Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History and Records of the First Congregational Church, Hanover, Mass;, 1727-1865, Vol. 1: And Inscriptions From the Headstones and Tombs in the Cemetery at Centre Hanover, Mass;, 1727-1894 There were undoubtedly many burials in this cemetery prior to that date, and on the older graves may yet be seen heaps of stones, placed there to keep the wolves and dogs from digging up the bodies. Little is left in these graves. In 1886, when making some improvements in the cemetery with money raised by concerts, I had occasion to have one or more of the old graves opened. A streak of black earth, a tuft of hair, and in one instance a few kernels of parched corn where the stomach ought to be, was all that was found by Mr. Andrew T. Damon, who opened the graves. I am indebted to Mr. Damon for many favors and much kindness during my acquaintance with him, extending over many years. No one now living knows more about the old cemetery than he. In closing this preface I wish to especially commend this volume to all who have time to make a careful study of it. Many will find much to give them light on the characters who lived in this country town a century ago, and who had such difficulty in getting the wayward members back to the fold, in keeping the small boy quiet, and in raising enough money to support the minister. They were responsible for the present generations; do we all realize that we are equally responsible for the coming generations.
