The Phipps Street Burying Ground is a historic cemetery on Phipps Street in Charlestown, now a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The burial ground was created in 1630, when Charlestown was a separate community from Boston; it is the oldest cemetery within Boston's present limits. The "Charlestown Carver", an anonymous stone cutter active in the 1660s, began an important regional style that was continued by the Lamson family for many generations.〔On site plaque provided by The Bostonian Society photographed November 17, 2009〕 The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.〔 == Interments == Since it was the only cemetery in Charlestown (which was annexed to Boston in the 19th century) for many years, it had a wide range of class and situation: * Prince Bradstreet, "an honest man of color".〔 * Benjamin Gorham, Congressman 1820-23, 1827–31, 1833-35.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phipps Street Cemetery )〕 * Nathaniel Gorham, president of the Continental Congress.〔 * John Harvard, for whom Harvard University is named.〔 * Oliver Holden, an American composer and compiler of hymns. * Edward Wigglesworth, a clergyman, teacher and theologian in Colonial America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phipps Street Burying Ground」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
