1 I have a letter from Rev. T. T. Stone, D.D., Bolton, Mass., giving some recollections of Deacons Nourse and Chamberlain, of so much interest, that I will make extracts from it.
"Can you remember Deacons Nourse and Chamberlain as I do, sit- ting in the deacons' seat, under the pulpit of the old meeting-house ? Deacon Nourse (the name used to be Nurse, no o in it,) was, I think, a native of Bolton, Mass. A nephew of his was for some time, in the same official relation to this (Bolton) church, as he was to that of Wa- terford. . .. I have a very distinct remembrance of the Waterford deacon, and of his family, neighbors of my father. Of the more impor- tant qualities of deacon Nourse, I was too young when he died, to know much. But of some more superficial traits, I retain a clear rec- ollection. He was social in his habits, and loved to call on his neigh- bors, seeming to take great pleasure in telling stories. . . His stories were rather of the humorous kind . . than of the grave and serious order. So, indeed, his general cast was rather playful, than somber, though there was no doubt (that I am aware), of his essential earnest- ness. . . He died in the spring of 1819, of measles.
Deacon Chamberlain was a nearer neighbor, and of quite different manners. His calls were seldom. He was not given to story-telling. He was comparatively reserved in conversation; was grave, not hu- morous, though without the slightest touch of severity, or of affected solemnity. A man of real worth, without pretense, whose religion penetrated his character, but never displayed itself from his tongue. He seemed to my mind as one of those men whom we almost instinc- tively feel ourselves inclined to pronounce faultless. Deacon C. was uncle to Daniel Webster's first wife, Grace Fletcher. He once told me that this niece of his used to say she would never marry a man who did not know more than she did. Probably the world would say she kept her resolution.
