Excerpt from Reading's "Old Burial Ground" Now in Wakefield, Massachusetts, 1688It was the general custom.1n early Colonial days, and for long years after, to locate the Town's burial ground, close by the meeting-house. In Reading this was not so located, and we have never heard a satisfactory reason for this departure from.the time honored custom, It may be that back in 1644, or later, some one may have had a vision of the probable location of a second Meeting House, close by the first Burial place, which actually occurred.For many years this old burial ground, always limited in area, remained unfenced, and as time passed on, many of the monuments and markers were broken down or destroyed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
