In this old burying-ground on Washington Street have been buried many of our friends that we like to keep in remembrance; and among them the name of one who, while in life, said the last words at the grave of more of the dead lying here than any man now living-the Rev. Dr. Z. S. Barstow, who for fifty years was the pastor of the old Congregational Church. The inscription on his tombstone tells the whole story better than I could do it. Also may be found the name of Deacon Elijah Carter, one of Dr. Barstow's good deacons; also of the Hon. Ith'r Chase, the father (I have been told) of the late Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase. All, I think (that ever knew her), will agree with me in saying that the line on the monument of Miss Eliza Carter was strictly true. Although she had passed her three-score years and ten, " She was always young." The names of Hon. Levi Chamberlain, the two Dinsmoors (Samuel and Samuel, Jr.), Lieutenant Charles B. Dan- iels, who gave his life for his country, Miss Catherine Fiske, the founder of Keene Female Seminary, and many other names that we have known and respected will be found in this number. Also the name of Miss Lydie Beals,
aged one hundred and two years, the oldest in this burying-ground.

" Stay, thoughtful mourner, hither led To weep and mingle with the dead ;
Pity the maid who slumbers here,
And pay the tributary tear.
Thy feet must wander far to find
A fairer form, a lovelier mind,
An eye that beams a sweeter smile,
A bosom more estranged from guile,
A heart with kinder passions warm,
A life with fewer stains deformed,
A death with deeper sighs confess'd
A memory more beloved and bless'd."
Here will be found many old, familiar names; among them, that of Betsey Nurss Leonard, who was born only two years later than the organization of the town of Keene, 1755, and lived to be more than one hundred years old. I remember her as a very pleasant old lady. Mrs. Houghton, her daughter, is still living on Court Street. Mrs. Leonard on her one hun- dredth anniversary received her friends. Elijah Knight, Esq., kept the old tavern now owned by Miss Kate Tyler, on Court Street. When I was a boy he died in the Fuller house, on Washington Street. Stephen Harrington and his son, Asaph, both were model hotel-keepers, and known everywhere. Stephen Harrington was born in Lexington, Mass., only six months after the battle, in 1775.
