The repairs were completed March 1, 1860, on which day the society held a meeting, and adopted the following resolu- tion :
" Resolved, That this society hereby tender to Mr. Peter Johnson their hearty approbation of the thorough and faithful manner in which he has fulfilled his engagement in the recent repair of their house."
The house was occupied for the first time, after the repairs were made, on the first Sabbath, being the first day of April, and the services had reference to a rededication.
The house will compare favorably with almost any church edifice in a rural district. A new bell, weighing eighteen hundred pounds, has recently been hung in the tower.
The Roman Catholics have a neat church edifice here, built in 1859, under the superintendence of Rev. Charles J. Boylan,

BURYING GROUNDS.
There are four burying grounds in the town. The first was laid out in 1785, though it is evident that the proprietors intended that ground for burial purposes long before it was regularly laid out, as it was thus used almost from the first instance of mortality in the township. The inclosure contains two acres, and is located on the west side of the road southwest of the Baptist meeting house. It is not known whose remains were first interred there, but the oldest head stone we can find bears this inscription : " In memory of Hannah Drury, wife of Ebenezer Drury, who died Dec. 12, 1777, in the 35th year of her age."
There was a burying ground, at a very early day, on the west side of the Creek, on land formerly owned by James Hopkins. It was situated on the east side of the road, some six or eight rods north of the three fragments of a large boulder, which are conspicuously seen from the road. This land was given by Mr. Hopkins to the people of the town for burial purposes, or, at least, it was so understood at the time it was began to be used by them for such purposes. At what time it was given, or when the first interment was made in it, is not known, though there is an allusion to it upon the records as early as 1785. A tradition makes this the oldest burying ground in the town, though we have reason to doubt its truthfulness. There were interred here the remains of members of the Waters, Sheldon, Lake, Mead and Stevens families, and, possibly, the remains of individuals of other
672

families. The last interment there was that of a child of Daniel Stevens, about the year 1803.
When the farm, of which this ground was a part, passed out of Mr. Hopkins' hands, no reservation was made of it.
Consequently, Mr. Hopkins' successors have claimed it as a part of their property, and used it accordingly. It is now claimed by G. and L. Hendee, as a part of the Buck farm, which they purchased a few years since. The head-stones have all been removed, the mounds leveled, and not a vestige of the graves is now to be seen.
The third burying ground was laid out in 1793. On the 4th of March in that year, the town " voted to lay out a bury- ing place northeast of the meeting house plot, on the town plot.
" Chose Benjamin Cooley, Thomas Hammond, Noah Hop- kins, William Cox and Samuel Copley a committee to lay out a burying place."
This committee laid out the ground in accordance with their instructions, and at the annual meeting in March, 1794, the town instructed the selectmen to fence the burying ground. Small appropriations have occasionally been made for repairing the fences, but no great amount has ever been expended in improvements upon the place. The first interment in this yard was in 1793, very soon after it was laid out, but it is not certainly known whose the remains were. The first head-stone put up here bears the following inscription : " In memory of Sally Hammond, daughter of Capt. Thomas Hammond and Mrs. Hannah, his wife, who died September 22d, 1793, in the 9th year of her age."
The next oldest head-stone bears this inscription : " In memory of William Cox, Jr., son of Mr. William Cox and Mrs. Beulah Cox, who died Nov. 29, 1793, aged 13 years, 6 months and 26 days.

Death must be paid when God doth call, As I have paid it so must all ; And when you this memorial see, Prepare for death and follow me."
On the 2d day of March, 1857, an association composed of a large number of the citizens of the town was formed, and took the name of the Cemetery Association. They organized by the choice of David Hall, President ; T. F. Bogue and C. T. Colburn, Vice Presidents ; Siloe Dunklee, Treasurer ; Jeremiah Powers, Henry F. Lothrop, Charles Hitchcock, Cyrus Dike, William B. Shaw, George B. Armington, Samuel H. Kellogg, Trustees.
This association, by its trustees, purchased the Hill lot, con- sisting of six acres, a little distance east of the village, for a cemetery. In the following autumn the association applied to the General Assembly for an act of incorporation, which was granted on the 24th day of November, and is as follows :
" It is hereby enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Vermont, as follows :
Section 1. David Hall, George B. Armington, Jeremiah Powers, Cyrus Dike, Charles Hitchcock, Henry F. Lothrop, William B. Shaw, Thomas F. Bogue, Samuel H. Kellogg, Charles T. Colburn, Benjamin F. Winslow, William F. Man- ley, Roswell Woodcock, Royal Hall and Thomas A. Hitch- cock, their associates and successors, are hereby constituted a corporation by the name of the Pittsford Cemetery Association, and by that name may sue and be sued, may have a common seal, and enjoy all the privileges incident to corporations.
Section 2. Such corporation may take a deed of, and hold the lands already purchased and in the hands of the trustees, to wit : six acres situated in said Pittsford, to be held and occupied for a cemetery for the burial of the dead, and for no other purpose. Such association may also purchase or take by gift, and hold personal property to such an amount as may be

