PHEFACE,
Ox petition received from the Rumford Historical Associatiou, tiie City
Council of "Woburu, in May, 1890, passed the following vote : —
"Ordered, That the Mayor be aud hereby is authorized to have printed twenty-five hun-
dred copies of his manuscript record of deaths, and that the expense therefor be paid out of
the Miscellaneous Department."
And it is further
"Ordered, That the printed copies be deposited with the City Treasurer, who shall dis-
pose of them to any and all persons for twenty-five cents a copy, and all sums received by
him therefor shall be placed to the credit of the Miscellaneous Department."
In pursuance of this vote the following pages are now presented to the
public. In order to add to and perfect the record, I engaged Miss J.
Gertrude Menard to assist me in comparing it with the data to be found
on the gravestones in both the Salem Street and Calvary Cemeteries.
Our comparison has resulted in the addition of over four hundred names
to the recorded list, and in the discovery of a number of discrepancies
between the clerk's records aud those chiselled on the gravestones.
These additions and corrections have been inserted iu their proper chron-
ological place, and for the purpose of distinguishing them from the town
clerk's records, the word "Gravestone" has beeu added to each addi-
tional or corrected entry.
In order still further to complete the Woburu record of deaths and to
preserve for all time memorials which are slowly but surely passing out
of existence,— memorials, too, the most sacred and valuable of all which
have been left to us of the fathers, — I have added as an appendix to the
record of deaths a transcript of the epitaphs to be found in the First and
Second Burying-Grouuds. For this transcript I am indebted to my
friend, Mr. William R. Cutter, whose copy of the epitaphs in the First or
Park Street Burying-Ground was made almost a quarter of a century ago.
The changes and removals which have taken place in the Second or
Moutvale Avenue Burying-Ground since Mr. Cutter revised Mr. Nathan
Wyman's manuscript list, iu 1870, have somewhat disarranged the chrono-
logical order which was then prepared. As, however, the epitaphs of each
yard are separately indexed, this slight disarrangement will not interfere
with the value of the list for reference.
The recent visits which I have made to the several graveyards iu this
city, and the inspection of many of their half-obliterated monuments and
4 PREFACE.
crumbliug gravestones have brought forcibly to my mind the truth of
the lines,—
" Monuments themselves memorials need."
We spend large sums of money to perpetuate on polished marble the
lineage and virtues of a departed friend ; yet it is only a question of time
when this single record will become obliterated and forever lost. How
important it is then to have those memorials duplicated by being spread
on the printed sheet, thus making a record and the only record which can
defy " the tooth of time"!

* Nahum Sargeant, a graduate of Dartmouth College, 1784, and a brother of Rev. Samuel
Sargeant, of Woburn, died while on a visit at Chelsea, Mass., Oct. 7, 1792, aged thirtj'-four
years. He was minister at Reading, Vt., from 1787 to time of death. He preached in
Woburn occasionally, and his first appearance here as a preacher was on Sunday, Oct.
31, 1784, when, in the words of Esquire Samuel Thompson's memoranda, "Mr. Sargeant's
brother preached." He also preached on June 5, 178.5, when he was described by the above
authority as " Mr. Sareeant, the younger." Mention is made of his preaching for his brother,
in Woburn, in 1786, 1787, 1789, and 1791. In September, 1786, Mr. Samuel Sargeant was sick
with a fever, and on Sept. 3 there was on that account "no preaching "; but on other Sab-
baths of that month, and in October, Mr. Nahum Sargeant preached for him. In the latter
part of November, 1787, the Rev. Samuel Sargeant was absent on a journey to assist in the
ordination of his brother Nahum at Reading, Vt., and there preached the sermon for the
day. This sermon was published and a copy is preserved in the Woburn I'ublic Library.
Mr. Nahum Sargeant died of the small-pox, in October, 1792, his death being noted in S.
Thompson's lists. At the time of his death the disease of small-pox was prevalent in this
vicinity. The copy of the above sermon was originally the property of the Rev. Mr. Mar-
rett. The following is its title : " A sermon delivered at the introduction of the Rev. Nahum
Sargeant to the pastoral care of the church and congregation in Reading [Vermont], Nov.
23, 1787; by his l)rolher Samuel Sargeant, A. M., pastor of the First Church in Woburn. —

