To 
 
 Mr. Cornelius Briggs, 
 
 who, like Cornelius of old, 
 
 is truly devout and fears God, and is one of the 
 
 "■pillars" of the Church of Christ in Manomet, 
 
 this book is lovingly dedicated 
 
 by 
 
 his pastor. 
 
We speak of a Merry Christmas, 
 And many a Happy New Year: 
 
 But each in his heart is thinking 
 Of those that are not here.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Two things have induced 
 pamphlet-form the epitaphs in the Ojdil Burial Hill 
 in Manomet, Plymouth. One is the great value 
 of the cemetery as to its age, situation, and mem- 
 ories associated with it, and the other is the in- 
 herent worth of the inscriptions replete with 
 sound, Christian sentiments, which have always 
 characterized New England. 
 
 The burial ground above-mentioned is un- 
 doubtedly the second oldest cemetery (for white 
 people) on Plymouth soil. There is no way, 
 however, by which the date of the first interment 
 can be ascertained. The oldest epitaph bears the 
 date of 1 71 7. But judging by the fact that 
 Manomet or South Plymouth was settled in 1639, 
 only 19 years after the landing of the Pilgrims, 
 w'e can be sure that this venerable cemetery was 
 in use long before 17 17, perhaps not many years 
 after 1639. 
 
 The cemetery has an enviable situation on the 
 crest of a hill, which is literally covered with 
 shapely cedars reminding one of the cedar- 
 crowned hills of Lebanon. It is in full view of 
 Massachusetts Bay, which must have been a part 
 of the route of that famous craft, the Mayflower, 
 bringing in her precious cargo of humanity. 
 
-( — 
 
 There one can listen to the incessant music of 
 the majestic ocean, the lap-lapping of the waves 
 in calm weather, and the roaring of the billows 
 in the times of storm. 
 
 There the zephyr has its headquarters and the 
 Boreas its rendezvous. 
 
 No other spot on Plymouth soil is better fitted 
 to be "God's acre" than this piece of ground hal- 
 lowed by the memories of the past. 
 
 Some of the epitaphs are highly interesting 
 specimens of the art of sepulchral inscription of 
 years gone by. With all their orthographical, 
 srrammatical and accidental errors, with their 
 crude engravings of lachrymatories or "tear- 
 bottles," with their skulls, and crossbones, and 
 weeping-willows, and finally with their ungainly 
 chirography, they present to the eye as attractive 
 a collection as any archeologist would desire to 
 behold. 
 
 I have made no attempt at editing these epitaphs, 
 I have copied every inscription in the cemetery, 
 excepting three which are undecipherable. The 
 epitaphs in this pamphlet are, therefore, the true 
 — verbatim ct literatim et punctuatim — pictures 
 of the originals, minus the picturesque appear- 
 ance of some of the engravings. 
 
 The inherent value of the inscriptions lies in 
 the sentiments they express. Read the unar- 
 tistic rhymes; note the Scriptural quotations, and 
 give attention to the different unpolished senti- 
 ments, and you will at once be able to form an 
 approximate idea of the character of the men and 
 
women in whose memory these records have been 
 preserved. 
 
 Living in and with Christ; dying in Christ 
 with an indescribable joy; being transformed 
 into the image of the Saviour; submission to 
 God's will; devotion to Christ; salvation by 
 grace and through watchfulness for the last hour; 
 and finally, a firm belief in the immortality of the 
 soul and in a blissful existence beyond this life — 
 these are some of the indications that give us an 
 insight into the character of the glorified dead of 
 Manomet. It was the spirit dominant in these 
 men and women of God, these heroes and heroines 
 in home-spun, that ha-\& electrified — I was almost 
 saying Yankeefied — not only every section of this 
 country, but of the whole world. It was this 
 spirit that under God made America what it is 
 to-day. 
 
 May the enviable name they have transmitted 
 to their posterity ever remain unblemished, and 
 the goodly heritage they have submitted to their 
 care be kept untarnished is the earnest prayer of

POSTSCRIPT. 
 
 A word explanatory of the title of this book- 
 let is not ont of place here. I have already pub- 
 lished three pamphlets concerning Manomet. 
 The first is a sermon entitled. "If Jesus Came to 
 Manomet," the second contains the proceedings 
 of the one hundred and sixtieth anniversary cele- 
 bration of the Church of Christ in Manomet, and 
 the third is a repository of the obituaries of some 
 Manomet people. 
 
 Following the order of publication, I have 
 christened this fourth booklet with the title of 
 "Manometiana Number Four." The word 
 Manometiana is neither a lexicon word, nor a col- 
 loquial expression. It is a term improvised for 
 the occasion by The Compiler. 
 
NECROLOGY. 
 
 Hoiv beautiful it is for a man to die 
 Upon the ivalls of Zion! to he called 
 Like a zvatch-zcorn and iveary sentinel, 
 To put his armour oif, and rest in heaven.
