Cemeteries. The principal cem-
etery is situated on a plain about
one hundred rods easterly from
the village, considerably elevated
above it, and is truly a delight-
ful spot for the final resting place
of those we hold most dear. As
one has well said, “All is quiet
around, and yet, within the in-
closure, the visitor, with a single
glance, may behold the distant and
gradually rising hills toward the
west, and the pulling locomotive,
with its almost endless train;
while, a short distance below, is the
union of the Pemigewasset with
the Winnipiseogee, and before
him the busy village—the whole
•scenery, with its variety and
beauty, presenting a striking con-
trast to the stillness of the sacred
grounds, and forcibly reminding
him that there is but a step be-
tween the abodes of the living and
“ the eity of the dead.” The San-
born cemetery is one mile east,
and on a corresponding elevation,
overlooking the village and the
river. Both of these cemeteries
belong to incorporated companies,
and there are some fine and expen-
sive monuments in their grounds.
The Webster place cemetery is the
oldest in town. In these grounds
rest the ashes of the parents of
Daniel Webster, and of others of
his kindred. Another cemetery
