BIOGRAPHICAL.


THE OLD SEXTON.


Those who have made an annual pilgrimage to Plymouth of late years have missed the genial and kind- hearted "OLD SEXTON." He no longer can be seen at the entrance of the church door, tolling the bell, nor travelling among the graves of those he long since laid away. His name was Clement Bates, a native of Hanover, Mass., born Oct. 4, 1792. He was the son of Clement and Rebecca (Stetson) Bates, and died July 13, 1885, at the age of nearly 93 years. Mr. Bates came to Plymouth in 1809, and previous to 1831 worked at the trade of caulker and graver. In that year he was chosen sexton of the First Parish and of the town, to which which position he was annually cho- sen to the year 1883, when he re- CLEMENT BATES. signed. His duties have been to ring the church bells daily, and to bury the dead. And it is said he has buried 3250 persons, equal to about one-half the present population of the town. He rang the bell four times a day, besides those for church services on the Sabbath, for funerals and for fire alarms for fifty-two years, without a failure and only two mistakes. His mental and physical faculties he retained to an unusual degree till his death, and his memory of occurrences was clear and reliable. In early life he was quite an athlete, of jovial disposition and fond of jokes, besides being a good story teller, of cheerful tempera- ment, loved and respected by all. We can almost see him, with bowed form and leaning on his cane, making his way around the town at a rapid pace.


GEN. JAMES WARREN was the son of James and Penelope ( Winslow) Warren, born in Plymouth, Mass., 1726. He descended from Richard Warren, one of the earliest settlers of

Plymouth; graduated at Harvard College in 1745, and became a merchant. In 1757 he succeeded his father as high sheriff, which office he retained till the Revolution. In 1766 he was a member of the General Court from Plymouth. He is said to have been the originator of the plan for establishing "committees of correspondence" in the various towns and cities. In 1775 he be- came a member of the Provincial Congress, and upon the death of Gen. Joseph Warren he was appointed President of that body. While the army was at Cambridge he was chosen Paymaster General. In 1776 he was appointed Major General of the Mass- achusetts Militia. In 1780 he was elected Lieutenant-Governor under Hancock, but declined to serve. He was for several years Speaker of the House of Representatives. He was ap- pointed to the office of Judge of the Supreme Court, which he declined. He served as Commissioner of the Navy Board for some time. At the close of the war he retired from public life, in order that he might enjoy the ease of domestic life, and be- came interested in agricultural pursuits. He was soon called from private life to serve in the councils of the government. For some years he resided at the Gov. Hutchinson seat at Milton, but returned to his native town, where he resided till his decease, Nov. 28, 1808. His residence was at the corner of Main and North streets, in the house now standing. He mar- ried Mercy, the daughter of Hon. James and Mary ( Allyne) Otis, of Barnstable, Mass. She was a sister of the patriot and orator. Mrs. Warren was the author of a "History of the War." She died Oct. 19, 1814, at the age of 86 years. James, son of the above, was for several years postmaster of Plymouth, and was with Paul Jones in the "Bon Homme-Richard," and lost a limb in one of the battles. He was buried in the grave with his father; and Henry was collector of the port of Plymouth, and died July 6, 1828, aged sixty-four years.

REV. DR. JAMES KENDALL was the youngest son of Major James and Elizabeth ( Mason) Kendall; born in Sterling, Mass., Nov. 3, 1769. After the usual preparation for college, he en- tered Harvard College in 1792, and graduated with high honor in 1796. On leaving college he passed two years at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., as assistant teacher, at the same time pursuing his theological studies under the direction of Rev. Dr. Tappan, then Professor of Divinity at Harvard College, and with Rev. Jonathan French. He received approbation to preach from the Andover Association in 1795. In that year he was chosen tutor of Greek in the college, and removed to Cam-

bridge, continuing his theological studies at the same time. He first preached at Plymouth as a candidate in October, 1799, and was ordained as pastor of the First Church of Plymouth Janu- ary 1, 1800, Rev. Jonathan French of Andover preaching the installation sermon. Here he continued his labors of love for thirty-eight years alone, till 1838, when Rev. George W. Briggs, a graduate of Brown University, was settled as colleague pas- tor, and remained as such till 1852, he continuing to preach in his own pulpit and others in the neighboring towns. He died March 17, 1859, in the ninetieth year of his age. His funeral sermon was preached by his former colleague, Rev. Dr. Briggs, then of Salem, Mass. Dr. Kendall married Sarah, daughter of Dea Daniel Poor, of Andover, Mass., by whom he had six children. (See No. 1828, page 240.)

