Feb. 13, 1677-8. The townsmen according to town act Feb 12, 1676, and by town order have laid out one acre of land on the west end of John Beers his home lot for the use of a burying place, bounded east with John Beers, his home lot and common land, South, West, and North with common land.
This was the place which is now, and for more than a hundred years has been commonly called the Congregational Burying Ground. When laid out it was, doubtless, intended for all the people of the town, but many years afterward, when the Episcopal Church was established, another place was laid out which has always been called the Episcopal Burying Ground. Both of these grounds are well filled, and but seldom in these days is a new grave made in them. To walk through them and read the insciptions is something like a visit to the hearthstones of long remembered kindred, where the house is left vacant. (more, which I did not copy--cb).

Sleep on dear wife & take thy rest.
Thy God has called, he thought it best,
Sleep calmly with the silent dead,
For thy blest spirit now has fled.
No joys on earth were worth thy stay,
They'll soon forever pass away,
But joys eternal now are thine
Far, far beyond the bounds of time
Lovisa, I hope to meet you there
And in God's kingdom have a share
I hope to sing with you above
The notes of everlasting love.

From the first blossom, from the buds of joy;
To join the dull mass, increase the trodden soil,
And sleep till earth herself shall be no more.
