The easterly end of the Dana Tavern had a shop attached to it in which Mr. Peter Parker, the original owner of the building, worked at shoe- making. His son John Parker, born in that house, became a very wealthy man, and his name is still perpetuated by "Parker Hill" on which he lived, and "Parker Street," which passed his house. He held important and very successful contracts under the United States government during the second war with England. H. F. W., p. 50.

Mr. Samuel Philbrick, who was one of the pioneers in anti-slavery reform at a time when a man must have had in him the courage and the persever- ance of a martyr to dare identify himself with so unpopular a cause, was a worshipper at the First Church for years.
He was born and educated among the Friends or Quakers, but did not identify himself with them in later years, though his marriage was consum- mated according to the peculiar forms or usages of that sect. Mr. Phil- brick never united with the Unitarian Church, as a member. He was a man of wealth and influence and occupied a central pew in the church. He was the friend of Garrison, May, Phillips, and others of the leading abolitionists of those days, and his house was one of the way-stations of "the underground railroad," which here and there gave brief shelter and rest for the fugitives, on the way from Mason and Dixon's line to Canada.
Mr. Philbrick outlived much of the odium attached to the name of "abolitionist," and saw their ranks swelled by thousands after the rendition of Anthony Burns. He died, however, in September, 1859, before the triumph of the principles for which he had sacrificed convenience and popularity.
In less than ten years from that time his son was supervising the indus- tries and economies of the freedmen of South Carolina without molestation or hindrance. H. F. W., p. 270-274.

Mr. Pierce was a native of Dorchester, and a cousin of Rev. Dr. Pierce, and long a member of the choir of the First Church. Whether living in a house which had once served the Revolutionary soldiers as a barrack in- spired him with patriotic ferver or not, we do not know, but when he was seventy years of age he walked to Concord, Mass., and back, on the occa- sion of the laying of the corner-stone of the battle monument, to hear Webster's oration, a distance of eighteen miles each way. His widow, a much beloved lady of the olden style, survived him several years.
Mr. James Pierce also played the bass-viol, as well as sang in the choir of the First Church, he took his little daughters into "the singers' seats," when they were so small that they were obliged to stand on crickets to bring their heads above the balustrade. One of them, who was afterwards the wife of Charles Stearns, Jr., was for years the leader of the female voices.

Miss A. B. Poor. Dr. Pierce was graduated, holding high rank in his class, at Harvard Col- lege in 1793. He was for the two succeeding years assistant preceptor at Leicester Academy. In 1795, he commenced the study of theology with Rev. Thaddeus Harris, of Dorchester.
In 1797 he was invited to fill the vacancy in the Brookline Church caused by the death of Mr. Jackson. He held at that time a tutorship at Harvard College. He was ordained pastor of the Brookline Church, March 15, 1797.
In October of the following year he was married to Abigail Lovell, of Medway, who had been one of his pupils at the Academy. She died in July 1800, leaving an infant son, who lived but three years.
In 1802 Dr. Pierce was married to Lucy Tappan of Northampton, a lady beloved for her quiet virtues, and who lived to a venerated old age. H. F. W., p. 251.

Henry Varnum Poor. 1812-1905. His wife, Mary W. (Pierce) Poor. 1820-1912, buried at Andover, Maine.
Mrs. Poor as the daughter of Dr. Pierce and sister-in-law of Dr. Hedge, was a person of especial interest. Mr. Poor I always think of as possessing a quite unusual combination of qualities.
To know Mr. Poor aright, one should have seen him on "his native heath." It was once my happy privilege to spend some days with him among the scenes of his boyhood in Andover, Maine. There all the sweet- ness of his nature came forth in full strength. He loved those great hills passionately, and especially it was his delight to follow up and explore the dim recesses of a mountain stream. Could I visit that place again, I think I should know that he was with me, and that his delight in its natural beauty was still undimmed. H. N. B., p. 13.
