Report of Commissioners of Public Burial Grounds.
The Commissioners report as follows:
The interest heretofore manifested in placing burial lots under Perpetual Care, still continues. Ten years ago, there were eight lots under such care, with a fund of $750; today there are sixty-two lots, with a fund of $4,200, six having been added the past year. Your Commissioners have been in communication with several persons who will, without doubt, in the near future, place some of the hitherto neglected lots under the care of the Town. Gravestones have fallen and broken in some of the Cemeteries, but your Commissioners know of no one whom they can notify of the fact and have them repaired. Perpetual Care removes all such difficulty, the Town having assumed the care, in such circumstances. Many lots have been graded the past year, but the terrible drouth of the summer has made it im- possible to keep the Cemeteries in their usual condition. The lack of water at the several Cemeteries has been especially felt the past year.
Six gravestones obtained from the U. S. Government by your Commissioners to be placed at the graves of soldiers of the Civil War who have never had markers, have arrived, and will be placed in position as soon as the weather will allow.
Parties interested in the private Cemetery called the Wright Cemetery, at the north part of the Town, have expressed a wish that the Town assume the care. Your Commissioners would recommend it be done, should the matter be brought before the Town, as some of the oldest residents and also soldiers of the Revolution and the War of 1812 are buried there. The care has gradually fallen upon a few individuals.
The several Cemeteries will be under the same care as in the past year.
The Commissioners would respectfully recommend that the sum of $250 be raised and appropriated for the care· and im- provement of the Cemeteries the coming year.
