1756 January 24 (Saturday). We hear of the Deaths of Several at Marlborough; viz. Mr. Joseph Morse, Lt. Jedidiah Brighams Wife — but in our own Town dye Mr. Elisha Ward, another son of Coll. William Ward. A Sorrowful Stroke! May we make proper Reflections upon it! Nathaniel Longley Chamberlin was buryed; and his Father still confined from this Funeral also, by reason of the low state of the Family. His Wife and daughter Mary very bad, and the youngest child taken ill and cleaves to her Father. A Mournful House! Mr. Stone of Southborough So indisposed he could not be there — hear that the Doctor (Willson) prayed at the Funeral. Mr. Forb. came here at Evening and lodged here.
