[History of Bridgewater Grave-Yards]

The Old Grave Yard, near the Unitarian Church, was the first buying-place in the South Precinct, now Bridgewater. The land, one acre, is a part of two acres given to the "Inhabitants of the Southerly Precinct," by John Washburn, "to build a Meeting House on," by deed dated April 6, 1719, recorded June 20, 1722, in Plymouth Registry, book 16, page 61, and also recorded in the third book of Parish Records of the South Precinct, now the First Congregational Society in Bridgewater, page 197-8. The premises conveyed by that deed were twenty rods north and south, and sixteen rods east and west, on which a meeting-house, 38 x 42, was commenced in 1716, finished and dedicated June 14, 1717. It stood on the spot where the present meeting-house stands, and fronted south, was enlarged, 1747, sixteen feet in the middle and taken down 1760.

There is no allusion to any burial in the above deed of John Washburn, not in the Parish Records for many years after.

John Washburn, the donor, died in 1719, and his wife, Rebecca, in 1717, and both were buried here, in the southwest part, on the high ground which was first used for burial, and the ground first appropriated for burial was afterwards enlarged by the parish. The late Capt. Abram Washburn, about 1843, set u[ new grave-stones at their graves in place of the old natural stones removed, and in 1850 planted the two larch trees, now standing and growing over their graves, in the presence of the writer, and always claimed that said Rebecca, wife of the donor of the ground, was the first person buried in the yard, it being so written on her grave-stone, and there is no evidence, written, printed or otherwise, of this ground being used for burial prior to 1716.

When were those people buried who lived and died in this part of old Bridgewater prior to 1716?

Several families were living here as early as 1680, and the population of this part of old Bridgewater was constantly increasing from that date down to 1716, when the South Precinct was formed, and this burial-place was commenced. But we have no evidence, or even tradition, of there being any grave-yard in this part of old Bridgewater during this time, a period of more than thirty years. If private burial-places existed, we should probably have heard of them. There is no evidence, and it is not probable, that they were buried in the old yard in West Bridgewater, and they may have been buried in one or more places in this part of old Bridgewater, not yet discovered.

In 1736, the South Precinct voted to build a board fence around the burying-ground, and the next year rescinded that vote, and voted to build, and did build, a post and rail fence. This kind of fence was continued, with occasional repairs, down to 1795-6, when the members of the South Precinct concluded to have the yard fenced in with a stone wall, and the parish voted "to take off the fence round the buyring-place, and sell it to build another, to be no expense to the parish." They made a bee. The whole parish turned out with more ox teams in those days than now, and voluntarily, in one day, brought together stone enough and sufficient or the whole fence, about fifty rods in length, making a common balance wall around the yard, with a gate entrance at each corner; and this wall fence remianed till 1844, when Capt. Abram Washburn, with a little help from subscribers, rebuilt the whole wall, and put the capping stones on, and made on gate entrance near the middle of the south side.

In the upper, or southwest part of this yard, were many graves with natural stones, without insciption, and when the wall was rebuilt in 1844, these natural stones, and many of the foot-stones, were used and put into the wall. From 1845 to 1850, the foot-stones were all removed, and the graves and ground were levelled, so as to make it comfortable for mowing and raking. In 1847 twenty-eight of these foot-stones were made into head-stones, and set to graves without monuments, with a simple incription of the name, or initials of the name, and year of death. About twenty of these foot-stones made into head-stones are still to be found in their proper places; and about this time, 1847 to 1850, two paths, or walks, each about five feet wide, from north to south, dividing the yard into three parts nearly equal, were plowed up, levelled, and fitted for walks, and a few head and footstones were displaced to make an unobstructed walk; but in a few years these walks were grassed over, and the paths were disused and lost. About 1820, five tombs were built in the central part of this yard, used and occupied for many years, and from 1845 to 1855 were taken down by permission of owners, and remains were removed to the new cemetery and other places. In 1842 a new public cemetery was established in the town, called the Bridgewater Cemetery, on Mount Prospect street, and some head-stones and remains have been removed from this old yard to this new cemetery and other places, and since 1842 very few interments have been made in this old yard.

