That noble form, so proud, so calmly bold, Shall make its last sad resting place amid The scenes he long had loved and cherished, Within the State o'er which he was a Ruler.


Here will we lay his mortal frame in the grave. which he would have chosen, in front of the temple which he built to the glory of God, and in the midst of the proofs of what he had done for man. The associations of this hour shall henceforth invest the spot. Business and travel shail own its sanctity, and time shall guard it with watchful reverence."


Hon. Heman Carpenter said in his eulo- gy on him, at a meeting of the citizens of Northfield, upon receiving intelligence of his death ;


" By his influence and his energy the charter of the Vermont Central Railroad was obtained, and to him we are indebted for the accomplishment of this stupendous work ! There is his Monument ! And when we are dead and forgotten, then fresh in the memory of the future will be his name, as long as the iron horse shall `traverse our State, his name will be cher- ished by the honest and hardy sons of the Green Mountain State. He also gave an impetus to other railroads.


"To me " (said Mr. Carpenter) "this dispensation of Providence is overwhelm- ing. Language fails to express the deep emotions that thrill through every nerve. He was my friend when I needed a friend. For 17 years I enjoyed his intimate and uninterrupted acquaintance and confidence. I see him now as I last saw him, when a few friends took him by the hand and bade him good bye, with tears in their eyes, as he left the station here in the cars for his journey South. The words of one of the friends, as the train left, have made an im- pression upon my mind that time will nev- er efface. 'That car carries more men from Northfield than it will ever bring back.' That was the fearful belief of us all when he Jeft, and sadly true it has proved indeed. It-carried the living man, it can only bring back his earthly remains. It carried him in whom human nature can stand up before all the world, and say ' He was a man !' "

Hon. John Wheeler, of Burlington, formerly President of the University, said of Gov. Paine :


"On his return from college he showed no inclination for professional study, but asked to enter upon the employment of practical life, both to lessen the labors of his father, and to advance his interests. This he was allowed, without much thought that he would do otherwise than soon grow weary of it, and call for a different mode of employment. 'I was greatly surprised, said his father, .at the readiness with which he took hold of labor, the energy with which he followed it. and the capaci- ty and completeness with which he finish- ed it. 1 found he could do as much and as well as I could in my best days.' Those of us who live in Vermont know that such a parent could scarcely give higher praise."


Charles Paine was elected Governor of Vermont in 1841 and 1842,-in the lan- guage of Hon. E. P. Walton :


" The youngest man, I think, in the gubernatorial office in the State, I am sure there never was any man who more highly esteemed the claims of age and wisdom and experience, or was more ready to dis- tinguish and encourage whoever among the young gave hopeful promise of an hon- orable and successful public career.


" What, then, shall I say to you who have known him ; to you, who have been the witnesses of his life ; to you, who have esteemed him beyond all other men; to you, who feel that you have lost more than a father or a friend-both-lost all? I can only say it is right now for you to weep. Grief is the necessary burden of this day, and of many days to you; but when the fountain of your tears shall fail, when you shall become weary and worn, because of your great grief, then will it be fit for you to rejoice that one has lived so briefly, yet so well, and so honorably, so unremittingly, and so successfully labored in important services for his neighbor- hood, his State and his country-that you feel his death is an irreparable loss, and a public calamity. Weep now. It is good to weep.


" His ambition in that great undertaking, (building the Vermont Central Railroad) was of a character which the world justly esteems to be noble ; he aimed to win for himself an honorable public name, by ren- dering a great public service. However much of direct personal advantage he nat- urally and properly may have expected from it, I am sure his chief purpose was to win an honorable name. In the brightest days, he looked joyfully to this reward, and in the


darkest, when every other hope seemed to fail, this remained to solace him. It was on one of these darkest days, and at a time when courage, hope and health were all failing, that he said to me, in his famil- iar mode of conversation, ' Well, Walton, whatever may become of the corporation, they cannot rob us of the road ! It is done ; it will be run ; and the people will, at any rate, reap the blessings which we designed. Oh! if it were not for that, 1 really believe I should die.'


