In Charles A. Hazlett's "History of Rockingham County New Hampshire and Representative Citizens", when writing about Newington history, he notes that, "The public cemetery adjoining the meeting house was set apart in 1717 and enlarged in 1883. A substantial wall of split granite was built on the eastern side (of the cemetery) in 1900 and a receiving tomb in 1907." As there would have been significant costs to the preparation of cemetery grounds, Hazlett also mentions that the largest contributor to the cost was Mrs. Hannah P. (Coleman) Newton, widow of John C. Newton of Portsmouth, and daughter of the late Capt. James Coleman of Newington. [Charles A. Hazlett, "History of Rockingham County New Hampshire and Representative Citizens" (Chicago: Richmond-Arnold Publishing Co., 1915), p. 571]