Most of the trees in and around this yard were planted between 1838 and 1843. The pitch pine, in the easterly part of the yard, came from Isam Leonard. The elm now standing in the triangle formed by the junction of Plymouth with Summer streets is the survivor of seven elms planted in that triagnel, in such manner that you could see three trees in a row in six directions. One morning it appeared that the row of trees on the northerly side of the road, from the house lot of W. Latham to the house of Widow Holmes, had been barked, cut, and injured more or less, with a large, shap knife, or other instrument so much so that six of the seven trees in this triangle were given up as lost and destroyed. This central tree, now standing there, was not cut entirely off, but so much cut that the top fell over and hung down. This tree was straightened up with splinters, clay, and bandages, and soon healed up and became sound, and now has its original top branches. This is the only malicious mischief ever done to trees in this neighborhood, though many trees have had narrow escapes.

The elm tree now standing in the triangle formed by the junction of School and Summer streets, was set out in the afternoon of the last May Training in this Commonwealth. While the writer was planting that tree his name was called by a clerk, as a member of the company then parading in front of the old meeting-house, and was marked absent, though the call was answered by the writer then outside of the training ground, without equipments except a spade. Upon a little consideration it was deemed expedient to call upon the captain to apollogize for improper conduct in answering to the call, and to offer to pay the fine of four dollars incurred, without trouble or expense. In a few days the captain brought to the writer his list of delinquents for collection. Among other suits to recover fines, was one against Henry Randall, who claimed that his name was Henry Miller Randall, but it appeared in evidence that he had written Henry Randall, as well as Henry M. Randall. The court decided that a man may as well be known by one name as another, and he was held to answer to either name, and to pay his fine and cost.

This old grave-yard was the only place of burial in the South Precinct, now Bridgewater, for about thirty-five years. Lt. John Washburn, born 1711, and died 1797, was the sexton, and dug the graves in this old yard from 1738 to the time of his death in 1797, and kept an account thereof, which is no (1882) in the possession of the writer. The dates in this record mean date of burial, and not day of death; and which record was made as a matter of account, and not as a record of deaths.

His record begins with the year 1739, and shows an average of ninteen deaths per year for the first eight years, from 1739 to 1747, inclusive, and sixteen and five-eights deaths per year from 1748 to 1755, inclusive, and an average of twelve dealths per year for the next eight years, from 1756 to 1763, inclusive, and an average of eight and four-tenths for the next ten years, from 1764 to 1773, and an average of twelve and seven-tenths for the next ten years, from 1774 to 1783.

The greatest mortaility, as appears from this record, was twenty-seven deaths in 1741; twenty-two in 1744; twenty-seven in 1747; forty in 1750; forty-seven in 1756; and forty one in 1778.

  • The total number of graves dug by him in this yard during these fifty-eight years, from 1739 to 1797 is 706. There were probably more interments made during this time, as many years had but few graves dug by him, to wit: in 1796 only one; three is each of the years 1767, 1772, 1780 and 1791; four in 1783; five in 1768; six in 1785, 1763, 1779, 1792. The total number of grave-stones, counting each monument slab, on stone or brick foundation, as one stone, is now (1881) 631, and from an examination and inquiry made some thirty odd years ago, when graves could better be seen and counted, it was estimated that there had been at least 1500; and probably from that to 2000 interments in this yard.

    There was early a dispositon to increase the number of burials-places in the town of Bridgewater. The population being scattered over some twenty-eight or thirty square miles of territory, and funerals being burdensome before hearses were used, they began, in different parts of town, to establish burying-places, and to bury the dead in the following order:

    1. The Old grave-yard, near Unitarian Church, 1716;
    2. Vernon Street grave-yard, at Cross Street, 1751;
    3. Scotland grave-yard, near meeting-house, 1753;
    4. South Street grave-yard, near Zephaniah Keith, 1756;
    5. Trinity Church grave-yard, first used for burial, 1763;
    6. Japan grave-yard, near Jennings' brook, 1766;;
    7. Samll-pox grave-yard, near Rufus Woods, 1778;
    8. Great Woods grave-yard, near Solomon Alden, 1793;
    9. Harlow grave-yard, near Childs' Bridge, 1803;
    10. Pratt Town grave-yard, 1828;
    11. Conant Town grave-yard, 1829;
    12. Benson Town grave-yard, 1839;
    13. Bridgewater Cemetery, 1842;
    14. State Workhouse grave-yard, 1853;
    15. Catholic Cemetery, at church, 1854;
    16. Catholic Cemetery, on Centre street, 1867

    So that, with a population of less than 4000, exclusive of state paupers and convicts, we have fifteen grave-yards; in fourteen of which place interments are made every year, or nearly so. We have copied the insciptions or epitaphs of the fist eight of the above grave-yards, 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;
    Secion B, or northwest section;
    Section C, or northeast section;
    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 being 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.
