I273. To the | memory | of | SAMUEL DAVIS A.M. | who died | July 10. AD. 1829 | in the 65th year of his age.
From life on earth our pensive friend retires, His dust commingling with the pilgrim sires;
In thoughtful walks, their every path he trac'd, Their toils, their tombs, his faithful page embrac'd, Peaceful, and pure, and innocent as they, With them to rise to everlasting day.
SAMUEL DAVIS, Esq., was the son of Thomas and Mercy (Hedge) Davis of Ply- mouth, born Mar. 5, 1765. Mr. Davis was truly an antiquarian, and few men within our social circle possessed a greater fund of correct information relative to the charac- ter and circumstances of our primitive fathers. He contributed many articles of historical interest concerning the towns in Plymouth County, to the Massachusetts Historical Society's collection. He was, says the writer of an obituary notice, "the man to whom the inquisitive stranger was, by all of us, promptly referred. There was an accuracy and precision in the habit of his mind, that made all his minute and curious information perfectly to be relied on. He was what the world would call a man of leisure; but this leisure was no ignoble escape from thought; but was usually exactly adapted to its full gratification. He loved the characters of the pilgrims. Hc loved to trace out their original allotments, their first rude dwellings. He knew their sons and daughters, their intermarriages, their changes of abode, the living branches and the scions, that became new stocks in the most distant states. Of all these things he made copious memoranda. It is easy to infer the moral traits of an intellectual man, who, fond of history and biography, yet turned with disgust from the Cæsars, the Charleses, and Napoleons, and for thirty years persevered with delight in learning the minutest particulars of men like the pilgrims. The reader would be sure that he had, in the proper use of the word, simplicity of mind; that he was unostentatious and meck, and pure, and a lover of every age and clime. If he had peculiarities, they did not arise out of disordered affections, or from bitter ingredients in the composition of his mind; but were the natural growth of a life of celibacy, and seclusion of a mind less forcibly acted upon than most others, by the events and prevalent passions of the times he lived in."
The manner of his death was remarkable. Having walked out in the evening, he retired to his chamber about ten o'clock, his usual hour, and made an entry in his diary of the state of the weather. At breakfast time the next morning he was found a corpse, his arms folded on his breast without any indication that departing life had occasioned the least struggle, so tranquil was the end of his peaceful life.
