Woburn Records Of Births Deaths And Marriages Vol 2

Excerpt from Woburn Records of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, Vol. 2: From 1640 to 1873 In order still further to complete the Woburn record of deaths and to preserve for all time memorials which are slowly but surely passing out of existence, memorials, too, the most sacred and valuable of all which have been left to us of the fathers, I have added as an appendix to the record of deaths a transcript of the epitaphs to be found in the First and Second burying-grounds. For this transcript I am indebted to my friend, Mr. William R. Cutter, whose copy of the epitaphs in the First or Park Street burying-ground was made almost a quarter of a century ago. The changes and removals which have taken place in the Second or Montvale Avenue burying-ground since Mr. Cutter revised Mr. Nathan Wyman's manuscript list, in 1870, have somewhat disarranged the chrono logical order which was then prepared. As, however, the epitaphs of each yard are separately indexed, this slight disarrangement will not interfere with the value of the list for reference.
