Cemeteries. There are many
cemeteries in Manchester, the
most important of which will be
briefly mentioned.

Valley Cemetery. The grounds
for this cemetery were generously
donated by the Amoskeag Manu-
facturing Company, the deed
bearing date, January 25, 1840,
and conveying nineteen and sev-
en-tenths acres, pleasantly loca-
ted on Mill Brook, and bounded
north by Auburn Street, east by
Pine Street, south by Valley
Street, and west by Willow Street.
There were certain provisions in the
deed, debarring the use of money
obtained for the sale of lots, for any
other purpose than to benefit and.-
beautify the grounds. The grounds
are laid out with much care and
ta^te, and the brook which is clear
and meandering in its course
through the grounds, adds much
beauty to this lovely spot, the
home of the dead, and the retreat
of the mourner. Nearly all the
lots have been sold, and another
purchase has been made, of forty
acres, and owing to the growth of
Pine which covers this lot, it is
called Pine Grove Cemetery. Cen-
tre Cemetery was located in the
south part of Meeting house lot in
1759. It was much used till 1840.
Forest Cemetery was located near
the south-west corner of ancient
Chester, and was used as early as
1735. A dense forest has now
grown up over the graves. There
are, on the west side of the Merri-
mack, Piseataquoag, Amoskeag,
and the Catholic cemetery. All
these grounds are pleasantly locat-
ed and are capable of being made
pleasant resting places for the
dead.