"NOTES FOR A CONCISE HISTORY OP WOBURN.'
By WILLIAM E. CUTTER.
Ancient Public Burial-Grounds. — In Woburn proper there are two
ancient public burial-grounds. The first and oldest of these is on Park
Street, Woburn Centre, and is probably coeval with the first settlement of
the town, 1642. The second burial-ground is on Montvale Avenue, and,
like the other, is situated near the Common. It was first opened as a parish
burial-ground in 1791, and was subsequently purchased by the town in
1824.
The First Burial-Ground. — The earliest mention of this burying-ground
in the Town Records is the comparatively late date of 1G62, and there are
no stones now standing earlier than one double dated 1689-90. The num-
ber of epitaphs in 1866, the latest one being dated 1856, was 269, which is
four less than were there in 1847. One was erected in 1872. to a person
dying in 1792, and one was erected in 1875, to a hero of 1775. Adding
these two to the four of 1847, the number is increased to 275. Of early
references to interments in the yard may be cited the following from the
first volume of the Town Records: The town debtor in 1678, to Gershom
Flagg, " for Cutler's grave," 3s. 6d. ; May 5, 1679, the selectmen appointed
John Houghton, Senior, " to ring the bell, to dig graves, and to cleanse
the meeting-house."
Two collections of the inscriptions have been made, one by Nathan
Wyman, in 1847, and another by W. R. Cutter, in 1866. Mr. Wyman's
list was published in the " N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg.," II., HI., 1848-49, but for
want of space all the material sent was not printed, and the literal trans-
cript, which was expected, did not appear. The Cutter transcript is a
literal one, with explanatory notes for each epitaph, and is in manuscript. ,
The number of headstones now standing, of date previous to 1700, is
12 to adults, and 12 to young children. The age given of the oldest per-
son of this number is 82 ; there are 4 of age from 72 to 79 ; 2 among the
60's; 1 among the 50's; 2 among the 40's; 1 among the 30's; and one
only 19 years. The ages of tlie childi'en are from a few hours, or 1 day, to
5 years, viz., 5 of age less than 7 days; 1 whose age was reckoned by
4* EXTRACT FROM NOTES FOR A
weeks; 3 whose ages were reckoned by months; and 3 whose ages were
reckoned by years. These stones are of the enduring nature of those of
the older persons, all being imported apparently from the old country.
The ground has been subjected by action of the town to some encroach-
ments of its original territory ; and, owing to these impairments, some
gravestones are known to have been relocated. It may be supposed, how-
ever, that these changes have been small, and that they have eftected little
change in the appearance of the yard. The principal entrance was for-
merly by a passageway under the rock beside the Central House, and
another entrance, in the direction of Park Street, was cut off with bars,
being the way much used in former times leading to a spring, or watering-
place, near the junction of Park and Centre Streets. The encroachments,
the past entrance near the Central House, and the way to the watering-
place appear on a plan belonging to the city, by C. Thompson, of date
1855.
The number of interments represented by headstones, during the
period from 1700 to 1750, is 12«. This number may well be used as an
illustration of the corresponding growth of the town itself. Of this num-
ber there are in all 49 male persons, of ages from 17 to 9-t years ; 9 were
over 70; 23. from 50 to 70; 12, under 40; while 5 were between 40 and 50
years. Of women there are 47, of ages from 20 to 98 years ; 6 were over
70; 12. from 50 to 70; 20, under 40; and 9, from 40 to 50 years. The
mortality of women under 40 appears large, nearly half the whole number.
Of persons below the age of adults the number is 32, of ages from 2 days
to 15 years ; under 10 are 24 ; and 8 were over 10.
In connection with this period is an interesting discovery. The only
table monument in the yard is not the monument of Elizabeth Cotton, as
might appear, but the monument of Nathaniel Saltonstall, Esq., who died
in Woburn, June 23, 1739. It is a red sandstone slab, on which are
indentations where a coat-of-arms and an inscription on tablets of lead or
stone were admitted, but which, like the original base of l)rick, long ago
disappeared. Four granite pillars now support it in a horizontal position,
and on its top reclines the slate slab of Elizabeth Cotton (1742), a niece
of Saltonstall. The executors' probate account of Saltonstall's estate,
filed with his will and inventory, Middlesex County registry, of date June
25, 1739, presents amounts of considerable size on behalf of several
persons ; such as, Ebenezer Kendall, of Woburn, for digging a grave, and
Isaac Snow, of Woburn, for coffin and plates, charges amounting to more
tlum £10. Nathaniel Lamson, a stone-cutter of Charlestown, presents a
charge of £2G for a tombstone. Thomas Moulin, an out-of-town party,
charges for use of pall and porterage, and for making a brick grave, —
bricks and lime and workmen, — a sum amounting to more than £10.
The items of tombstone, brick grave, etc., were contracted in the latter
part of July, 1739, the whole being completed on the 2r»th. The Boston
Weekly Xeiosletter for June 28, 1739, under the heading of " Boston," has
CONCISE HISTORY OF WOBURN. 5*
the following notice: "Last Saturdaj^ night, died very suddenly at
Woburn, Nathaniel Saltonstall, Esq. ; he was younger brother to the late
Governor Saltonstall, of Connecticut. A gentleman well respected among
us." He removed to Woburn before 1738. (See Woburn Journal, Jan.
19, 18^3.)
The slate slab of Elizabeth Cotton, now evidently removed from its
site, contains an epitaph unusually singular, of such phrases as she " died
a virgin," and, " if a virgin marry she hath not sinned," etc. A search at
the Middlesex registry fails to discover any papers of administration on
her estate.
The headstones from 1750 to 1775, the remaining years of the provin-
cial period, are proportionately numerous. The number erected to persons
over 25 years of age is 60, — 30 males and 30 females. Of the males, 2
were over 90, — 1 in his ninetj^-sixth j^ear; while 8 males and 9 females
were over 70. The oldest female was 81 ; 10 females were under 50, and
11 from 50 to 70. Of persons under 25, the number was 24, including 4
married females ; 15 were over 16; 1 was 6, and 8 were under 5 years.
The age of the youngest was 4 days. The number was about equally
divided as to sex. There is a noticeable decrease in the number of
headstones to children at this time, and adulatory inscriptions ai-e more
common.
From 1775 to 1793 the stones are mostly those of aged persons; the
number to children, from 1775 to 1787, being 6, of ages from 6 weeks to
3 years. The whole number to 1793 is only 36, or at most 38, counting
two of recent erection. A new burial-ground was opened in 1794, and a
small number, perhaps not over 3, were removed from this to that.
The comparatively fewer stones after 1776 sliow that the Revolution bore
hard upon the prosperity acquired by the people under the provincial
system of government. The Avar began at their vei'y doors, and little was
left afterwards for luxuries of any kind.
On March 5, 1810, the town granted the request of the heirs of Col.
Loammi Baldwin to build a tomb, the yard in which it was to be built
being left discretionary with the Standing Committee. This yard was
selected, and a granite obelisk over the tomb contains a marble tablet to
Hon. Loammi Baldwin, died 1807, set. 63; "erected by his children."
Inscriptions still more recent are those of Wyman Richardson, Esq., 1841,
and John Fowle, 2d, 1856; the latter on a marble monument, erected in
memory of James Fowle, Esq., and his descendants, on a lot deeded to
the town. Asahel Porter, killed at Lexington, April 19, 1775, was com-
memorated by a marble stone, erected April 21, 1875, by the local Grand
Army Post.
In July and August, 1874, a series of articles by the present writer
appeared in the Woburn Journal, on the subject of this and other Woburn
old cemeteries. These were intended to describe their appearance, and
gave a general account of the gravestones and the persons interred beneath

