1750 August 1 (Wednesday). We have Still so much to do at the Meadow that Joseph Bruce, though his Time agreed to be out, yet at Ebenezers Desire, I detain to work for me. Mr. Abner Newton was buryed. A large Funeral. He dy’d in the middst of his Days, being in his 42nd Year. I hope he dy’d in Christ, and in him I have lost a very valuable and generous Friend. The Lord Sanctify it to Me and to the Neighbourhood, who Seem sensibly to feel the Loss. Mrs. Newton requested that my Wife and I would return to her House after burying which we did and Supped with the Mourners, Bearers and the other Friends.
