss.