May 1, 1875; and au article was printed on the subject of the Woburn
Cemetery on Salem Street, ibid., Jan. 9, 1875. From these articles and the
lists of inscriptions, as well as the gravestones themselves, a good idea
may be obtained of the value of these monuments as a record of the past.
It had been the writer's intention to present a list of the names of those
buried beneath these memorials, but his limits have already been exceeded.
The Second Burial-Ground. — This was originally established by the
society of the First Parish in Woburn. The subject was agitated early in
1793, and at first Ensign Ichabod Parker, Mr. Daniel Reed, and Capt.
Joseph Brown were appointed a committee to see about " a new burying-
place." The Standing Committee of the parish at this period appear to
have charge of both burying-grounds, from allusions in the records to the
old one. On April 14, 1794, the parish voted to purchase of Capt. Joseph
Brown the land that had been Zachariah Brooks's, about one acre, for
their purpose, for a sum a little less than £40. The three deacons,
Samuel Thompson, Obadiah Kendall, and Josiah Richardson, with the
Standing Committee, were to fix a fence about the enclosure, make a gate,
and arrange the ground for interments. They were also to determine when
the new burying-place should be opened, and the old one shut up. Certain
members of the Baptist Society in the limits of the parish soon desired
a share in the benefits of burial in the "new burying-yard," by paying
their "proportionable part"; and on April 13. 1795, the privilege was
granted. Later in the same year, the Baptists, not owning any right, were
allowed liberty of burial, on the payment of half a dollar a grave. Later
still, April 11, 1796, all Baptists were admitted joint proprietors, on
payment of their proportional part of the expenses. In 1799, in respect
to what the parish will do " respecting the burying-yard," it was decided
that the Standing Committee shall " take care " of it, and " conduct that
article " as they think best for the interest of the parish. After the
separation of Bui'lington, in 1799, the town and the First Parish were
practically one in the eflect of their action in the matter of the burying-
grouuds Thus the town in 1806, and following years, chose committees
to take care of the meeting-house and burying-grounds. The parish Avas
incorporated as the First Congregational Parish in 1816, and in 1823 the
parish granted permission to Dr. Rufus Wyman to erect a tomb, under
supervision of the Standing Committee. At the same time, in 1823, the
parish took measures to sell their burying-ground to the town, and this
was soon accomplished for ^162.50.
The earliest dated stones are removals from the older yard, or else-
where, and many later ones have been removed to the Salem Street
Cemetery, opened in 1845. Interments have rarely been made in recent
years. Many useful characters, deserving of respectful remembrance,
are interred here : Fathers of the Revolution ; four victims of the fall of
the Clapp house-frame, July 14, 1807; school-masters, doctors, magis-

trates, the wife of a minister, and many others. There are verbatim lists
of the inscriptions here as they were iu 1847, and have been since. They
were the joint work of Dr. Benjamin Cutter and Nathan W^yman, continued
and recopied by the present writer. The number of headstones is about
350 ; some containing inscriptions to at least two persons. Dr. Cutter's
number of inscriptions was, in 18-17, counting by individuals, 365. The
one of earliest date was 1789. Of persons over 70 there were 78; 7,
over 90 years. The number under 20 was 105. Of unknown age, 2. Of
women, there are 121 over 20 years; the number under 40 and over 20,
being 47, — a very slight decrease in the mortality of that class over the
corresponding period of the previous century. The Richardson family in
Dr. Cutter's list presents an interesting instance of longevity. The num-
ber of persons of that name represented by inscriptions was 50. Of these
5 were over 90; 2 were 96; over 70 and under 90 were 16 persons;
under 20 were 4 only. Of the remaining 25, there were 12 between 40 and
70; and 13 between 20 and 40. Of the last number, 2, one aged 30 and
the other 31, were killed outright by accidents connected with the fall or
destruction of buildings. In B. Cutter's list are some twenty-four
inscriptions that are not in N. Wyman^s ; and iu the latter, to 1847, are
some accessions not found in the former; but, otherwise, they corre-
spond fairly well. Mr. Wyman continued his work after Dr. Cutter
ended, and thus obtained additions. The whole number, by individuals,
to 1870, is 388. Since 1845, the removals have been far greater than the
accessions, and some monuments have perished, from the character of
their materials, wood having in some instances been used. Since 1848,
there is one stone to a person of 24, another to one of 48 ; others to per-
sons of 71, 81, 88, 83, and 97 years : total, 7.

