We have so many wonderful old graveyards and cemeteries here in New England and I'm sure they all have a tale or two to tell.Rich Clabaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915392348153309406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885320105550742793.post-88216140730286509942015-09-14T12:23:04.870-04:002015-09-14T12:23:04.870-04:00Hi AssinnippiJack!

I'll keep my eye out for his stone the next time I downtown. That cemetery (and its inhabitants) could use a little love I think!Peter Muisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939949561996555115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885320105550742793.post-84383120503260915062015-09-13T18:29:48.740-04:002015-09-13T18:29:48.740-04:00Just discovered this blog while googling Boston...Just discovered this blog while googling Boston's Central Burying Ground. I walk by it almost every morning & often at night as I work various shifts in the construction industry. Future visitors should look for the gravestone of Chow Mandarin. Chow was a mariner who originally came from.... you guessed it, China. His stone states that he was killed from a fall from a ship's mast in Boston Harbor in 1793. A reminder that Boston was a multicultural port well over 200 years ago. On a more personal note a few years back I worked on a construction project alongide CBG that involved sidewalk & wall repair. Several tombs had to be disturbed in order to shore up the walls. It was disturbing & sad to see piles of bones of what must have been hundreds of Boston's early inhabitants. While some workers were spooked working around the remains of the long departed most of us were respectful. But yes there are many disturbed souls in that cemetery.David C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15569190381517248244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885320105550742793.post-83964977413513463462010-08-03T12:09:01.729-04:002010-08-03T12:09:01.729-04:00That's a setting sun symbolic of death.That's a setting sun symbolic of death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885320105550742793.post-76825341418713671622010-08-02T11:59:19.087-04:002010-08-02T11:59:19.087-04:00I work across the street from this burial ground a...I work across the street from this burial ground and like to eat my lunch there on nice days. I agree that it has not been kept up as well as other historic cemeteries in town.Rheahttp://thegeminiweb.comnoreply@blogger.com
