The inscriptions here recorded, including the names upon the iron markers, provided by the town, mark 1116 graves. To these monumental inscriptions we have appended the names (with a dagger ; prefixed to each) of persons who have recently died, at whose graves headstones had not been set as these pages went to press. There are twenty of these which have come to our notice, making, in all, 1136 graves identified. There are probably two or three hundred graves in the cemetery which have never been marked. Some of these can probably be iden- tified, as they would be in the same burial lots as those of other members of the same families. There are a few families whose
440
HISTORY OF DUBLIN
burial lots cannot be discovered, as no markers indicate where any of their bodies were buried. The erection of such memorials is a sacred duty which ought not to be neglected. The graves of young infants have been too frequently unmarked. In olden times, the reprehensible custom prevailed to some extent of burying young children on the farms of their parents, as if they were of too little account to be buried with any ceremony. Burials on farms are always inadvisable, because, in our coun- try, especially, farms change owners so frequently that such private burial lots would become neglected.
This cemetery is the only one which was ever located within the limits of Dublin, excepting the Derby and Symonds family burial lots, of which we take note in the following notice of the Chesham cemetery. Since the new town of Harrisville was formed, a cemetery has been established near Chesham station. The cemetery at the village of Harrisville, before the incor- poration of that town, was just north of the town line, in Nelson. There is a cemetery in the north-east corner of Marlborough, in which were buried the bodies of certain persons who had lived in the north-west part of what was then Dublin.
As readers who look through these inscriptions, searching for those of former Dublin acquaintances, might have in mind the names of certain old residents whose bodies were buried in one or another of these cemeteries, we have deemed it best to sup- plement these inscriptions from the old Dublin cemetery with a few abridged inscriptions from the headstones at the graves of a few old residents which we have found in other cemeteries. We cannot claim that the list is complete. It comprises those which we have chanced to observe in our visits to these cem- eteries.
CEMETERY IN NORTH-EAST PART OF MARLBOROUGH
In a visit to this cemetery, we observed the following in- scriptions, which we have abridged, at the graves of persons who were residents of the former town of Dublin.

CHESHAM CEMETERY
In the cemetery near the station at Chesham are buried the bodies of certain persons who lived in Dublin before the northern part of that town was included in Harrisville, and of others directly connected with families who were then living in Dub- lin. The families of Sherman Derby and Sylvester T. Symonds had private cemeteries on their estates. Each contained the bodies of several persons who died before Harrisville was in- corporated. Those bodies have all been transferred to the Ches- ham cemetery, which was established after Harrisville became a town. The following inscriptions, probably not a complete list, will be of interest to those readers who were acquainted with the old families in this part of the original town of Dublin. In two or three cases, headstones had not been set, but were expected to be in place soon. The following are the inscriptions which we copied on a visit to this cemetery :

HARRISVILLE CEMETERY
The cemetery in the village of Harrisville was set apart for that purpose before the incorporation of that town. There had been a few burials there of the bodies of persons who had been Dublin residents before the latter town was divided. The per- sons whose graves are here noted either lived in Dublin or were connected with families which had prominent business interests in that town. The list is doubtless incomplete. The writer was aided in his search by Mr. Herman D. Thayer of Harrisville.

CHAPTER X
POPULATION. STATISTICS
A CENSUS of the inhabitants of New Hampshire was taken in 1775. The population of Dublin at that time was 305. Among papers left by Deacon Eli Morse, there is one contain- ing the particulars of the census in question. Unfortunately a part of it is torn off; but enough is preserved to show that there were then forty-eight families in Dublin, in which were forty-six married females, and sixty-nine unmarried. The number of males, therefore, must have been 190.1 So far as appears, only one man, Thomas Morse, was over sixty years of age. Against the name of Gardner Towne is the follow- ing record: "slave, one." The slave's name was Caesar Free- man. Some of his descendants have been town paupers. Mr. Towne gave Caesar his freedom on the day that he was twenty-one years of age, July 8, 1790.
