Old Copp's Hill and Burial Ground.
sacred relics are, as they were removed long ago. To Thomas Hutchinson the North End is indebted for its first school-house ; he first proposed it at Town Meeting, and paid for it out of his own funds. How grateful we have been for his generosity is shown from the fact, that the house now erected on the same lot is called the Eliot School-house, in honor of a former pastor of the New Nortlı Church.
Another vault, that has been misused in the same manner, bears a coat of arms that is remarkably well carved, and beneath this is an inscription apparently as legible as when it came fresh from the chisel. This memorial stone, like nine-tenths of all the others, is of slate, and, like them, it shows but little of the wear of the elements or of the lapse of time. It stands a short dis- tance from the main entrance toward the west, and is abont three feet by two in size, with a thickness of less than two inches. Its armorial bearings are a coat of chain-mail, upon which is a breastplate, surmounted by a helmet with its visor down. Upon the top of this is a swan crowned, having a chain around its neck and thence over its back. Ornamental scrolls surround this de- vice, and on either side are clusters of domestic fruits, including apples, pears, peaches, corn, wheat, grapes, plums and cherries, all of which are recognized at a glance. Within a space of less than two square feet is the following inscription :
HERE LYES THE MORTAL PART OF WILLIAM CLARK, ESQ., AN EMINENT MERCHANT OF THIS TOWN, AND AN HONORABLE COUNCILLOR FOR THE PROVINCE, Who distinguished himself as a faithful and affectionate Friend, a fair and generous Trader, LOYAL TO HIS PRINCE, yet always zealous for the Freedom of his Country, a Despiser of SORRY PERSONS and little Actions, an enemy of Priestcraft and Enthusiasm, a Lover of good Men of various Denominations, and a reverent Worshipper of the DEITY.
Deterred by neither the beauty of the sculpture nor the elo- quence of the epitaph, Samuel Winslow, who was for several years sexton of the First Baptist Church, obtained possession of the vault, caused his name, with sublime coolness, to be inscribed above that of him for whom it had been prepared, ousted its original occupants, used the tomb for a temporary resting place

of those for whom he was performing a portion of the funeral rites, and now it is supposed he reposes there, awaiting his turn to again come to light, brought thither by mortal or immortal hands. William Clark met with reverses in the French wars, losing forty sail of vessels, which so impaired his fortune and depressed his spirits that he died soon after. He was one of the original attendants of Christ Church; his dwelling, on the corner of Garden Court and Prince streets, was built of brick, and said to be the finest of the day. Next is the tomb of his brother, Dr. John Clark, whose family gave seven generations of physi- cians, in a direct line, bearing the same name.
Near the centre of the Hill is the tombstone of William Mumford, who died November 21, 1718, aged 77 years. He was one of the most prominent members of the Quaker Society, and was a stone-cutter and builder by trade. On July 10, 1694, he purchased a lot of land in Brattle Square, and built a brick meeting-house, which is said to have been the first brick church erected in Boston, and also the first Quaker meeting-house in Boston. It was conveyed to trustees, with a part of the land, for the Quaker Society, of which he was a prominent member. He afterward bought another lot on Congress Street, on the 5th of January, 170%, on which he built another meeting-house, to which the society removed when they sold the one on Brattle Square. They used part of this same lot for a burial place. About 1825, the land having been disposed of, the remains were removed by the Quaker Society to Lynn. Near by is the stone of John Soames (a cooper), who was one of the trustees to whom Mum- ford conveyed the first meeting-house, and who was also a promi- nent Quaker. He died November 16th, 1700, in the fifty-second year of his age, and nine years before the society sold the first meeting-house. At a short distance to the left of this stone is a slab in memory of Captain John Pullin, from whom the headland at the north-west of Chelsea, fronting westerly on the harbor, took its name.
The first stone on the right of the Hull Street entrance is a stone, bearing a coat of arms, in memory of Edward Martyn, who, with Timothy Thornton and Thomas Hutchinson, was the Committee appointed to purchase the second addition to the cem- etery. Mr. Martyn was Captain of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1715. He is said to have owned, at one time, most of the land from Hanover Street to the water's edge.

TOMB No. 7. The representative of this tomb in the pres- ent generation, is Frederic W. Lincoln, who was for seven years Mayor of Boston, The original owners in the Lincoln family were his grandfather, Amos Lincoln, and his brother. Amos Lincoln was one of the small party of patriotic young men who, disguised as Indians, threw the tea overboard at the commence- ment of the Revolutionary struggle. He was then an appren- tice, learning his trade as a house-builder, and was selected not only on account of his discretion and political principles, but because he was skilled in the use of an implement of his trade with which he pried off the tops of the tea-chests before his comrades threw their contents into the sea. He early joined the army and served during the war as captain in the artillery service. After the peace he married a daughter of Paul Revere, was one of the leading mechanics and citizens of the town, and engaged in the erection of many substantial buildings, the most important one now standing being the State House on Beacon Hill. He died January 15, 1829.
John Mountfort, who in 1711 built tomb No. 17 on the Hull Street side, was, in 1696, a member of the Ancient and Honor- able Artillery Company ; in 1713 owner of Mountfort's Wharf. He was ancestor of the well-known Mountfort family at the North End, who for many years resided on Prince Street. One of his descendants, Mr. George Mountfort, represented the Uni - ted States, at the island of Crete, for nine years.
Jonathan Mountfort, brother of John, and founder, in 1724, of tomb No. 59, upon which is the finely sculptured family coat of arms, was a physician and apothecary. He resided for many years, at what was called " Mountfort's Corner." In 1717 he was one of the Building Committee of the "New Brick " or " Cockerel" church, of which he was treasurer.
Near this tomb is that of Edward Carnes, who lived on Hull Street, opposite the Small Ground. Mr. John Weir presented to Mr. Carnes a flag which he had carried when President Washing- ton visited Boston in 1789, thinking he was a suitable person to have the same. Mr. Carnes carried it on the occasion of the great Jubilee, in 1851, in the presence of President Fillmore. It is now in the possession of his son, Captain Edward Carnes, of Charlestown.
About five feet from the Edes tomb lies the remains of Prince Hall, first Grand Master of the colored Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts.

