In 1849 i^ contained seventy-five stone memorials, all of slate, but this number has been reduced in the last half century by breakage and other causes.^ The second cemetery was a gift to the town in 1768; the donation being made by Deacon Matthew Norton, "in consideration of the love, good will and regard that he hath toward the public worship of almighty God. "^ It was an acre in extent, and was situated on Pease Point way, adjoining the lot on which the then new meeting house was being erect...ed. It has since been enlarged by subsequent acqui- sitions. The first burials were in 1782, when six men of Edgartown, drowned at Gay Head, were interred in the new ground.^ There was a burial place at Aquampache used by the residents of that locality, some time prior to 1836, but how long it had been in existence is not known. In that year an addition was made to it by Elihu P. Norton as guardian of an estate.^ As happened in all communities there were private burial places used by families on their own farms or homesteads.
