A headstone near by towering above all others bears rec- ord of the REV. EBENEZER THAYER, "who for nearly twenty fix years difpenfed the bread of life to the Society in this place; and on September 6th 1792. fell afleep in Jefus supported by the Chriftian hope of a refurrection to eternal life Æ 58."
"While o'er this modeft stone religion weeps,

18 THE COLONIAL DEAD
Sober, learned, free from care and Strife, He fill'd the useful offices of life; Admired, endeared as Hufband, Father, Friend, Peace blefs'd his days and innocence his end. Blamelefs throughout, his worth by all approv'd, True to his charge, and by his people lov'd,
He liv'd to make his hearers' faith abound, And died that his own virtue might be crown'd."
The following inscription is charmingly quaint.
"DE" JOSIAH MOULTON dest Nov ye 21st 1776 in the 90th year of his age and the 57th year of his offis."
" The sweet rememnc of the just will flourish when he sleeps in dust."
"MARY, consort to Den Josiah. dest Sept 12th 1744 aged 86."
The office of Deacon was one of marked distinction. In early times no freeman was allowed to vote in town-meet- ing nor act as a deputy in the General Court unless he were a church member. September 8, 1642, this law was dis- pensed with as to the towns in New Hampshire.
There is another of "God's Gardens" in Hampton which is small and rather difficult of access. It is in a pas- ture far from any buildings and fertile as if two centuries ago it was a lovely field. Upon gently rising ground a clus- ter of old gravestones stand, remarkably free from moss or lichenous growth. In a little hollow are a few half- sunken rocks nearly covered by weeds and bushes, suggest- ing a handsome Colonial mansion, where once were domi-

ciled the Freese family. Three of the stones are even now easily decipherable and in their odd, old-fashioned way inform us that
"Here Lyes ye Body Of Lev™ Jacob Fre se DecP NovR yº 5th 1727 In ye 42D year."
: "Here Lyes ye Body Of Benjamin Freese Son to Jacob & Rachel Freese Aged 2 yrs 9 mos & 26 Dayes DecD June ye 2. 1715."
"Here Lyes ye Body Of MR Joseph Chase DecD JanRY ye 12 1717 The 73 year."
That he was a man of prominence is known by "Mr" for in those "dayes" it was used only in designation of one in high social position, and the office of Lieutenant was of much greater honor and responsibility than now.
One more pause, this time by the roadside near Boar's Head, where a mysterious relic of antiquity which was ex- humed not far away has been erected. It is a stone with three crosses rudely cut upon it, and is supposed to have marked the grave of THORWALD ERICSSON, who, according to the Icelandic Sagas, sailed along the northern New England shore A.D. 1004. He and his crew made a land- ing, but soon he was mortally wounded by a poisoned arrow shot by an Indian. At his request he was buried in a place whose description tallies with Great Boar's Head, for even in 1638 the settlers found the point heavily wooded and extending out into the ocean a quarter of a mile farther than at present.

One of the choicest centres of our pride and interest is
DARTMOUTH COLLEGE IN HANOVER.
Its founder and first President, with his wife, rest from earth's cares in a large tomb with two covering slabs laid side by side.
Upon one is:
Hic quiescit corpus ELEAZAR WHEELOCK S. T. D.
Academici Morensis, Collegii Dartmouthensis Fundatoris, et primi praesidis. Evangelio barbaros indomuit; Et excultis nova scientifice patefecit. Viator, I, et imitare, Si poteris, Tanta meritorum proemia laturus. MDCCX natus, MDCCLXXIX obiit.
Here rests the body of ELEAZAR WHEELOCK S.T.D. Founder and first president of Dartmouth College, and Moor's Charity School.
By the gospel he subdued the ferocity of the savages;
And to the civilized he opened new paths of science. Traveler, Go, if you can, and deserve The sublime rewards of such merit.
He was born in the year 1710; and died in 1779.
Pietate filii Johannis Wheelock Hoc monumentum constructum inscriptumque fuit. Anno MDCCLXXX.

