The obituary list for 1836, '37, '38 and '39, is by no means so reliable and satisfactory as that of the preceding and suc- ceeding years. Mr. Hill, in those years, not being in the active pastoral charge of the church, and being employed much of the time in other places, did not keep, in 1836 and 1837, so perfect a record as had been his custom in former years. His record is all that can be found of those years, and it is given in form as he left it, except that some names and dates, made certain by examination, have been added. For the purposes of this work, a careful personal examination has been made of every monumental headstone in each of the two ancient graveyards, and many corrections have been made in dates and in errors, and omissions of names; and some names, not found in the original entries, have been added from memoranda thus made.
For the years 1838 and 1839, no record has been found, but the want of it has been supplied, as well as can be done, by reference to the minutes, &c., kept by the several sextons, and by personal inquiries of individuals. The list is undoubt- edly deficient, and probably may by incorrect as to dates, but it is given as the best that can now be procured.
It is not improbable, that with all the care that has been bestowed upon this list, errors and omissions may be found. It should be borne in mind that, during the whole period embraced in the obituary record in this volume, there was no law requiring any returns to be made to any officer, or pro- viding for any record to be kept, of deaths occurring. It is believed that few towns in New England can show so com- plete an obituary list for the period of one hundred years as that presented in this volume. In this list, will be found the

HISTORY OF MASON.
names of some persons not inhabitants of the town, but tem- porarily residing therein, at the time of their decease. Also, of some, inhabitants of the town who died in other places, but were buried in Mason; and of some, who died in Mason, but were buried in other places. In Mr. Hill's record, the death of Mr. Eliab Knapp is entered under date of October 26, 1816. The date on his monument is October 23, 1815. The date on the monument, although probably erroneous, is adopted in the list. To this list should also be added the following : Taylor Fay, died at New Ipswich, in March, 1840, aged 48 years; Mrs. Larkin, died at Manchester, in January, 1841; and John Sawtell, Jr., aged 32 years, killed by the bursting of a grindstone at Millbury, Mass., February 14, 1841 ; all natives of Mason and buried there. It is not improbable that, with all the care that has been bestowed in preparing this obituary list, there will be found in it errors in names, dates, and ages. Any such, if discovered, should be excused, in consideration of the great number of the names, dates, &c., and the fact that the work was prepared and printed at the distance of two hundred and fifty miles from the locality to which it refers.
In the record kept by Mr. Hill, the discase or cause of death is, in most instances, stated; but as the principal use that could be made of such entries is secured in the table of ages, diseases, &c., to be found in this book, it was thought that the space required would not be compensated for by the insertion of these items. In the record of deaths, a few abbreviations are used, to be explained as follows : In. infant, c. child, s. son, d. daughter, w. wife, y. m. d., years, months, days. 1
