Excerpt from Gravestone Inscriptions and Records of Tomb Burials in the Central Burying Ground, Boston Common, and Inscriptions in the South Burying Ground, Boston As a result of a general complaint by the citizens and undertakers of Boston that no more space was available either in the King's Chapel or Granary burying grounds, in 1740, John Chambers, with other undertakers and grave diggers, petitioned the selectmen to purchase a new cemetery in the south end of the town. Eight years later, a committee was appointed to consider the matter and a plan was submitted at a town meeting held May 9, 1748, which provided for the laying out of about an acre and one-half near the southeast corner of the Common, bounded by the Tremont street Mall, and Frog Lane, the present Boyl ston street. It appeared, however, that the proposed lot would in part extend into the Common and opposition developed and the discussion continued for another eight years.