JAMES THACHER, the late eminent surgeon and phy- In memory of JAMES THACHER, M.D. a surgeon in the army during the war of the Revolution, afterwards for many years a practising physician, in thecounty of Plymouth the author of several historical, and scientific works esteemed by all men, for piety, and benevolence, publicspiritand private kindness, Born February 14, 1754, Died May 26, 1844. sician of Plymouth, was the son of John and Content (Norton ) Thacher, and was born in Barn- stable, Mass., in 1754. At an early date he began to devote his attention to medicine, and studied the profession with Dr. Abner Hersey, a very cele- brated physician of Barnstable. Upon arriving at the age of 21 years Dr. Thacher was appoint- ed by the Provincial Congress a surgeon in the Revolutionary also of army, and in July, 1775, com- SUSAN THACHER for 57 years his pious and faithful wife who died May 17 1842. aged 85 years. menced the active duties inci- dent to hospital life, at Cam- bridge. He was afterwards at Albany and West Point, N. Y., and was present at the execu- tion of Benedict Arnold for treason. He was also present at the surrender of Lord Corn- wallis, Oct. 19, 1780. In 1824 he published a journal of events occurring while he was in the army. At the termination of the war he settled in Plymouth as surgeon and physician, where he enjoyed the entire confidence of his fellow-citizens, and was eminently successful in his practice. He devoted a great deal of time to antiquarian researches, and was a member of several literary societies. He was an active member of the Pilgrim

Society, of Plymouth, the American Academy of Arts and Sci- ences, the Massachusetts Medical Society, and others. He re- ceived the degree of M. D. from Harvard College in 1810. He was one of the most voluminous and elaborate writers in the medical ranks of New England. In 1828 he published two vol- umes of Medical Biography, and in 1832 a History of Ply- mouth, a highly interesting and reliable volume. A fellow- townsman, in writing of Dr. Thacher's private character, says : "As a citizen he was public spirited, a lover of order and a warm supporter of the civil and religious institutions under which he lived, and in all the relations of life he was guided by a spirit of benevolence, kindness, and disinterestedness, which gained him the attachment and regard of many friends."


Dr. Thacher married Susanna, daughter of Nathan and Sus- anna (Latham) Hayward of Bridgewater, Mass., 1785, and had six children.


WILLIAM SHAW RUSSELL was the son of James and Ex- perience (Shaw) Russell, and direct descendant of John Rus- sell of Glasgow. He was born in WILLIAMS RUSSELL Plymouth, January 11, 1792, where he spent his early days, Born Jan. 11, 1792 with the exception of a short Died Feb.22,1863! time while he resided in Bridgewater. Upon arriving to manhood he engaged in ac- tive business, and married MARY WINSLOW, 1798, daughter of Dr. Nathan and Joanna (Winslow) Hayward. In 1826 he became a resident of Boston and engaged in bus- iness with Andrew L. Russell, where he remained till 1835. Returning to his native town, he was elected to the office of Reg- ister of Deeds in 1846, which office he held till his decease.


He was a genial, affable, and patient public officer and inde- fatigable explorer among the ancient and interesting records and annals of Colonial history. He was also the author of an inval- uable compilation of the same. He was a conscientious and pains- taking student of antiquarian lore, and one of the best authori- ties in anything pertaining to the history of the Pilgrims, and was ever ready to communicate the results of his knowledge to all enquirers. He was a member of the First Church, and a

deacon for many years. In 1846 he published a volume en- titled, " Guide to Plymouth and Recollections of the Pilgrims," a work of about 400 pages, containing local history, statistical and personal reminiscences of our pilgrim ancestors and their early homes, with an appendix of hymns and poems on sub- jects pertaining to the early history of the colony.


In the publication of the "Plymouth Colony Records," by the Commonwealth some years since, Mr. Russell rendered val- uable aid in the preparation of the same, together with David Pulsifer, Esq., of Boston, to both of whom the public are in- debted for the accuracy with which the work was completed.


When William H. Bartlett visited this country in search of in- formation for his valuable work entitled " Pilgrim Fathers, or the Founders of New England," Mr. Russell furnished much of the information relating to Plymouth, Mass., and which was in his own language. Mr. Russell had a great fondness for Burial Hill, one of the prominent historical features of the town, and much frequented by vis- itors, and in 1858 caused to be prepared a complete list of in- scriptions on the stones and monuments having reference to the publication of the same, but for some reason was never printed but the careful and accurate labors of which are now included within this volume.


We cannot better conclude this notice of Mr. Russell than by inserting the following well deserved notice found in the "Old Colony Memorial" at the time of his deccase.


" By his death our town has lost one whose place as a student of our early history and a repository of knowledge of our places of local interest we know not how to fill. We shall miss his ever pleasant face, his never failing courtesy, his kindly manners, and his truly christian example. We shall miss him sadly as one to whom all questions of history or genealogy were referred, and no one ever applied to him without receiving a pleasant an- swer and a kindly interest in the object of their enquiries.


"The places that have known him will know him no more, but the memory of Mr. Russell will never be lost while ' Plymouth Rock and Burial Hill' are cherished and venerated."


On the easterly brow of Burial Hill, in a central loca- tion is a marble tablet which is represented by the accom- panying engraving.


EDWARD WINSLOW WATSON.


