Beverly, Mass., May 22, 1802; she died in 1887; he died May 1, 1852. He
was a man of enterprise, and accumulated considerable property, which by
the terms of his will, was left to trustee to accumulate until it, in
their judgment, was sufficient to build a Baptist Theological School,
his garden to be the site upon which it should be located, and his
mansion house to be a boarding house or dormitory for the students. As
yet nothing has been done to carry out the provisions of the will by the
trustees.