INTRODUCTION.
This collection of inscriptions from the gravestones now standing in
Woburn Old Burying-ground was gathered by the undersigned during the
fall of the year 18()6. The time when this ancient depository- of the dead
was first opened for interments is not definitely ascertained. -Its exist-
ence in 1662 is mentioned. ( Vide Town Records, Vol. I., page 51.)
It was doubtless extant some time prior to that date. The oldest stone
standing, z. e., bearing the earliest recorded death, is dated, old style,
" 1689-90 " (epitaph 1). Capt. Edward Johnson, author of the " Wonder-
working Providence," and the most inllueotial of the founders of Woburn,
is supposed to l)e interred in this yard. No stone to his memory is found.
When, during the present century, the wall and the town pound were
built on the western side of the yard, several skeletons were exhumed.
The earliest interments are thought to have been in this part.
In 1848—19, a list of deaths as found on the stones in this enclosure was
published in the "New England Historical and Genealogical Register"
(Vols. II. and III.), from material furnished by Nathan Wym;in, Esq.,
town clerk. For want of space, but not in accordance with that gentle-
man's first design, a literal transcript of inscriptions was not attempted ;
and in that production, names, dates, ages, and poetry, almost without
exception, were alone presented.

scendant of John Fox, the raartyrologist, graduated at Harvard College,
1665 ; settled, as colleague, with Rev. Thomas Carter, the first minister of
"Woburn, Sept. 5, 1679; and fell a victim to the small-pox in Boston, Feb.
28, 1702-3, aged 56. The skeleton of a discourse, delivered by him at
Cambridge, July 23, 1678, taken from the delivery by Rev. Nathaniel
Gookin, then a student in Harvard College, but afterwards pastor of the
church in Cambridge, is preserved. Mr. Aldeu concludes his article wath
a copy of the above manuscript, which is again presented in Sewall's " His-
tory of Woburn," pp. 100, 143. ( Vide Sibley's Harvard Graduates, Vol. II. ,

( Vide Woburn Journal, June 5, 1869.)
Rev. John Fox, son of Rev. Jabez Fox, of AVoburn, graduated from
Harvard College in 1698; was grammar-school master of his native town
for several years; succeeded his father in the ministry at Woburn, Oct. 4,
1703, and continued there until his death', Dec. 12, 17.t6, aged 77. He was
unhappily deprived of his eyesight for about fifteen years before his death,
but, however, preached occasionally in this time, and often catechised the
youth of his parish, who used to resort to his house for this purpose, and
to receive his pious counsels and exhortations.
Rev. Edwartl Jackson was his colleague for a considerable time, and
died. Rev. Josiah Sherman, also, was ordained his colleague about a year
before his death.
Mr. Fox married Mary, daughter of Hon. Edward Tyng, of Massachu-
setts (brother of Col. Jonathan Tyng, died in Woburn, 1724 [epitaph 83]),
who, being appointed governor of Annapolis, was taken on his passage to
that place, carried to France, and there died. (See Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc,
Vol. X.) Mr. Fox was author of two sermons extant on Sam. i. 14, 15,
occasioned by the great earthquake of Oct. 29, 1727.
Mrs. Mary Fox survived her luisband eight or ten years [died February,
1764], but no stone has been erected to designate the spot of their inter-
ment. Issue : —
1. John, in early life went to Ireland to live with a wealthy relative.
2. Jabez (Hon.), spent his days at Fsdmouth, now Portland, Me.
3. Thomas, a goldsmith, lived in Boston.
4. Edwai'd, lost at sea on his passage to England.
5. Jonathan (Col.), lived and died in Woburn.
6. Mary, married Rev. IIal)ijah Weld, Attlcboro'.
Rev. Habijah Weld was third minister of Attleboro', where he was set-
tled in 1726. Mr. Weld was a man of extraordinary virtues, and preached
in that place 55 years. He received from his parishioners an annual salary
of two hundred and twenty dollars, and the use of a parsonage lot whicii
furnished him with wood, and a little pasture. With a scanty patrimony
he purchased a small house and farm; and with these means he educated

Hon. Jabez Fox, second son of Rev. John Fox, died Portland, Me.,
April 7, 1755, aged fifty. His first wife, a Boston lady, died soon after
marriage [Aug. 5, 1746; was buried in Woburn. See epitaph 127.]
His second wife, Ann, widow of Phineas Jones, died June 9, 17.".8, aged
43. He graduated at Harvard College in 1727, studied divinity and be-
came a preacher of the gospel His health being aftected by .speaking in
public, his slender constitution was unable to endure the onerous duties
of the ministry, and thus he was forced to relinquish his intended favorite
profession. He fixed his abode in the city where he eventually died, and
was for a few years a member of the Executive Council of Massachu-
setts. (Ibid , Vol. L, Art. 118.)
Mary (Fox) Weld, daughter of Rev. John Fox, and wife of Rev.
Habijah Weld, of Attleboro', Mass., died Jan. 7, 17'J9. aged 93. "Pas-
senger, aspire not to her age, but to imitate her life, Avhich was a real
ornament to the Christian profession." (Gravestone ) Her daughter,
Sarah Weld, married Rev. Timothy Alden, of Yarmouth, Mass The
latter were parents of Rev. Timothy Alden, of Newark, N. J., author of

where the late Capt. John I. Richardson's place is. On the morning of
April 19, 1775, he rode to North Woburn to rouse the people to resist the
foe. He declared his determination to oppose the enemy, even if he alone
were to do it. Early in the afternoon during the retreat of the enemy
from Concord, he was shot dead in Lincoln by a British grenadier. His
remains and those of Asahel Porter, the other Woburn man who fell on
that eventful day, were interred in Woburn on Friday, April 21, follow-
ing. Before the imerment, Rev. Josiah Sherman, of Woburn, delivered
a very suitable sermon and prayer. A multitude of persons who assem-
bled on the occasion from Woburn and the neighboring towns attended
the remains to the grave. ( Vide Vinton Memorial, 384, 385, note; Froth-