The following Epitaphs are to be found on tombstones in different parts of the cemetery :
SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF MRS. ELIZABETH BROWN, WIFE OF MR. NICHOLAS BROWN, WHO DIED DEC. 11, 1803, AGED 35 YEARS.
When the last scene - the closing hour - drew nigh, And earth receded from her swooning eye, Tranquil she left this transitory scene, With decent triumph, and a look serene; By faith she fixed her ardent hopes on high, In Jesus' merits, and in him did die. So shall her grave with rising flowers be drest, And the green turf lie lightly on her breast, Here shall the morn her earliest tears bestow, Here the first roses of the year shall blow, While angels with their silver wings o'ershade The ground now sacred by her relics made. Then rest in peace beneath this sculptured stone, Till Jesus' trumpet calls thee to his throne.
IN MEMORY OF MR. SAMUEL WAKEFIELD, WHO DIED Nov. 12, 1809, Æ. 22.
This humble stone proclaims the truth - Here lies a much respected youth, But now cut down in early prime, And far beyond the ills of time, In brighter worlds and clearer skyes Shall all his manly virtues rise.
IN MEMORY OF MARY HUNTLEY, who departed this life Sept 28 1798 in the 64th year of her age. Stop here my friend, & cast an eye, As you are now, so once was I; As I am now, so you must be, Prepare for death & follow me. A young man added to these lines, in chalk,- To follow you I'm not content Unless I know which way you went.

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF MISS MERCY JONES, WHO DIED APRIL 7, 1805, AGED 20 YEARS AND 6 MONTHS.
Adieu, my friends, forever, ever gone, Her happy soul has put full glory on ; The tenderest ties could never her detain, But O, our loss is her most happy gain. Gentle her manners were, her taste refined, Her face au emblem of her heavenly mind; Her speech siucere, and open as her heart, Her conversation did delight impart. Though young, she listened to the voice of truth, And trod a Savior's steps in early youth ; Calm and serene, she yielded up her breath, And even triumphed at the approach of death.
SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF MR. PETER GILMAN, WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE APRIL 12TH 1807 AGED 42 YEARS. Stop my friends, and in a mirror see What you, though e'er so healthy, soon must be. Beauty, with all her rosebuds, paints each face; Approaching death will strip you of each grace.
Near the main path northerly is a diminutive stone which reads thus :
SARAH RULE AGED 9 YEARS DIED JULY YE 5 1690.
This is the grave of the mischievous miss mentioned by Cotton Mather, she having excited his ire by besmearing his manuscript with ink.
These lines are on a stone probably erected soon after 1700. They are without name or date. It is evidently a foot-stone:
What is 't fond mortal yt thou wouldst obtain By spining out a painful life of cares ; Thou livest to act thy childhood o're again, And nought intends but grief and seeing years. Who leaves this world like me just in my prime, Speeds all my business in a littele time.
MARGARET YE WIFE OF WILLIAM SNELLING AGED 46 YEARES DECEASED THE 18 DAY OF IVNE 1677
47
Old Copp's Hill and Burial Ground.
At the centre of the ground stands a building now used as a tool-house, which was built about forty-five years since, for a chapel or receiving house. At the north-east corner of this building may be found the tombstone of the wife of a well- known silversmith, upon which are the following lines :
Death with his dart hath pierced my heart, While I was in my prime ; When this you see grieve not for me, 'Twas God's appointed time.
Among the names that are likely to attract the attention of the close observer are the. following :
John Milk and Mary Farmer; William Beer and John Water:
Samuel Mower and Theodocia Hay ;
Elizabeth Tout and Thomas Scoot; Marcy White and Mary Black ; Timothy Gay and Daniel Graves; Charity Brown and Elizabeth Scarlet; Ann Ruby and Emily Stone.
Near the Parker tomb is the slab of David Copp, who was a son of William Copp, and an Elder in Dr. Mather's Church.
Near the Hull Street gate is the tombstone of Capt. Edward Rumney and wife. Captain Rumney served with distinction in the Revolutionary War. He was a member of St. Andrew's Lodge and charter member of St. Andrew's Royal Arch Chapter of Boston. His son, Edward, was Sailing Master in the U. S. Navy, and is honorably mentioned in the official report of the capture of the English sloop-of-war Penguin by the Hornet. Congress voted him a medal, March 23d, 1815.
It is estimated that over ten thousand persons have been buried in this cemetery.
The author is indebted for the privilege of taking elec- trotype copies of several illustrations to the courtesy of Mr. Samuel A. Drake, the author, and Roberts Brothers publish- ers, of "Landmarks of Boston " and "Around the Hub" - books which no family should be without. He also takes this opportunity of thanking Messrs. John L. Stevenson, Albert Folsom, Benjamin Parks and George Mountfort for favors received.
