Nourse, A.M. Lancaster, 1890 The Middle Cemetery Epitaphs p.420 In May, 1798, a committee elected to procure and lay out new burial grounds, bought of Rev. Nathaniel Thayer and Hon. John Sprague one acre and twenty-four rods of land lying in rectangular form, sixteen rods in length on the highway, and eleven and one-half rods in width. According to their report, they "agreed to pay Mr. Thayer fifty dollars on his executing a deed to Mr. Sprague of the Gore of Land between the old and new burying fields, which he agrees to receive in exchange for what the Town will have of him, and each of them giving a deed to the Town, agreeably to the plan." In 1842, this field being crowded with graves, about one-half acre was added to it, on the west end, by pur- chase of the widow of Nathaniel Thayer, D.D., and space for two tiers of lots along the whole front was gained by enclosing common land on the highway, removing there- from the hearse-house and town pound which had for many years been obtrusive features of this locality.