No stone to the memoi-y of Asahel Porter in this yard exists; whether
one Avas ever erected is very doubtful. The following few particulars
regarding this individual may not be out of place. [A stone was erected
April 21, 1875, by the G. A. R.]
He was the son of William Porter, and was sliot down by the British
in the early part of the day on the Common at Lexington. Having pre-
viously been taken prisoner on their march, he was killed by his captoi's
as he was endeavoring to efl'ect his escape. ( Vide Sewall's Woburn, 362;

" A Reminiscence. — Dr. Loring in his address at Lexington on the
19th, referred to Asahel Porter. This has reminded a gentleman of
Woburn Avho Avas present last Wednesday, of an account of the death of
Porter. It seems that Asahel Porter and Richardson set out on the
moiniing of the battle to go to market. Richardson lived Avhere Capt.
Woodberry's store in Woburn noAv stands. They started for Boston and
their route lay through West Cambridg^e. They Avere mounted on horses
Avith their market stuff in panniers. Near West Cambridge they Avere
halted by the advancing column of the British. In spite of their asser-
tion that they Avere peaceable citizens, they were made prisoners and made
to accompany the troops to Lexington. Here the British set them at
liberty on condition they should go peaceably about their business.

At this period the town was divided into two parishes : the first now
including the present towns of Woburn and Winchester; the second
including what is now Burlington, and which was separated from the
First Parish in 1730, and incorporated as the town of Burlington in 1799..
In the First Parish at this time were only two religious societies. All in-
habitants of the First Parish were rated as members of said parish, save

terest of the Parisli "
After the separation of the First and Second Parishes of the town by
tlie incorporation of Burlington, in 1799, tlie First Parish and the town
were in ett'ect one and the same organization. Plence the town in 1806 and
following years chose committees to tal^e care of tlie meeting-house and
burying-grounds in the limits of what had been the First Parish, articles
being inserted in the warrants for town meetings for this purpose. 'J he
First Congregational Parish of Woburn was incorporated in the year 1810,
and was the legitimate advancement of the old First Parish, preservative
of the old organization. This body still retained the bur^ ing-j-ard. In a
warrant of the parish dated March 7, 1823, is an article: Art. 8. "To
see if the Parish will give liberty to Doct. Hufus Wyman to erect a tomb
in the new burying ground, or do anything respecting the same."
April 14, 1823. " Voted, that liberty be given to Doct. Rufus Wyman
to erect a Tomb in the new burying Ground, under the direction of the

ing the same."

their Burying Ground on advantageous and honorable terms for the Town

to confer with the committees of the Town, and make such agreement
with said committee as they shall think proper, and report to the Parish
their doings." Bartholomew Richardson, Calvin Richardson, and Jonas
Hale were this committee.
April 21, 1823. "Voted, that the Parish take measures to sell their
burying ground to the Town for the sum of $1' 2.50. Voted, to authorize
their Treasurer to convey to the Town by deed the burying ground, and
take the Town's security for the same."
March 9, 1824. Warrant: Art. 9. "To see if the Parish will direct
their Treasurer to give a deed to the Town of their burying ground, or do
anything," etc.
March 22, 1824. " Voted, to dismiss."
In 1824, the Eirst Church voted that a bell on their meeting-house, pro-
cured previously by subscription, should be tolled at funei'als. This was
probably the origin of that custom in Woburu.

The account of the accident wliich caused Parker's. Wright's, and Rich-
ardson's deaths is tlie following extract from the first newspaper article
ever published by W. R. Cutter. It formed part of an article printed by
him in the Woburn Journal for Feb. 6, 1869 : —
THE FALL OF THE CLAPP HOUSE FRAME, JULY 14, 1817.
On July 14, 1807, an important event occurred in Woburn, which veiled
the entire community with sorrow, and proved long the common topic of
conversation in all the region round about. This memorable occurrence,
not noticed in our admirable town history, recently putdished, is well re-
membered by the aged among us. We refer to the lamentable accident at
the building of the " Clapp Mansion," that large, square house of three
stories, standing until a recent date at Central Square. It was the fashion
to rear tlie frame of the sides of the dwellings complete; and "raisings,"
as they were called, were rendered important in the eyes of the general
public by the provision of the xxswdl popular entertainment for all strangers
attending not invited to private houses.
Major Jeremiah Clapp, Esq., being a man of wealth and importance, tlie
erection of tlie frame of his dwelling, of more than ordinary dimensions,
commanded an unusual attendance of guests and assistants. Two sides
of the miinsiou, to be of brick, put in after the frame was raised, were
ill supplied with the necessary braces. Consequently, when the timbers
intended for the crown roof were passed to the top of the structure,
together with thirty or more persons to construct the same, it was casu-
ally noticed by certain of the spectators that the frame leaned percepti-
bly to the west. The raising was nearly finished, the hour of six had
arrived, and the expectant workmen hopefully ruminated on tlie prospec-
tive festivity of the evening. The frame leans more discernibly than
before ; it is too late to avoid the calamity ; all eflbrts are in vain ; the frame
falls with an awful crash, heard miles distant. A cry of agony ensues,
too fearful to be ever forgotten ; the spectators stand aghast at the ca-
tastrophe. Then followed a confusion that baffles description. There
was a rush to extricate those buried in the ruins.
80* EPITArHS, SECOND BURIAL-GROUND.
Joshua Richardson and Samuel Wright, yonug men of promise, were
instantly killed, and their bodies were removed, horribly mangled. John
Lyman, of North Woburn, after excruciating suffering, died the same
night. Nathan Parker, an industrious and ingenious tradesman, died dur-
ing the week, leaving a wife and tive children " to lament the loss of one
of'the best of husbands and fathers." Thirty or forty individuals, " the
strong men of our town," were wounded in an inconceivable variety of
ways. Some lingered months, and even years, until death eventually re-
lieved them of pain. -Others were crippled for life, and many gradually
recovered from their injuries. Jonathan Tidd, of North Woburn, liad
his back broken, and never walked readily afterwards Capt. Ishmael
Munroe, of Burlington, Deacon Benjamin Wyman, Capt John Edgell, Josiah
Parker, Jonathan Thompson, Jacob Converse, and many others of promi-
nence, were likewise among the wounded.
The funeral of Richardson, Wright, and Lyman was held in the Third
Meeting-House. Rev. Joseph Chickering, the pastor, preached an appro-
priate discourse to a large and sorrowing audience, from the text : " And,
behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four
corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead;
and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." Job i. 19.
Richardson and Wright were both about to be married, and their be-
reaved ladies appeared with the chief mourners at the obsequies. The
gravestones of Richardson, Wright, and Parker are found in the Second
Burying-Ground, adorned with inscriptions uniquely descriptive of their
several virtues, and eulogistic of the merit thus untimely lost to the
town.
(44.) " This stone erected in Memory of Mrs. Elizabeth Richardson
wife of Mr Zachariah Richardson; she died Aug. 5, 1807 Aged 65 years."
" Read this & weep, but not for me