In Governor Paine's first message to the General Assembly, in 1841, there is one topic presented for their consideration that I wish to preserve. (Mr. Gregory.)


"Education is a subject which cannot fail to command your earnest attention. It is true that no community can boast of more widely and universally diffused in- struction than ours, and it might therefore appear useless to urge the topic upon your consideration. But we must continually bear in mind that it is not the result of ac- cident that the people of this State, with so few exceptions, can all read and write, and have enjoyed the benefit of at least a good English education. They owe their happy and enviable condition in this re- spect entirely to the unceasing solicitude and wise legislation of our forefathers. While our State was yet almost a wilder- ness, those who themselves felt the want of education were most careful that their children should not be grown up in igno- rance, and the efforts they made to estab- lish and support common schools and sem- inaries for the higher branches of learning, must forever command our gratitude and admiration."


Such sentiments are "like apples of gold in pictures of silver," and show the character of the man. He took an inter- est in the education of all our people, and did not fail to speak an encouraging word when it would do good. He took an in- terest also in agriculture. Desiring to improve the stock of cattle in this vicinity, he imported a full blood Durham into town, and for many years the milking qual- ities of the dairy were improved to a good degree. It was by his influence that the Washington County Agricultural Fair was held one year in Northfield, on what is now called Central street ; and it was one of the most successful fairs ever held in this county. He loved good cattle, and good horses.

He built and kept in" good forder a fish pond near his hotel, where he lived, and took great delight in feeding the fish from his hand. Gov. Paine's celebrated fish pond, 10 x 8 rods, was one of the curiosi- ties of the Depot village.


He built the hotel in the Depot village, and before its alteration the cars came across the common from both directions, and would stop at the south end of the building for refreshments. In the days of


William Rogers and E. A. Webb it was a popular resort, and in good times, when the Vermont Central and Northfield were in their days of prosperity, it was no un- common thing to have from 50 to 100 guests at this house at a time.

The following were the committee for Gov. Paine's funeral : Samuel W. Thayer, Jr., John Gregory, Moses Robinson, Heman Carpenter, Perley Belknap, Elijah Smith, Jr., Northfield, Dec. 16, 1853.


A handsome granite monument was


placed over the Governor's remains in our beautiful Elmwood, by the generosity and munificence of his friend, Benjamin P. Cheney, Esq., of Boston, at a cost of $1,000, on which we read the following epitaph :

ELMWOOD CEMETERY.


BY DR. PHILANDER D. BRADFORD.


Within the corporate limits of the vil- lage of Northfield, just north of the same, upon a beautiful piece of table land, is situated Elmwood Cemetery.


The ground originally comprised an area of 6 acres and 36 rods, and was do-


nated to the people of Northfield by their late benefactor. ex - Governor Charles Paine.


April 1, 1854, many of the citizens of the town met in the office of Hon. Heman Carpenter, to ef- fect an organization under the general statutes, sub- sequently known as " The Northfield Cemetery As- sociation." Hon. Heman Carpenter was chairman, and George Nichols clerk.


A committee of five were appointed to prepare articles of agreement, and a code of by-laws. At an adjourned meeting, April 8, the committee present- ed a code of by-laws, which were adopted, and an organization was per- fected by electing a president, clerk, treas- urer, and five curators.


Governor Paine having deceased, his administrators, James C. Dunn, of Bos- ton, and Miss Caroline Paine, of New York, agreeable to his expressed wish, ex-

ecuted a deed of the above mentioned land to the Northfield Cemetery Association. The deed contains the following words : " In consideration of one dollar and good will paid to our full satisfaction, we grant, confirm, and convey to the Northfield Cemetery Association the following des- cribed land, etc., for the burial of the dead, and for no other purpose." The cu- rators proceeded at once to inclose the grounds, lay out lots, avenues, walks, and open areas, causing the lots to be num- bered, and a chart to be made of the same. But death was faster than they, on the 26th of the same month, even before the grounds were inclosed, the , remains of Daniel Stevens were buried there, his be- ing the first grave in the cemetery. In October, 1855, an act was passed by the Legislature of Vermont incorporating the Northfield Cemetery Association. The act provided that the affairs of the Associa- tion should be managed by trustees in number not less than five, nor more than seven, and that they should elect from their number a president, clerk, and treas-


