Synopsis

Excerpt from Wethersfield Inscriptions: A Complete Record of the Inscriptions in the Five Burial Places in the Ancient Town of Wethersfield, Including the Towns of Rocky Hill, Newington, and Beckley Quarter (in Berlin), Also a Portion of the Inscriptions in the Oldest Cemetery in Glastonbury

Scattered all over New England are traces of old neglected cemeteries, often remote from the traveled roads, the monu ments therein broken and decayed, and perhaps buried by overgrowth-s and debris. Already many such are cornpletely obliterated, the only evidence of their existence being proved by the plowshare in the hands of a new people, but lately in possession of the soil; a people having little, if any, sentimental interest in the former occupants.

With the general revival of interest in our ancestors during the past few years, largely induced by the numerous patriotic hereditary societies that have recently sprung into existence, fresh impulses have throbbed in our hearts to honor the memory of the long-departed dead. Many ancient burial-2 grounds, for years left to the ravages of nature and the destruc tive hand of the stranger, have been as nearly as possible re stored to their pristine condition, and this commendable work is still extending. In this State, laws have recently been en acted in w of encouraging the restoration of these God's Acres, and many of our older country towns are availing themselves of the improved opportunities by organizing, with corporate power, for the purpose of renovating the old ceme teries within their borders.
