So that, with a population of less than 4000, exclusive of state paupers and connvicts, we have fifteen graveyards; in fourteen of which places interments are made every year, or nearly so.   We have copied the inscriptions or epitaphs of the first eight of the above fifteen graveyards, which were commenced before 1800, including stones and monuments erected before or since in each yard, down to the present time.

   We have, for convenience and easy finding localities, divided the Old grave-yard, near the Unitarian church, a plan of which is hereto annexed, into four sections, called Section A, or southwest section; Section B, or northwest section; Section C, or northeast section; and Section D, or southeast section; by drawing a heavy black line each way through the centre, or near the centre of the ground, where stands a large Norway fir, to an elm tree, outside of the yard, on the south side, and to elm trees on the inside of the yard on the north and east side of the yard, and we have numbered each grave-stone and monument in each section, as follows: we begin to number the grave-stones and monuments in this yard with No. 1, 2, 3, etc., in the southwest corner of Section A, and go to No. 103 in the southeast corner of Section A.   We then begin with No. 104, in the southwest corner of Section B, and go to No. 297, in the northeast corner of Section B.   We then begin with No. 298, in the southwest corner of Section C, and go to No. 439, in the southeast corner of Section C.   We then begin with 440, in the southwest corner of Section D, and go to No. 531, in the southeast Corner of Section D.

   The corners of this ground upon the plan are rounded off, but the distance or length of each side is computed from one intersection of two side lines to another intersection of two side lines.   All graves head west and foot east, and all stones face west; and a few stones have two or more names or inscriptions thereon.   The top of the plan is east.
