HISTORY OF MILLBURY
Children: 1. Harvey, b. Nov. 9, 1797, d. Oct. 7, 1801; 2. Lucy, b. June 3, 1799; 3. Harvey, b. June 26, 1802, d. July 3, 1803; 4. Peter, b. Jan. 30, 1804; 5. Lydia K., b. Nov. 10, 1805.
Rev. Nathan4 Holman (Lt. David,3 Edward2, Solaman1), son of Lieut. David3 and Lucy (Thurston) Holman, was born in that part of Sutton which is now West Millbury, May 17, 1769, and died Oct. 28, 1844, in Attleboro, Mass. He married, Nov. 23, 1801, Lettice Morey, dau. of the Hon. Samuel and Mary (Hodges) Morey. She was born Dec. 25, 1768, in Norton, Mass., and died Mar. 6, 1848, aged 79.
Nathan Holman labored on his father's farm until his twenty-first year, when his ardent thirst for knowledge set him to work to procure a liberal education. He could expect but little assistance from his father, who had eleven children, but by uncommon adherence to his cherished purpose he succeeded. He was graduated from Brown University, Providence, R. I., in 1797, and later took the degree of A. M. with distinguished honors. He studied theology with the Rev. Dr. Emmons. Oct. 15, 1800, he was ordained in Attleboro, succeeding the Rev. Ebenezer Lazell, and labored there for twenty-one years after which he was dismissed, May 22, 1821, to the regret of his people, but he continued his residence there and supplied vacant pulpits. He died suddenly Oct. 28, 1844, at the age of 79. His monument is conspicuous in the burying-ground north of the meeting-house. A pyramidal shaft has upon it above the usual dates the brief inscription, "Look to God."
The following lines were written by Mr. Holman at the end of his freshman year and posted in his room at college in 1794.
"RULES FOR REGULATING MY CONDUCT.
"I. Never to neglect the addressing myself to the Supreme Governor of the Universe, morning and evening.
"II. To be particularly careful to shun all bad company, such as use pro- fane and vulgar language, and are inattentive to their moral conduct.
"III. Never to speak in a jesting romantic way, but always to speak the truth, and in sincerity.
"IV. Never to make the foibles and imperfections of others the theme of discourse, but when others do this, to speak well of the person thus spoken against, if possible.
"V. At all times and in all places to treat every person with proper respect, as their station requires.
"VI. To be particularly careful to keep the Sabbath, avoiding all things unnecessary to be performed on that day, and refraining as far as possible from the vanities that are so apt to attract the unwary mind.
"It is my earnest desire that I may pay proper attention to the above rules, and I do this day determine, the Grace of God assisting me, that I will follow them.
(signed) "NATHAN HOLMAN."
