About Captain Samuel Aspinwall

In 1727, at the age of sixty-five, the Captain was drowned in Charles River, not far from his farm. One can imagine something of the sensation this event must have produced in this thinly settled town; the loss of so prominent a citizen, the search for the body, — the military procession, for he was buried under arms, — the long funeral sermon, probably in the little church then only ten years built, — the vacant seat in the square pew, "in the northwest corner," -- the muffled drums, and the volley fired over the grave.