necessary for carrying out the objects contemplated in this act, and no other, and may keep or sell the same, and apply the proceeds to promote the objects of the association. The asso- ciation may also hold any real estate by gift.
Section 3. The officers of the association shall be a presi- dent, secretary, treasurer, and a board of five trustees, who shall be elected at the annual meeting, and hold their several offices one year, and until others are chosen in their place.
Section 4. The affairs and property of the said association shall be managed by the board of trustees, a majority of whom shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The trustees shall have power to call special meetings of the associ- ation, and they shall require security of the treasurer for the faithful discharge of the duties of his office.
Section 5. The first meeting of the corporation shall be holden at the Sons' Hall, in Pittsford, at such time as a majority of the persons named in the first section of this act shall appoint and reasonably notify; at which meeting the officers named in section three shall be appointed ; and at such meeting, or any subsequent meeting duly called by the trustees, they may adopt such by-laws, rules and regulations as may be thought necessary to promote the objects of the association, not inconsistent with the laws of this State.
Section 6. The land which may be held for a cemetery, or such portion thereof as may from time to time be, in the opinion of the trustees, required for that purpose, shall be sur- veyed and laid in the manner already contemplated by the association into lots, avenues, walks, alleys and open areas, of such size and form as the trustees may direct, and a plan or plans thereof shall be made from time to time by the direction of the trustees, and filed in the town clerk's office in Pittsford. After such plan or plans shall have been so filed, the trustees may convey the lots already sold, and may sell and convey all the lots so designated on such plan or plans for the sum of not
675
BURYING GROUNDS.
less than six dollars for each single lot. And every convey- ance of any such lot shall be expressly for burial purposes, and no other, and shall be in the corporate name of the association, and executed by the president thereof.
Section 7. There shall be an annual meeting of the corpor- ation at such time and place as the by-laws may prescribe, at which the officers and trustees shall be elected, the by-laws of the corporation made, altered or amended, and no assessments upon the lots of members shall be voted except at the annual meeting.
Section 8. Every person who shall be a proprietor of a lot in the cemetery of the association, or if there be more than one proprietor of such lot, then such one of such proprietors as a majority of the joint proprietors shall designate to repre- sent such lot, may vote at the meeting of the corporation. Each person shall be entitled to one vote for each lot he may own. The persons receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared elected officers and trustees. In all elections, after the first, the officers and trustees shall be chosen from among the proprietors of the lots in such cemetery. The trustees shall have power to fill vacancies occurring during their term of office.
Section 9. The corporation may, by vote, assess a tax not exceeding fifty cents in any one year, upon each lot in the cemetery of the corporation. If any proprietor or proprietors refuse to pay the tax so assessed, the corporation may sue for and collect the same with costs. If there be more than one proprietor of a lot, the corporation may sue either or all the proprietors of such lot for the tax assessed thereon. Provided, no assessment shall be made upon the lots, unless notice thereof be inserted in the warning for the annual meeting.
Section 10. The proceeds arising from the sale of lots in such cemetery, as well as from the assessments of taxes voted upon such lots, shall be applied to the payment of any debts

incurred by the corporation in the purchase of cemetery grounds and property, in fencing, improving, planting trees and embel- lishing such grounds and the avenues leading thereto, in pro- viding suitable conveniences for the burial of the dead, and in defraying the necessary expenses in the care and management of the same, and for no other purpose.
Section 11. The trustees shall, at each annual meeting, make a written statement of their doings, and of the affairs of the association, and a minute account of the receipts and expenses of the preceding year.
Section 12. Each proprietor of a lot shall be deemed to own and hold the same in fee simple to him and his heirs for- ever, to use the same for the burial of the dead, and for no other purpose whatever ; and subject to such conditions, restric- tions and regulations as the corporation or trustees may from time to time see fit to adopt. Each member of the corporation may also have access to, and may use the grounds, paths, walks and roads of the cemetery at all reasonable times, subject to such restrictions and regulations as the corporation or trustees may prescribe.
Section 13. The corporation or the trustees may adopt, from time to time, such rules and regulations as they may deem necessary to preserve propriety, solemnity and good order in the use of the cemetery ; to promote good taste, neatness and beauty in the embellishment of the grounds, ornaments, inscrip- tions and works of any kind ; but no rules or regulations shall be adopted to restrain any proprietor of, a lot in the free exer- cise or enjoyment of his religious sentiments as to the burial of the dead, or in the ornamenting of his own lot.
Section 14. The cemetery lands, structures and property of the corporation shall be exempt from all public taxes, as, also, the lots of the proprietors; nor shall the lots be liable to be sold or levied upon by execution, or to be applied in payment of debts of the individual proprietors ; but the proprietors of
677
BURYING GROUNDS.
lots in such cemetery, their heirs or legal representatives, may hold the same and all structures and monuments thereon exempt therefrom, so long as the same shall remain appropri- ated to the use of a cemetery. And during that time no street or highway shall be laid out through such cemetery, or any part thereof, without the consent of the corporation."
At a meeting on the 5th of December, the association " voted to accept the act of incorporation as the constitution of the association, and chose the following officers :
David Hall, President. William F. Manley, Secretary. . John W. Dunklee, Treasurer. Henry F. Lothrop, Cyrus Dike, Charles Hitchcock, Jeremiah Powers, S. B. Loveland,
Trustees."