That I may rest with Chiist above,
In peace & joy and endless love."
Elizabeth (Brooks) Richardson, wife of Zachariah Richardson (epitaph
69), married Dec. 80, 1767. She was born April 22, 1742; daughter of
Nathaniel and Submit (Poulter) Brooks, and grand-daughter of Jabez and

When God did call, without a moan
Yielded his breath without a groan."

LONGEVITY IN WOBURN.
By William K. Cutter.
Longevity. — Closely coiuiected with the subjects last treated * are the
facts of longevity. A list of all the persons found in the records to the
present time, who have died in AVoburu at the age of 80 years and over,
has been made ; and the list is much longer than might be supposed, the
later years, owing to the increased population and the improved methods
of subsistence, showing a large number. Previous to the Revolution, it
was not customary to record the ages in the town records, and such ages
as are found are talcen from gravestones. The town record of deaths
begins in 1642. The first recorded age of a person over 80 is in 1699.
For one hundred years, to 1799, tlie list is a short one. For the half-cen-
tury from 1799 to 1850, the list is a longer one; and from 1850 to the
present time, it is longer than all the rest put together.
From 1699 to 1799, the whole number is 68; over 90 are 18. The name
of Richardson is represented by 8 persons ; Johnson, by 6 ; Wright, 5 ;
Reed, 4; Wyman, 4; Symmes, 3; all others, 38. Of 95 years and over,
are 10; 1, 95; 5, 96; 1, 97; 1, 98; and 2, 99. The names of these very
aged persons were as follows : —
James Converse. 1715, 95; Judith Tyng (widow of Col. Jonathan), 1736,
99; George Reed, 1756, 96; Abigail Baldwin (widow of Henry), 1771, 96;
Catherine Spear (widow of John), 1775, 96; Mr. Perry, 1777, 98; Judith
Proctor. 1783,96; Samuel Carter, 1787, 96; Rebecca Russell (widow of
Samuel), 1791, 99; Joseph Johnson, 1798, 97.
From 1799 to 1850, the whole number is 115 ; over 90 are 22. The name
of Richardson is represented by 20 persons ; Thompson, l)y 7 ; Reed, 6 ;
Johnson, 5; Kendall, 5; Converse, 4; Leathe, 4; Wyman, 4; all others,
60. Of 95 years and over, are 8; over 100, 2; over 110, 1; the oldest
being accredited with the age of 115. There are 5 of 96; 1 of 98; 1 of
104 ; and 1 of 115 years of age. The names of these were as follows : —
Chloe, a black (belonging to Medford), 1804, 104; Joseph Richardson,
1823, 96; Prince Walker, a black man, 1825, 115 ; Widow Holden, 1830, 96 ;
Abel Richardson, 1831, 96; Edward Richardson, 1837, 96; Keziah Thomp-
son, 1845. '.16; Abigail Flagg, 1847, 98.
From 1850 to Aug. 30, 188'.t, the whole number is 330; over 90, 44;
over 100, 3. Two are accredited with the age of 110; 1 was 101; 2 were
99 ; 2, 97 ; 1, 96 ; 2, 95. The names of the ten oldest were as follows : —
* That is, the burial-grounds.
15G* LONGEVITY IX WOBUKN.
Susanna Ash. 1854, 95 years, 9 mouths; Mary McLaughlin, 1804,97;
Mary Eichardson, 1864, 99 years, 7 months, 14 days; Jesse Converse,
1804, 99 years, 5 months, 8 days; Joshua Converse, 1868, 101 years, in
days; Ellen O'Neil, 1872, 96 years, 5 months, 16 days; Kuth Wood, 1882,
95 years, 22 days; Dolly Taylor, 1882, 97 years, 2 months, 25 days;
Mary McVicker, 1885, 110; Jane Burkeland, 1888, 110.
The ages in the above list are those given in the town records. In the
case of very aged persons, the estimated age is apt to be placed too high.
In the last century, the contemporary diarist would often record that such
and such a person died " aged 90 or more " ; " 92 or more " ; "aged 96 or
97"; "almost 100," etc.; showing a praiseworthj- caution in accepting
tlie facts currently stated; and our examination of such data shoAvs that
the lesser number given is nearer the truth; as, for instance, the person
" aged 90 or more," is actually found to be 90, or more nearly 90 than any
other age. It is also true that there appears to be very little examination,
if any, of the local records, in many of these cases, to ascertain the exact
date of birth ; the friends evidently falling back upon the old habit of
fixing the years by comparison with the dates of occurrences that were
believed to have happened about the same time; and, in this, thej'
depended much on their memory, not depending on accurate chronological
records, which were not generally kept. There is no reason to doubt,
however, that the persons mentioned were verj^ old, and that the}' all had
lived till they were upwards of a century, even if the time of their birth is
not substantiated by the presence of accurate written records. The facts
we have given may not be valuable scientifically, but are interesting his-
torically. It will be noticed that three of the oldest persons in our list
are blacks, aged respectively, 104, 110, and 115; these ages may be much
exaggerated, but it is a fact stated by scientists, that while the life of a
negro in Africa may be short, the negro, when transplanted to America,
enjoys a longer life, longer, perhaps, on an average, than the majority of
the whites. Thus there are many centenarians among that race. A fcAV
particulars regarding the persons whose names we have cited as Instances
of extreme longevity are here given.
Of the first group (1699-1799), James Converse, died " in the 95th year
of his age." — gravestone,— was the last survivor of the thirty-two sub-
sci-ibers to the town orders of "Woburu, 1640, or of the original Woburn
settlers of that year. He came to this country with his father, Edward
Converse, when he was about ten years old. Judith Tyng was formerly
the wife of the Rev. Jaljez Fox, of Woburn, and daughter of the elder
Rev. Jolni Reyner, minister of Plymouth, and of Dover, N. II., also. She
died " in the 99th year of her age," — gravestone,— on which she is said to
have been " a woman of most exemplar^' virtue and pietj-, rich in grace,
ripe for glory." Her epitaph is given by her descendant Alden, Coll., I.,
229 ; also in Sewall's Woburn, 14i'. The Rev. Timothy Alden, Coll., I., 225,
published in 1814, gives also an extended account of the family of Rev.

