Trustees of Cemeteries.
"I only need to visit the graveyards of a community to know the character of the people."
Your trustees were unable to make much needed improvements in the old cemeteries, as there was no appropriation made for that purpose. They were cleaned up in the spring and mowed at the proper time, the expense being met by the sale of lots. There are but a few more lots to sell, and but little income can be had from that source in the future. There are many headstones that need to be reset to prevent their falling down. Most of these are in lots owned by people who have moved away or there are no descendants, and we are sorry to say, a few, by residents of the town. If this was well done, with a little attention each year, it would add much to the trim appearance of the yards.
About twenty-five (25) lots receive yearly care from the income of permanent funds held in trust by the town, and we earnestly recommend our citizens who own lots, not only in the old yards, but in River- side cemetery, to make provision for the perpetual care of their lots, by depositing with the town, a sun of not less than one hundred dollars for that purpose.
40
In view of the celebration of Old Home Week, the coming season, it is desirable that the cemeteries all be put in the best of condition, that our relatives and friends, who may visit us, may feel that we have not been remiss in caring for the grounds where many of their loved ones lie sleeping, your trustees ask that an appropriation of not less than $100 be made for that' purpose.
At Riverside, the work done the past season has been of a permanent character and in harmony with a comprehensive plan, which will require years to carry out. That part which has been opened for burial, has already assumed a beautiful appearance.
The enlarging and repairing of the tomb at the West street yard is a question to be met in the near future. The matter has been carefully considered and we do not think any money should be expended upon it. The interments at Riverside will increase rapidly and in a few years nearly all will be inade there, making a tomb at that cemetery a necessity. The erection of a chapel should be considered in con- nection with a tomb. There are many brought here for burial, and in many cases the homes are not of suitable size for a funeral, and a chapel that would seat fifty or seventy-five persons should be provided where funeral services may be held. In cities and most of the larger towns, where tombs are being built, the chapel is built over the tomb, permitting the remains to be lowered through the floor into the tomb and taken out for burial at a lower door. In anticipation of such immediate want your trustees ask that they be authorized to procure plans and estimates for a chapel and tomb combined for the consideration
41
of the town next year and a suitable appropriation to be made to cover the expense of such plans.
Your trustees in common with most of our citi- zens have realized the possibility that the land be- tween Nashua street and the cemetery might be used in the near future for a railroad yard, or for building purposes, which would be undesirable at the entrance to the cemetery, and while Riverside is large enough for many years, it will ultimately need to be en- larged.
Upon the death of the late Mrs. Hannon, this property was offered for sale, and while the trustees had no authority to buy it in the name of the town, they felt that the opportunity should not be allowed to pass, but that some action should be taken whereby the town mnight secure this land. They therefore took the responsibility to purchase it, and having sold the land and buildings west of the brook, retaining 8 and 20-100 acres adjoining Riverside on the west and ex- tending to Nashua street. The town will be given an opportunity at its annual meeting to secure this land at a nominal price, which in the opinion of the trus- tees it is desirable to do.
