Maplewood Cemetery was prepared for use in the year 1861. The land had been for years a dry, poor

sheep-pasture. One day, J. W. Christie, riding along with his son, Dr. Morris Christie, thought of the

convenience and fitness of the place for a burial-ground. They two got out and looked it over; then went

up and consulted with Mark and Levi Woodbury. The next step was that the two last named bought the

land. Then, as soon as possible, they fitted it up nearly in its present shape, and sold the lots for

remuneration. It was opened with the year 1862. It has been spoken of as remarkable that Mr. Christie

was almost the first to be laid there (April 10, 1862). The first burial there was that of Charles McKeen,

who died March 24, 1862.

Few country burial-places are more attractive than this. It will be still more beautiful in the future, when the long

rows of trees reach maturity.
