He d. Feb. 22, 1805, and was buried on what was once his farm, now owned by Webster Maxim. In 1907 a granite stone furnished by the U. S.

A feature of the occasion was an orig- inal hymn written and sung by his great-grand-daughters, Mary and Martha Maxim of Cambridge, Mass. His widow remarried and survived him some 36 years. The children of this Revolu- tionary soldier are not recorded on Buckfield records. His son, John Thayer, had the homestead.