HOLLIS
The companion stone is rather profusely ornamented and bears upon it
Consecrated to the memory of MARY, Of the family of Brinsmead in Milford, Connecticut, And consort of Eleazar Wheelock, S. T. D. President of Dartmouth College, &c.
She lived in the fear of God, And in the lively exercise of the Christian virtues, till her departure, in 1783. Anno aetatis 69.
Their son, JOHN WHEELOCK, was in the first graduating class of the College. Although but twenty-five years old, at the death of his father, he was chosen President and held the position for over thirty years, with honor both to the Institution and himself. His mortal life began January 28, 1754, and ended April 1, 1817.
In the old town of
HOLLIS,
the Nisitisset of the Indians, there is a table-tomb, that most beautiful of ancient sepulchral memorials. Upon the large stone is expressed deep appreciation of the ability and character of REV. DANIEL EMERSON, the beloved minis- ter of the town for fifty years, whose "praise was in all the Churches." He was born May 20, 1716, and "fell asleep in Jesus Sept. 30. 1801."
In the midst of his pastorate (1755) he obtained permis- sion to accompany Colonel Blanchard's regiment to Crown
22
THE COLONIAL DEAD
Point as chaplain. When the regiment was ordered to "present arms," he, with his keen, benevolent face aglow, presented his - the Bible.
There is also a long eulogy of the Rev. Emerson's wife, HANNAH, a daughter of Rev. Joseph Emerson, of Malden, who passed beyond February 28, 1812, aged 90.
The attractive city of
KEENE
(formerly Ashuelot, one of the most flourishing post-towns in Cheshire County), adopted its present name in 1753.
The Washington Street Cemetery is rich in mortuary inscriptions; but the most pathetic is the couplet at the grave of MRS. ELIZABETH BLAKE, wife of Nathan, who entered into rest July 19, 1804, at the age of 83.
" Let me not forgotten lie Lest you forget that you must die."
JUDGE DANIEL NEWCOMB (1746-1818) was a man of power and held in high esteem.
"He neither sought nor declined honours."
His wife, SARAH, daughter of Rev. David Stearns, of Lu- nenburg, was only 38 years old when, on the thirteenth of November, 1796, she put on immortality.
" How loved, how valued once avails thee not, To whom related, nor by whom begot, A heap of dust alone remains of thee, 'T is all thou art and what we all must be."
Madam Whitney was "the most cultured and the most
23
MANCHESTER
looked up to woman of her time in this vicinity." From her monument we transcribe
"MEMENTO MORI.
This stone is erected to perpetuate the memory of MADAM RUTH WHITNEY
who departed this life in the 72nd year of her age. She was married successively to the Rev. David Stearns of Lunenburg, and to the Rev Aaron Whitney of Petersham, both of whom she survived.
For diligence, patience, piety and knowledge she was eminently distinguished. As this stone cannot tell all her virtues suffice it to say, that as a wife she was prudent and faithful, as a mother discreet and tender, as a neighbor friendly and charitable, as a Christian intelligent and exemplary. A life thus spent terminated with composure on the first of November 1788.
The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance."
MANCHESTER,
New Hampshire's "Queen City," is sadly deficient in Colonial honors, for she had birth only in 1810 (the little hamlet of Derryfield (1751) having been her forerunner). Not many more than a score of Colonists find rest within her borders, but the view from the Weston Observatory, in Derryfield Park would gladden their hearts with its ful- filment of their fond dreams while enduring hardships and braving dangers in the unfriendly wilderness. From there, although Manchester's population is more than seventy thousand, the city looks like a small forest pierced by church spires, with factories and long rows of houses extending out in different directions suggestive of a knotted fringe blown irregularly about. Massive mill buildings, having a capacity of manufacturing more than fifty miles of cloth

THE COLONIAL DEAD
per hour, press down to drink water from the broad river which is concealed by trees and high banks.