Jabez Fox, his ancestor. Savage does not give the date of birth of Judith
(Eeyuer-Fox) Tyug, but credits her as the issue of her father's second
marriage, which occurred in 1642. According to her gravestone, her
bii'tli would appear to liave occurred in 1638 ; and if slie was tlie issue of
a marriage that occurred in 1612, her age is evidently overstated. There
is this to say, however; her family connections by blood and marriage
were of the highest to be found in the Colonies, both for intelligence and
wealth, and weight of character, and Savage may be mistaken in assign-
ing her as the child of a later marriage of her father, when she may have
been a child of an earlier marriage, or of his first. We cannot believe
otherwise than that her family connections were perso'ns of sufficient
intelligence to know her precise age, and that they saw to it that her age
was correctly given on her gravestone.
She is also the person referred to in the papers on the Fox-Jackson
ministerial controversy in Woburn, where an ex-parte council of Mr.
Jackson's own choosing, in December, 1746, passed an unfavorable judg-
ment upon his conduct, touching that part of Article 6, of the accusations
of the complainants against him, in which, after the IJev. John Fox and
his wife had put up a note desiring that the death of their " aged mother "^
might be sanctified, etc., Mr. Jackson then prayed in a manner highly
unbecoming to a Christian minister.
George Reed died " in the 96th year of his age," — gravestone,— was a
deacon, and was born in Woburn, Sept. 14, 1660; his age was therefore
correctly given as his 96th year, since he was actually 95 years, 4 months,
6 days old. {Cf. Sewall's Woburn, 631, 632; History Reed Fam., 105.)
Abigail Baldwin was Abigail Fisk before marriage. Samuel Thomp-
son, Esq., the diarist, says her age was "96 or 97" when she died,
and her name is the first in his consecutive list of deaths. She was born
in Cambridge, " 1. 2. 1674" [April 1, 1674]. (Cambridge Records.) She
was therefore about 96 years, 9 months, and her age, as stated above,
is quite correctly given. {Cf. Paige's Cambridge, 546; Hudson's Lex
ington, 69, 70; Vinton's Richardson Memorial, 44, 45.)
Catherine Spear and Mr. Perry. These two were temporary residents
it is supposed, in the town, on account of the Revolutionary War. The
town contained a number of refugees at that period. Neither are their
names those of long-standing Woburn families at that time. " Old Mrs.
Spear" died, aged "almost 100," says S. Thompson in his list; but he
omits all mention of old Mr. Perry. In the absence of other data of a
definite character, the presumption is that the facts of very advanced age,
as given in the cases of these two old persons, are evidently correct.*
* The Widow Spear resided in Rev. John Marrett's parish (Woburn Second Precinct, now
Burlington), and he attended her funeral, which occurred on Nov. 30,1775. John Spear,
probably her husband, was one of the original members of the Burlington, or Woburn, Pre-
cinct Church, 1735. She was, therefore, a more permanent resident than the statement above
made would imply.