The corporation has tastefully laid out and improved the grounds of the cemetery, so that it is now a beautiful spot for the purpose to which it has been consecrated.
On the 4th of July next after the purchase of the lot, and after some improvements had been made upon it, public dedi- catory services were held thereon, which consisted of an able address by George Leon Walker, a dedicatory prayer by Rev. Charles Walker, D. D., and the singing of the following hymn, composed for the occasion by the orator, G. L. Walker:
"O, Thou to whose eternal years No grief, or loss, or change is known ; We hallow here, our place of tears, For death that dwells with us alone.
Here hearts that bleed will sadly turn ; Here pity fill the drooping eye, And strieken hope with love will yearn O'er us who fade away and die.
678
HISTORY OF PITTSFORD.
Yet they who weep, and they who rest, Alike are known and near to Thee ; And they are dearer to Thy breast Than to our hearts they e're can be.
Bless, then, this spot, where years shall bring Thy loved ones, Lord, to their repose ; Spread o'er them here Thy sheltering wing, And in Thy peace their dust enclose.
So shall this place of tears be made The hill of hope, the field of peace. -
Here calmly then can we be laid To wait the hour when time shall cease.
And when these bending skies have flown, And all who sleep shall rise again,
Be this the garner of Thine own, The harvest of the precious grain.
Take Thou this hill, it first was thine ; From earthly use these bonnds we free ; To nobler sheaves its roods resign, And give it, Lord, again to Thee."
The first interment in the cemetery was made in the after- noon of the 4th of July, 1857, immediately after its dedication. The remains interred were those of Richard Montgomery Powers, who died Feb. 15, 1848, and was buried on the home farm. His remains were removed to this cemetery at the time above mentioned.
The questions are often asked : "Who was the first per- son born in this town ? " and " Who was the first person that died?" The former question is more easily answered than the latter.
Gen. Hendee, who is good authority upon such a subject, says, " The first white child born in this town was a daughter to Felix Powell, but it did not live long." He also says that " the first male child born in town was Alfred Buck." * At what time the daughter was born to Felix Powell we have no means of knowing. Alfred Buck was born March 28, 1771.
* Hendee's MS.
679
BURYING GROUNDS.
Effort has been made to ascertain the name of the person who first died in the town, but without success. The child of Felix Powell, already mentioned, died early, and possibly that was the first instance of mortality among the early settlers. Gen. Hendee, some years before his death, gave a lecture* here on the early history of the town. In that lecture he gave the name of the first adult who died in the town, and stated that in consequence of there being no boards at hand, the remains of the person were wrapped in a blanket, and buried without a coffin. The manner of the burial is remembered, but the name of the person is forgotten.
Three persons, David Crippen (the father of David, Jr., and Darius), John Marshall and Isaac Rood, disappeared from the records at a very early day, and of the two former we can obtain no information. We are assured, however, that the last named person died in this town. Gen. Hendee says : " Isaac Rood came into this town in the early settlement, and died soon after on my father's farm." Again he says : "Isaac Rood and wife were living in this town before the Revolutionary war, but Mr. Rood died soon." t
If Mr. Rood was not the first person who died in this town, he was certainly almost the first.
* This lecture was not written.

The Proprietors' Records, prior to 1770, are not to be found, conse- quently we have no knowledge of any of their officers earlier than that period. In 1817, the proprietors transferred their records and interest in the township to the town, and all land-pitches and title-deeds afterwards were recorded by the town clerk.
Benjamin Cooley was town clerk from March, 1790,* to March, 1800 ; Caleb Hendee, Jr., from March, 1800, to March, 1826, excepting one year ;} Samuel H. Kellogg from March, 1826, to the present time.