Then, looking beyond and slowly turning around, are seen range after range of mountains seemingly coming out from the dimness of space in glad welcoming, forests in har- monious array of color, white farm-houses nestling under great shade trees surrounded by orchards and fields rich in unharvested products, green pastures with herds of contented-looking cows, roads scattered about like en- tangled binding threads, limpid lakes giving expression to the landscape as eyes do to the face, the blue sky above where a few floating clouds supply motion to the scene as their shadows flee along to escape the sunshine. It mat- ters not what names these bear. Names pin one down to earth. One stands enraptured, with uplifted soul expand- ing until in close, harmonious touch with the Creator. It is in such a moment that the fulness of the glory of our inheritance is revealed - and appreciated. (Pardon the digression.)
There are other parks, large and small, many in number, but Stark Park is her pride. In its midst a group of the Stark family graves are neatly enclosed upon the arrested slope of a hill, embowered in lofty trees and overlooking the gently flowing Merrimack. The oldest occupants were the parents of the "hero of Bennington," ARCHIBALD STARK (1689-1750) and his wife, ELEANOR NICHOLS (1680-1740). Near them lie the distinguished MAJOR- GENERAL JOHN STARK (1728-1822) and his wife ELIZABETH PAGE (1734-1794). General Stark's life was an eventful one, and he holds a warm place in our esteem because
25
NASHUA
of his prominence in attaining our country's indepen- dence.
In the Valley Cemetery a large monument was erected in 1868 by Joseph Henry Stickney, of Baltimore, Md., in memory of his great-grandfather, HON. SAMUEL BLODGETT (born April 1, 1724; died Sept. 1, 1807), who was "The Pioneer of internal Improvements in New Hampshire. The Projector and Builder of the Amoskeag Canal." This canal has proven to be the foundation power for present marvellous textile developments.
There is an especially attractive churchyard about four or five miles below the business centre of the city of
NASHUA.
It is upon a hillside sloping toward the roadway and checked by a high "bank-wall" which gives it an air of aloof- ness from the present day's frivolities. In one corner is a memorial designating the site of the old church. Elaborate carvings abound, oftentimes to the embarrassment of in- scriptions, and "Remember death" occasionally sup- plants "Memento mori."
From among them two have been selected:
"MEMENTO MORI. "MEMENTO MORI. Here lies

From the epitaphs are proffered:
DEA. JONATHAN BANCROFT, entered eternity July II. 1815 a. 64.
"Surviving friends come take a thought How soon the grave must be your lot. Make sure of Christ while life remain And Death will be eternal gain."
MR. THOMAS LUND d. Sept ye 5th 1724, in ye 42d year of his Age.
"this Man with Seven more that lies in this Grave was Slew All in A day by the Indians."
A monument was erected by the citizens of Nashua in 1876 in memory of
"REV THOMAS WELD Born June 1653 Settled as the first minister of the church in Dunstable Dec. 1685. Probably massacred by the Indians while defending the settlement June 7. 1702. ÆT 49."
In early days the town was known as Dunstable.
PORTSMOUTH,
the metropolis of our forefathers and most illustrious of the early settlements, is rich in famous Colonial mansions whose interiors are even more attractive than their ex- teriors, so full are they of heirlooms of antique furniture with delicate carvings or exquisite inlaid work, of
27
PORTSMOUTH
historic garments, and curious bric-à-brac, handed down from those whose graves we are about to visit. The light- ning rod upon the Warner house was placed there under the personal supervision of Benjamin Franklin in 1762, and is still in perfect condition. Especially beautiful is the stairway and wainscotting in the historic Ladd house, which the descendants of the original owner have so generously given for the use of the New Hampshire Dames. It is considered eminently fit that the Dames of to-day should have their Manor House in the old capital.
There are several ancient burying-grounds in Ports- mouth, but we will glean first from the oldest,
" The Point of Graves."
Originally it was a portion of the large estate of JOHN PICKERING, who in 1636 came to Strawberry Bank (the first name of Portsmouth, so called because of the abund- ance of luscious strawberries). He was an influential man in his day and was buried here in 1669, but there is no trace of his grave.
The earliest record discovered is that of JOHN CLARK. The letter r is entirely obliterated, and also the two first figures of 1667, which is doubtless the date of his life's end.
