GRAVE STONE RECORDS From the ancient Cemeteries in the town of Claremont, New Hampshire. With historical and biographical notes.
Compiled by CHARLES B. SPOFFORD

INTRODUCTION.
An increasing interest in family history and genealogy has caused numerous inquiries concerning early families of Claremont.
In many instances no replies can be made for lack of evidence that the parties were buried here. No town records of death exist prior to 1846. Many of the stones have already become so weather beaten that it is with difficulty they are transcribed, and a few years will entirely obliterate them.
Believing that a printed record of these will be of service to posterity as well as of value to the historian and genealogist, a transcript has been made of all the stones in the West Claremont church yard, the village burying ground, the Jarvis yard, and all prior to 1846 in the Catholic cemetery. The town records give dates of deaths of all interments here since that year.
The usual couplets and verses upon the old stones have not been copied unless they in some way give facts worth recording. In other words the record is a plain statement of facts with such notes as it has seemed proper to add for reference or information.
To this transcript it is not proposed to add any extended notes. In some instances, however, items are introduced regarding the native place, and service as soldiers or public officials. Whenever the maiden name of a wife or widow is known, but does not appear on the stone, it is inserted in parentheses.
The usual abbreviations will be used, omitting in most instances the words "died," and "aged."
The names are arranged alphabetically for easy reference.

THE OLD BURYING GROUND, CLAREMONT VILLAGE.
The first mention of this yard occurs in the town records as follows : "August 27, 1792. Voted to give off the school lot two acres of land for a Burying yard near the meeting house.
"Voted-to accept a highway from Atkins Bridge (now called the upper bridge) to the meeting house through James Strowbridge's land.
"Voted-to exchange one acre and two rods of land off of the school lot No. 29 with Mr. Samuel Whipple for one acre and two rods of land on which the meeting house stands.
"March 31, ISO1, Mr. John Whitty was appointed sexton to dig graves in the Burying yard near the meeting house.
"March 13, 1804. Voted-That a hearse and harness be procured for the Burying yard by the meeting house and also one for the church burying yard."
By reference to the town treasurer's accounts it is found that these hearses were built by William Rhodes at a cost of Si82.61, and that Capt. Timothy Munger was paid $63.00 for a hearse house.