urer. The corporation were: Royce Jones, William Rogers, H. M. Bates, William C. Woodbury, George Nichols, J. C. Cady, P. D. Bradford, J. C. B. Thayer, Perley Belknap, Heman Carpen- ter, E. A. Webb, E. G. Babcock, G. N. Cady, Calvin Cady, and W. F. Wood- worth. In November, 1866, the Legisla- ture passed an act in amendment of an act of 1855, " called an act incorporating the Northfield Cemetery Association," author- izing the Association formed under the General Statutes to accept the charter passed at the session of 1856, and that all rights, both in law and equity, be secured to and enjoyed by the association formed under the General Statutes that are secured to and enjoyed by the members of the as- sociation formed under the act aforesaid. Aug. 12, 1857, the association voted to accept the charter and amendment, and organized under the act of 1855, by elect- ing five trustees, viz : William C. Wood- bury, E. A. Webb, George Nichols, L. D. Gilchrist, and Jefferson Marsh. E. A.


Webb was elected president, George Nich- ols, clerk and treasurer.


In November, 1867, an act was passed by the Legislature in amendment of an act passed November, 1855, changing the name of the Northfield Cemetery Associa- tion to " Elmwood Cemetery "; also au- thorizing the trustees to contract with in- dividuals for the perpetual care and im- provement of any lot or lots in said cem- etery. In November, 1876, the Legisla- ture passed an act in amendment of the foregoing, giving full power and control to the trustees as to the burial of the dead ; also full power to control and prevent the burial and removal of bodies buried in said cemetery, as fully and to the same extent that selectmen have in the burial grounds of the State, and to the extent necessary to protect said cemetery from encroach- ment or trespass by any person or per- sons. The cemetery contains at the pres- ent time (1878) the remains of 575 per- sons. It has long been apparent that the grounds were not adequate to the increas- ing and prospective wants of the commu- nity, and the trustees added to the same in 1877 by the purchase of additional land.


The site selected for this cemetery is beautifully adapted for that purpose, and shows the good judgment and taste of the donor. It is withdrawn a little distance from the busy thoroughfare, yet easy of access, and affords a pleasant walk, which appears a favorite one with citizens and strangers. If the character of a people for refinement and religion is indicated by the care of and taste displayed in beautifying the burial places of the dead, it is a matter of congratulation that our cemetery, with its beautiful monuments, its mementoes of- affection, and numerous emblems of the Christian hope lighting up the darkness of this world, contrasts so strongly with the cheerless and unattractive burial grounds of 50 years ago. If this cemetery shall be beautified in years to come as it may be beautified, if art shall vie with nature in adding to its attractions, if affection, not avarice, take the lead in questions of ex- penditures, it will soon become one of the

most attractive spots with- in the limits of our Green Mountain State.


The Association at its annual meeting, the first Tuesday in May, 1878, re- elected the former trus- tees, viz. : P. D. Brad- ford, J. H. Orcutt, C. D. Williams, J. C. Gallup, and E. G. Pierce, who sub- sequently elected P. D. Bradford, president, C. D. Williams, clerk and treasurer, G. B. B. Den- ny, auditor, and James Evans, sexton.

In connection with and belonging to said cem- etery, is a substantial and commodious tomb, men- tion of which should not be omitted. At the annu- al town meeting in the spring of 1867, the select- men were instructed by a vote of the town to build a tomb for temporary deposit of the dead, donated by the late Thomas L. Salisbury. to be located at such place as would best It is surmounted by a heavy marble cross, (the emblem of the Christian's faith,) upon which is the monogram I. H. S. accommodate the town. During the fol- lowing summer the selectmen, (Marvin Simons, William Winch, and Dr. Samuel Keith,) agreeable to instructions, caused said tomb to be constructed at an expense of $1,200, and located it within the cem- etery grounds, the Association donating the site. The front of the tomb is of hewn granite from Berlin quarry, with panels of serpentine from Roxbury quarry, its construction.


