Forefather's Burying Ground, Chelmsford, Mass.

CHAPTER XVII.
BURYING GROUNDS.
FOREFATHERS' BURYING GROUND, CHELMSFORD CENTRE.
It was probably some years after the settlement of the Town
before there was any established burial place. The first grave
is said to have been upon the land of Thomas Henchman, later
owned by Mr. E. H. Warren. A few uninscribed stones of rough
surface appear to mark the earliest graves in Forefathers' burying
ground, but the year 1690 is the date of the first stone bearing
an inscription. In 1702, a "rough fence," and in 1708, a "board
fence" was placed around the burying ground. This was replaced
in 1717 by a stone wall; and in 1790 one of more pen-nanent
character was built; this was repaired in 1793.
May 25, 1778, the Town appointed a committee to consider
making some addition to the burying ground.
In 1813, and the three succeeding years, the tombs were
built at the top of the rising ground.
In 1817, a piece of land owned by Moses Hale, on the southerly
side of the burying ground, was added to it. This new part is
said, in the records, to include the graves of Rev. John Fiske and
two of his family. Hale was to build a good substantial stone
wall four and one-half feet above the surface of the earth. He
had a barn, between which and the burying ground he reserved
a passageway. Hale received $27.
In 1830, the burying ground was "repaired," and in 1838,
an addition was made on the west side, a parcel of land being
purchased of David Dickinson for $100.
In 1839, the stone steps were built on the slope near the
centre of the old part of the burying ground. The upper flight
of steps was built about 1853, when the upper row of tombs was
built.
In 1871, a receiving tomb was built in this burying ground.
A triangular strip of land next to Littleton street was
annexed at this time. See Plate No. 40.
In accordance with ancient custom, the bodies in the older
part of the cemetery are buried with their faces toward the east,
as though looking for the promised coming of Christ and the
resurrection of the dead.

Her husband, William Tyng, is buried in Concord, having been wounded
by the Indians between Groton and Lancaster, and carried to Concord, where
he died Aug. 16, 1710.
This stone recalls one of the past industries of Chelmsford which flourished
at the time of the old Middlesex canal:
SACRED
To the memory of
John J. Stickelmire,
a Nativ& of GERMANY, and late foreman of
the Chelmsford Glass Manufactory,
Died March 31st 1814
Aged 48 years.
This verse reminds the heedless as they pass
That life's a fragile drop of unnealed glass,
The slightest wound ensures a fatal burst
And the frail fabric shivers into dust.
So he whoni in his art could none surpass,
Is now himself reduced to broken glass,
But from the grave, the fining pot of man,
From scandiver and galss (sic) galls purged again,
New mixed and fashioned by almighty power,
Shall rise a firmer fabric than before.

TRANSLATION.
This stone marks the grave of Stephen Scales, A. M., late Alumnus of
Harvard College and recently tutor of the same, whose discrimirlating genius,
distinguished virtues, and equally remarkable diligence, daily increased his
honor and reputation more and more. Devoted to the study of jurisprudence,
he applied himself with his whole soul, and accomplished much. While he
labored in the flush of youth, he was suddenly snatched away from the living,
November 5, in the year of human salvation, 1772; of his age 31.
0, my friend, the brief span of life forbids us to enter upon far-reaching
hope. So night overtakes thee. [This quotation is from Horace; Odes, I, iv.]

LIST OF INTERMENTS IN FOREFATHERS' BURYING GROUND.
At least four lists have been made: one by John Rowland
Parkhurst, one by "Shawshin,"*in the Boston Transcript, one by
P. Hildreth Parker, and the deaths printed in "Chelmsford Vital
Records." The first, third and last of these have been compared,
with the following result.
The list is arranged alphabetically, and at the same time
chronologically, except in a few instances, where all the names on
a family tomb are placed together.
With a few exceptions, the full inscription is not given,
only the name, date of death, and age.
J. Rowland Parkhurst has for many years been in charge of
the cemeteries of Chelmsford Centre.
The names of persons buried in some of the family tombs are
not known. Variations in the spelling of names has been retained.
