Info from Google Books/Archive.org copy (which is missing page 1; missing text, which is only a paragraph and the first sentence of the next paragraph, can be read on page 91 of the story's reprinting in Gaslit Nightmares, also on Google Books). From seller's description on lwcurrey.com: "Short domestic novel, "Holly and Mistletoe," and three short stories, two with supernatural content". "How Our Fathers Went A-Burying" has a note on its first page: "This story was first published in Things in General - a North country Magazine - February, 1879". Frontispiece is titled "The Scene of Desolation" and is an illustration of the text on p. 3 of the title story.
