John Newton Haseltine was the son of Thomas Haseltine and Elizabeth Sanborn.  He was born at Chester on 1 May 1822 and died 1 December 1904 in Chester.  His death record at the New Hampshire Vital Records lists him as a retired merchant, who lived previously at Malden, Massachusetts. He married Amelia Morse Davis on 14 December 1864 at Newburyport, Massachusetts.  She was the daughter of Benjamin and M. Eveline Davis.  His marriage record lists him as a manufacturer.

This is another zinc monument (also known as "zinkers"),
like the one I posted several weeks ago at this link:

  1. These are beautiful tombstones. The New England settlers knew how to make tombstones that would last with all their definition intact. (Was it the zinc?) The tombstones of my SC ancestors are much further deteriorated, and harder to read. Thank you for these pictures!