This tomb, bordering upon the highway at the head of North street, has been found of great convenience in the winter season, and for both usefulness and artis- tic beauty reflects great credit upon the town, and especially upon the member of the Board (Dr. Keith) who had charge of


CENTER CEMETERY.


Sept. 18, 1823, Ezekiel Robinson, Oli- ver Averill, Joseph Keyes, Harry Emer- son, and Nathan Green bought of E. Tay- lor, Jr., and G. R. Spalding I acre of land west of where the yellow meeting house stood for a burying-ground, paying $60. It was laid out in lots 113x25 feet, with a drive-way running through from east to west. The lots were sold at 75 cents each, and in 1829, had all been disposed of except two lots in the southwest corner,


which were reserved as a burial place for strangers.


Several additions have been made to the lot ; that of Jonathan Briggs on the east, where the first meeting house was built, and last on the west one acre and 127 rods bought of Timothy Reed, Sept. 30, 1874, for $204.45.


Soon after this cemetery was ready, the dead buried on " Richardson's Meadow," west of the railroad, were taken up and interred here. From 1811 to 1823, Rich-

ardson's meadow was the general burial place in the vicinity. Some few were car- ried to the East Hill burying ground, and some to the west of Depot village, in a burial place near F. A. Preston's farm.


Nature has done much to make this


ground " beautiful for situation." The improvement began in the front part of of the cemetery is praiseworthy, and it is hoped will be continued until the whole enclosure shall present an agreeable ap- pearance.


HON. MOSES ROBINSON,


.


A son of one of the first settlers-see page 617 for biography of himself and the Robinson family, and page 646 of early anecdotes. His father opened a lot on his land for the first burying ground in town, as we understand, without charge for burial to any one.


EAST HILL CEMETERY is sitnated at the four corners on the East Hill, near the first settlement of the town, in what is call- ed the Robinson district. It was the first burying ground in Northfield, and for a number of years the only one. The land belonged to the farm of Amos Robinson, and no organization as we can learn was ever formed to control it. All who de- sired it for the burial of their friends had the privilege, and here many of the early settlers rest from their labors. Among the prominent men that are here interred are Amos Robinson, Nathaniel Robinson, Abraham Shipman, Thomas Averill, and


Jesse Averill, Lebbeus Bennett, Parley Tyler, William Jones, and Sam- uel Buzzell, with their wives and many of their children.


GOULDSVILLE CEMETERY.


This burying ground, located in the center of the village, shows care and at- tention in the laying out of the lots, and keeping them clear from weeds and briers. A distinguished traveler once remarked : " Show me the cemeteries and churches of a town, and I will tell you the character of the people."


The Falls village burial ground association was organized according to chapter 81 of Re- vised Statutes. The first meeting was held at the school-house in district No. 13, December, 1848, at which a constitution was adopted, A. S. Braman, moderator ; Marvin Simons, clerk; Leander Foster, James Gould, Samuel Smith, Lotan Lib- bey, Anson Munson, executive committee. The land for the cemetery formerly be- longed to the farm of Luther S. Burnham ; was bought and laid out in 79 lots, sold at $4 each. The grounds have since been enlarged by about half an acre.


Ord. Sergt. Luke W. Kendall, Co. F, 4th Vt., was shot through the head in the battle of the Wilderness. His regiment had never fought without him, and he never received a scratch until his fatal wound. He had re-enlisted for 3 years ; left a wife.


Edmund Pope, Jr., enlisted in 1861 ; taken prisoner at Wilson's Raid, June 19, 64 ; died in Dec., on board a transport, on his way home.