The massive sarcophagus erected by descendants of the VAUGHAN family is well worth studying. Upon the four sides a history of the earlier members is traced, and the crowning headstone is the original one, more than two cen- turies old. It was a family active in Colonial affairs through several generations. MAJOR WILLIAM VAUGHAN (d. 1719)
28
THE COLONIAL DEAD
was prominent in the first; his son, LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR GEORGE VAUGHAN (1676-1724), in the second; and in the third generation, LIEUTENANT-COLONEL WILLIAM VAUGHAN (1703-1746) projected and successfully led the assaulting column at Louisburg in 1745.
There is a dearth of epitaphs, the only one we have to proffer being upon a large headstone where a skull and cross- bones are prominent. Upon the willow-sheltered urn is inscribed: "In memory of CAPT. TOBIAS LEAR. ob. Nov. 6, 1781, Æ 45," and upon its base:
" A wit's a feather. A chief a rod.
An honest man is the noblest work of God."
CAPTAIN TOBIAS LEAR and his wife ELIZABETH (d. July 21, 1774, a. 58) were parents of Tobias Lear, the highly esteemed private secretary of George Washington.
"Here Lyeth Buried ye Body of JOHN JACKSON aged 33 years Dyed Jan. ye 26. 1690 " is inscribed upon a disk in the centre of a stone having a broad, deeply cut border, and corners filled with cherubs' heads. Indeed, heads wear- ing a variety of expressions, with drooping or upsoaring wings, as well as the grim death's-head and cross-bones, were favorite features of ancient sepulchral art here. Time's touches do not improve them.
Another of God's chosen spots, nearly as old as the Point of Graves is
"St. John's Churchyard."
Within it is "a great silent assemblage of Governors,
29
PORTSMOUTH
councillors, secretaries of the Province and their ladies, with others of less renown." Tombs of the famous ATKIN- SON, JAFFREY, MARSH, PIERCE, RYMES, SHEAFE, SHER- BURNE, and WENTWORTH families, together with others of more recent date, are found here. The mausoleum in the centre is called the GOVERNOR's TOMB, where the Went- worth governors (with the exception of the last one) repose in death. The REV. ARTHUR BROWNE's body was also laid there.
" The heart that felt for others woes. The earth beneath does not enclose. The soul we trust with God at rest, Happy now among the blest"
is the sweet tribute to MRS. ELIZABETH GARDNER, who exchanged mortal for an immortal state July 22, 1818, aged 60.
HON. JOHN LANGDON, LL.D., the first President of our Province and several times Governor, departed this life September 18, 1819, at the age of 78.
"Of honest stock, courage and wisdom crowned The man who still good as he looked was found, Whom all its honors to his Country bound, Best of the best in his New England home."
The inscription at the burial-place of MR. PARROTT by the side of his brother, Admiral Parrott, is so uncommon that, although modern, we copy it.
"Near those dear to him the sensible warm motion of JAMES BRACKETT PARROTT, born Nov. 26. 1817- chilled by death Jan 29. 1890. here thaws and resolves itself back to earth, the common mother of mankind."

THE COLONIAL DEAD
St. John's Church, around which the graves cluster, was erected upon the site of Queen's Chapel, which was built in 1732, and destroyed by fire in 1806. Queen Caroline's gift of two chairs, a handsome Bible, some prayer-books, and a silver communion service for the little chapel, which was named in her honor, were all saved from the flames with the exception of one chair. Entering the church we are courteously shown its choice historic treasures - the mas- sive silver with the royal arms engraved upon each piece, the famous "Vinegar Bible" (one of the four copies extant), fine old vestments too tender from age to be handled, the font of porphyry with its delicate veining, taken from the French by Colonel John Tufton-Mason at the capture of Senegal in 1758, and supposed to be more than a thousand years old. On each Sunday twelve delicious loaves of bread, neatly covered by a napkin, are placed upon the font in conformity to the bequest in the will of COLONEL THEO- DORE ATKINSON, providing that the income of the legacy should be used in doling out a portion of bread each Lord's day to the poor of the parish. Especially attractive to us are the numerous mural tablets. The first at the right of the chancel is in memory of JAMES SHEAFE:
"For many years a venerated inhabitant of this town & a con- stant worshipper in this Church. Endowed with a strong mind cultivated by a liberal education, he adorned every walk of life in which he appeared. A judicious & successful Merchant. A dis- tinguished member in succession of the Legislative Councils of his own State & of the Nation. He was a wise counsellor, a benevolent and useful citizen. An exemplary Christian, and in the various relations of life Upright, Dignified, Honorable & Beloved. He de- parted this life 5th of Dec. 1829 aged 74 years. His widow & child-
3I
ODIORNE'S POINT
ren, actuated by deep affection & veneration, have erected this me- morial."