Judith Proctor. The same remarks in the above two cases apph* in
part to this. She is not mentioned in S. Thompson's list. We have no
Ueflnite information, other than the record of her death.
Samuel Carter. " Capt. Samuel Carter," says S. Thompson, " died,"
and was " buried this week" (Jan. 21-27, 1787), " aged 92 j^ears or more."
Died Jan. 21, 1787, aged 92, according to gravestone at Arlington. He
was born in Woburn, Oct. 31, 1694, and, at his death, was actually 92
years, 2 months, 20 days. His age, as given in the records, is therefore
overstated, the record of the diarist and the gravestone being right.
((7/. Sewall's Woburn, 598; Cutter's Cutter Family, 44, 377; Cutter's
Arlington, 201', 202.)
Rebecca Russell. ' ' Widow Russell died, aged about 98," says S. Thomp-
son in diary. Her maiden name was Kendall. She was born in Woburn,
Jan. 26, 1694-5. Her actual age at death was 96 years, 6 months, or 96^.
Her age, as given in the records, was therefore overstated. (0/. Sew-
all's Woburn, 621 ; Locke's Book of the Lockes, 28 ; N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg.,
XXXIX., 20).
Joseph Johnson. "Lieut. Joseph Johnson, 2d Parish, died, aged 97,"
remarks S. Thompson in his diary. He was born in Woburn, Feb. 9,
1701-2. If this date is correct, his age is but little overstated ; and if 1701
is the year, 97 years is right. {Gf. Poole's W. W. Prov. introd. cli.)
Of the second group (1799-1850), Chloe, the black, is described by S.
Thompson in his diary as an " aged negro woman," dying in Woburn, but
"buried at Medford " ; she being " said to be 100 years old."
Joseph Richardson was born in Woburn, Feb. 9, 1726-7. His age
was therefore correctly stated. {Cf. Vinton's R. Mem., 254, 255, and his
Vinton Mem., 389.)
Prince Walker, the black man, was an interesting character. He was
the servant or slave of the Rev. Timothy Walker, the first minister of
Concord, N. H. The master originated in Woburn, and the slave is sup-
posed to have originated here also, though his birth is not discoverable on
the records. That he died at the Woburn almshouse, after an extended
residence there, would show that he was probably a native of the town.
The Countess of Rumford, grand-daughter of Rev. Timothy Walker,
alludes to him in her memoirs. {Cf. Ellis's Life of Rumford, 228; Diaries
of Rev. Timothy Walker, ed. 1889, 25, 30, 31, 32, 35, 37, 38, 44, 45; Bou-
ton's Concord, N. PL, 252, 253.)
Widow Holden. No further detinite information. A reference to the
church records has led to an examination of the early printed church cata-
logues for the full name of this person, and in that of 1827, the name of
Abigail Holden, adra., Nov., 1817, is found; alive in 1827, — called Mrs.
William Holden, in that of 1832, in which her name is ei'ased as a person
deceased ; the copies referred to being marked copies belonging to the
church otticers.
AiJEL Richardson. '• -^t. 96," — gravestone. He was born in Woburn,
LONGEVITY IN WOBURN. 159*
Oct. 2B, 1736. His age, at death, therefore, would be 94 years, 7 months,
4 days, ^tatis signifies "year of age"; the equivalent of the phrase
"in the — th year of his (or her) age," so frequently used on the stones
in the First (or earliest) Buryiug-Ground. Abel Eichardson was interred
in the Second Burying-Ground. He evidently died in his 95th year, and
his age in the records and on the gravestone is overstated. {Cf. Vin-
ton's R. Mem., 257, and his Vinton Mem., 390; Thompson's Thompson
Mem., 33.)
Edward Richardson. " Mt. 96," — gravestone. He was born in Read-
ing, Aug. 25, 1743, and his age at death was 94 years, 2 months, 22 days.
His age in the records and on the gravestone is therefore overstated. The
gravestone in the Second Burying-Ground was " erected by Job Richard-
son," a son. {Cf. Vinton's R. Mem. 251, 252; Vinton Mem . 388, 389.)
Keziah Thompson. Unmarried. Born in Woburn, Feb. 15, 1747-8.
Age at death, 97 years, 25 days, if the year of birth is correctly placed.
She was certainly 96 years old, and her age as given in the records is
not overstated. {Cf. Thompson's Thompson Mem., 33.)
Abigail Flagg. The G%dde-post, Woburn, Feb. 4, 1847, under deaths,
has this notice, "In this town, Widow Abigail Flagg, 99 years," — one
year more than the age credited to her in the records. She was born at
Wilmington, March 9, 1747-48, and her age, therefore, would be 98 years,
10 mouths, 22 days, if the double date is correctly placed. One authority
says she was born March 9, 1747 ; while auotlier says the date was March
9, 1748. The earlier date would make her age 99. Her maiden name was
Thompson. {Cf. Thompson's Tliompson Mem., 37.)
Of the third group (1850 to Aug. 30, 1889), the following particulars may
be given : —
Susanna Ash. Age given as 95, In deaths, Woburn Jonrnal, March 18,
1854. Widow. Born at Ipswich. Maiden name, Marshall. ( (7/. Woburn

Maiden name, McFall. (Records.)
Mary Richardson. Unmarried. Born in Woburn, Aug. 18, 1764,
daughter of Abel Richardson, of the second group. Her age is correctly

and his Vinton Mem., 390; Woburn Journal, deaths, April 2, 1864; Wo-
burn Townsman, April 1, 1864.)
Jesse Converse. Born in Woburn, Feb. 9, 1765. ( Cf. Sewall's Woburn,

notice; also notice from family.)
Mary McVicker. Unmarried. Native of Greenock, Scotland. (Cf.
notice in Woburn Advertiser, Oct. 22, 1885, where a belief in her still
greater age is expressed.)
Jane Burkelanc. Colored. Born a slave in Richmond, Va. (Cf.
Woburn Advertiser, May 17, 1888, and Woburn Journal, May 18, 25, 1888,
deaths and notices. In the latter it is stated that she had seen Gen.
Washington.)
