Grave Stone Records


Book Description

Excerpt from Grave Stone Records: From the Ancient Cemeteries in the Town of Claremont, New Hampshire; With Historical and Biographical Notes Believing that a printed record of these will be of service to posterity as well as of value to the historian and genealogist, a transcript has been made of all the stones in the West Claremont church yard, the village burying ground, the Jarvis yard, and all prior to 1846 in the Catholic cemetery. The town records give dates of deaths of all interments here since that year. The usual couplets and verses upon the old stones have not been copied unless they in some way give facts worth recording. In other words the record is a plain statement of facts with such notes as it has seemed proper to add for reference or information.