Beside it is that of WILLIAM GARDNER, who died April 29, 1834, aged 83. He was
" An honest man, a friend to this Church, and a sincere liberal patriot."
MATTHEW SHEAFE MARSH, EsQ., who passed into the great beyond June 2, 1814, aged 41, is also remembered with appreciative affection.
At the left of the chancel is a tablet in memory of THOMAS LANGDON ELWYN, ESQUIRE (d. Mch. 22, 1816, a. 48) "distinguished for his acuteness, eloquence and classi- cal accomplishments." He was son-in-law of Governor Langdon.
On the south wall is a flattering tribute to REUBEN SHAPLEY, EsQ., and upon the west wall is the following epitaph for HON. ELIJAH HALL, who was freed from mortal cares June 22, 1830, at the age of 84:
"As officer of the Ranger under Capt. J Paul Jones; a Merchant; a Representative, Senator and Councillor of this State; As Naval Officer; Member of this Church, and in his other relations he sus- tained the character of a Patriot and an upright Man."
Those upon the north wall are non-colonial.
Within Portsmouth's boundary is
ODIORNE'S POINT,
a precious spot to New Hampshire dwellers, - our Ply- mouth Rock as it were, - for there the little band sent from England by the Laconia Company landed in 1623,
32
THE COLONIAL DEAD
and to them belongs the honor of building the first house in our State. The New Hampshire Colonial Dames have erected a handsome monument commemorative of the land- ing.
The western portion of the well-walled-in enclosure near- by is used as a family burying-ground, but in the remainder are about forty graves "that softly swell - green voiceless waves that will not break though tempest rage." These are designated only by mute, rough stones, but it is comforting to see that the same tender care is bestowed upon all of these unseen abodes, whether they be tenanted by loved ones from the proprietor's own family, or by those who have been unknown through nearly three centuries.
In a desolate corner of an old orchard in the neighbor- ing town of
RYE
is one of the most pathetic of all depositories of the dead, where more than a score were placed unmarked save by two cobble-stones, the larger at the head and the smaller at the foot, with no inscription whatever, but powerfully impressive in their suggestiveness. The hearts which held the records so earnestly desired by us have long since ceased to ache, and no legend remains to break the disheartening silence. Kind Dame Nature carefully remembers to keep the stones enriched by delicate mosses.
Just one more mention. We desire to call attention to an object of peculiar interest near the roadway about a mile from the village in
33
TAMWORTH
TAMWORTH
It is an immense boulder eighteen feet high by about forty feet in length and width called
ORDINATION ROCK.
Its summit gave ample space for the solemn ordination service of REV. SAMUEL HIDDEN to the pastorate of the Tamworth Congregational Church on the 2nd of Septem- ber, 1792. So faithfully and acceptably did he go in and out among his flock that the tie was severed only by his death February 13th, 1837, at the age of 77. This appro- priate epitaph was chosen:
" He came into a wilderness and left it a beautiful field."
There is now a marble monument surmounting the boulder and substantial steps by its side.
We wish your first view of the spot might be when it is flooded with the glory of the setting sun's good-night smile, while clouds and sky catch the radiance and add their glow of sympathetic brilliancy. It is like a joyous benediction upon his memory and work.