We cannot close these sketches without giving a notice of one well remembered by a large number of our readers. But a few moments' sail in the harbor of Plymouth, in full view from Burial Hill, is situated the well-known spot called "Clark's

Island," the place where the first Sabbath was observed by the Pilgrim fathers. Several years since, the writer had the pleasure of spending two days with ATS the owner, one of the most enjoyable occasions he ever passed ; and the following art- icle by a Boston correspond- ent of the Springfield Re- EDW Born on SON publican has so well described Clark's Island, Dec. 17, 1797, Died Aud. 8,1876. the proprietor of the soil that we take great pleasure in placing it before our readers : " If a statue were to be made of an ideal American -neither the dollar-worship- ping Yankee, nor the over- cultivated æsthetic scholar, but the plain man of the people, rejoicing in his strength and in the bound- less opportunities of his country, such as Walt Whitman would describe-the late Edward W. Watson of Clark's Is- land might have been the model. In him nature was every- thing, art and literature but accidents ; and it made little differ- ence that he had been all his days occupied with the sim- ple pursuits and the narrow vicissitudes of a sea-side farmer and countryman, living within sight of Plymouth Rock. He was at home there, but so he would have been anywhere in the world, if sea room, open air, the key of the fields and the companion- ship of his fellowmen were allowed him. He was a Homeric person without the Homeric proclivity to fight and steal; and I have seen him slay and apportion a lamb as deftly and gravely as Agamemnon or any of his confederate chieftains. It was good, also, to see him walk barefoot, like an old Greek, along the ooze and into the foam of the sea, tending his boat or bringing his freight or passengers on shore when the tide was low. Such common acts he did with an apostolic and joyous unconcern, quite ignoring the modern refinements of costume and attitude -stepping from boat to boat as his friend Thoreau says of a very different person, 'with a divine ease and sureness.' Yet no fine gentleman was less embarassed in good society than he -having been so long accustomed to the best society-that of his own family traditions, clear thoughts and generous purposes. The respect he won was like that the Highlander expressed when he said of his chief, 'Wherever the MacDonald sits is the head

of the table.' If, now-and-then, a city lady eyed him askance, and questioned in her conventional mind the apparent propriety of his coat and shoes, it was soon revealed to her that this was a gentleman of such great courtesy that he might wear what he pleased without criticism. The homeliest surroundings were idol- ized by his romantic presence, and his island became a place where life, amid many inconveniences, took on an enchanted, charming aspect, for old and young.


" There blows the clover summer-long, There figs grow ripe and full, In orchards ring the robin's song, The grapes climb up the wall; The lily springs to deck the bride, The melon creeps to see ; The slumbrous poppy nods beside The whispering poplar tree.


The gleaming water, day and night, Flashes along the shore, And out beyond the double-light Swells ocean's heavy roar. The breezy hill is white with sheep, The fields are green with corn- But never deem the enchantment, deep Was of these beauties born.


Nor yet, though more endeared than these, Was all the charm from thec, Old friend, that walked amidst thy trees As stately and as free. For thee that sweet enchantment found, Though lord of isle and stream ;


"Thee, too, did magic walls surround, Thy life a gentle dream.


"With joy, with thee, we hailed the spot Where sorrow never dwelt, Where all things ill were soon forgot, And only b.iss was felt. We heard thy wise and laughing words, Thou lord of isle and stream,


Mixt with the music of the birds, Fresh breeze and sunny beam.


Now sadly parting from the strand In thy delaying boat, We bid farewell with voice and hand To thee returning not. No more on this brief voyage bound, Thou sail'st a brighter wave Than thine, which, sighing, circles round The stillness of thy grave.


"Such a life as Edward W. Watson's, without being unfaith- ful to any duty, and with no conspicuous greatness or success, was like a long poem of fourscore stanzas-each quatrain a re- volving year, in which winter rhymed with summer and spring with autumn in a pleasing melody, now lyric, now idyllic, now pastoral, and sometimes grave and diadatic, but always with a


315

genial moral.\ Wordsworth, in his .Mathew' and in other sketches, has tried to describe such men. But they do not come to full maturity in England, I suppose, lacking the per- fect freedom and unconstraint of our American country life.


'Much doth nature's love excel To the souls that never fell, To swains that live in happiness, And do well because they please, Who walk in ways that are unfamed, And feats achieve before they're named.'


"Living thus embosomed in poetry and on the most friendly terms with nature in all her aspects, it was natural that he should write verses-but they had less merit than his most casual remark, which was sure to be worth remembering. It was true of him as of that friend of his who said-


'My life has been the poem I would have writ, But I could not both live and utter it.'


"What he wrote was sometimes printed, and if collected in a volume would pleasantly remind us of the writer, especially if along with them should be presented his handsome portrait, adorned with thick white hair. He was not so remarkable in appearance as his neighbor on the mainland, Daniel Webster, who used to come sailing down to Marshfield into the waters where Mr. Watson bore sway; but he was a more wholesome, buoyant and attractive person, and one who lived on better terms with himself; renouncing wealth and ambition, and con- tenting himself with the sovereignty of his own island and its waters, and the companionship of his friends. But better than anything that he wrote would be his daily conversation, if that could be preserved as the table-talk of more famous men have been. He talked as the birds sing and the breezes blow-with- out forethought or restraint, and with all the freshness of boy- hood, while he uttered the mellow wisdom of age. But why strive longer to describe the indescribable? for such was he.


' Thou soul of God's best earthly mould, Thou happy soul! and can it be


That these three words of glittering gold


Are all that must remain of thee?'"
