1755 June 9 (Monday). Went over to the Funeral of Captain James Eager,[1] who dy’d last Saturday Morning in the 69th year of his age. My Company chiefly in going and returning was Captain Baker and his wife. N.B. My Kinsman Bryant of Stoneham, going to Grafton, call’d here. I would Seriously reflect upon my own Speedy Departure. O that God would fasten and ripen the Impressions upon Me!
