The Revolutionary Cemetery
December 13th, 1866 at 10 o’clock A.M. was appointed by notice given in the churches and by newspaper and hand bills, as the day of public sale of lots in the new cemetery. Mr. Samuel Crane was requested to act as auctioneer, and the committee offered for sale, “The lots in the first lot on the Westville road except the plot selected for the families of the minister of the church and the Eastern promontory reserved for Soldiers graves and monuments.” The minimum price was fixed at twenty dollars per lot, and five dollars was, “payable on each lot on the day of sale, the balance to be paid on the delivery of the deed, which will be given Feb. 1st, 1867 at the Lecture room.” The form of deed was a modification of the one used by the Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
