He died a most rare boy.
The three latter are on the extreme westerly edge of the ground, not far from the corner where the powder house was built in 1770. No trace of this structure remains.
Turning our steps toward the northerly side, the following epitaphs invite our attention:—
To the Memory Of Mrs. ANNA JACKSON Obii. July 20, 1794
Aged 28 years.
Death is the privilege of human nature,
And life without it were not worth our taking
Thither the poor, the unfortunate, and Mourner
Fly for relief & lay their burdens down.

In Memory of Ezra Thayer Jackson son of Mr Thomas Jackson 2d & Mrs
Lucy his wife who died Novr 23d 1783 Aged 25 days
What did the Little hasty Sojournr find so forbidding & disgustful
in our upper World to occasion its precipitant exit.
* * * * *
In Memory of Frederick son of Mr Thomas Jackson and Mrs Lucy his
wife who died March J5, J788 aged J year & 5 days
O! happy Probationer! accepted without being exercised!— It was thy

Here lies Buried the Body of Mrs HANNAH GOODWIN, the wife
of Mr John Goodwin and daughter of Mr Thomas and Mrs SARAH
JACKSON who departed this life March 8th AD. 1777; in the 22d
Year of her Age.
A Soul pre par’d Needs no delays
The Summons comes the Saint obeys
Swift was Her flight & short the Road
She close’d Her Eyes & saw Her God
The Flesh rests here till Jesus comes
And claims the Treasure from the Tomb
In memory of Harriet Daughter of Mr Samuel & Mrs Hannah Jackson who
died Sept. 17, 1793 aged 10 months & 3d (piece gone)
Babes thither caught from Womb and Breast
Claim Right to sing above the Rest
Because they found the happy shore
They never saw nor sought before.
* * * * *
In memory of Mrs. Tabitha Plasket who died June 10, 1807 aged 64
years.
Adieu vain world I have seen enough of the
And I am careless what thou say’st of me
Thy smiles I wish not;
Nor thy frowns I fear,
I am now at rest my head lies quiet here.
* * * * *
In Memory of Mr. JOSEPH PLASKET who died August 1, AD. 1794 in the
48 year of his age
All you that doth behold my stone
Consider how soon I was gone
Death does not always warning give
Therefore be careful how you live
Repent in time, no time delay
I in my prime was called away.
(Tabitha Plasket was for many years a school-teacher in Plymouth
and was well known as an eccentric character.)

BATHSHEBA JAMES widow of Capt William Holmes 3d Mariner and
daughter to Capt Joseph Doten Do. she was killed instantaneously in
a thunder storm by the Electrich fluid of lightning on the 6th of
July 1830, aged 35 years and 26 days.
She was an affectionate wife; a dutiful Daughter, a happy mother,
a kind and sincere friend. Alas sweet Blossom short was the period
that thy enlivening virtues contributed to the Happiness of those
connections; But oh, how long have they to mourn the loss of so
much worth and Excellence.
Farewell dear Wife untill that day more blest
When if deserving I with thee shall rest,
With thee shall rise with thee shall live above
In worlds of endless bliss and boundless love.
In memory of William Brewster Son of Capt William Brewster & Mrs
Elizabeth his wife died April 5th 1804 aged one year 5 months & 17

The father and the children dead
We hope to Heaven their souls are fled
The widow now alone is left
Of all her family bereft.
May she now put her trust in God.
To heal the wounds made by his rod.
* * * * *
Capt Ellis Brews and Mrs Nancy wife died Dec 13
180 aged 4 years
He listen’d for a while to hear
Our mortal griefs; then tun’d his ear
To angel harps and songs, and cried
To join their notes celestial, sigh’d and dyed.
* * * * *
To the memory of Lemuel Cobb Robbins son of Capt Ansel Robbins and
Hannah his wife who died Oct 2sd 1801 aged 1 year & 10 days
We have no Reason for to mourn
For gods will must be don
He lent him for a little space
Then sudden Called him home
* * * * *
In memory of Elizabeth Savery, wife of Lemuel Savery who died
August 1, 1831, Aged 71 years.
Remember me as you pass by,
As you are now so once was I;
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death to follow me.
There are about 2,150 headstones on Burial Hill, and many graves are unmarked. In some cases, undoubtedly, this absence of a memorial is due to the considerable cost of stones in the early days. In other instances the monuments have fallen prey to the ravages of time. Rigid restrictions now govern burials in this ground.
Standing thus among the graves of the pioneer dead and putting all modern life behind him, one’s thoughts go back across the centuries and grasp, with a new sense of reality, the facts of Pilgrim history. The Forefathers, who did brave deeds and suffered much, and planted in the wilderness the seeds of a free nation, stand forth not as shadowy historical figures, but as living men. And thinking on such things, these words of the poet Pierpont find ready echo:—
“The Pilgrim spirit has not fled,
It walks in noon’s broad light;
And it watches the bed of the glorious dead,
With the holy stars, by night.
It watches the bed of the brave who have bled,
And shall guard this ice-bound shore,
Till the waves of the bay, where the Mayflower lay,
Shall foam and freeze no more!”
