JOSEPH SWEETSER, son of Phillip and Sarah (Richard- son) Sweetser of Leominster, Mass., was b. in that town, Aug. 25, 1757. Of his life previous to his coming to Marl., we know but little beyond the fact that he had a wife, whose name we have not learned, by whom he had two children.

He kept a tavern for several years, and in connection with it a store, which was kept in an old building a few rods north-west of the Hunt house. But, being unfortu- nate in his business transactions, he sold his farm, tavern, and store to his brother Phillips. He d. Jan. 3, 1831.

She was educated at the academy in New Ipswich, and became the wife of Mr. Mann at the age of twenty-seven. We quote the following from the " Congregational Quarterly " of April, 1873 : "She performed the duties of a pastor's wife during the twenty-eight years of her husband's pastorate in that place with great fidelity; and her memory as well as that of her husband, whom she survived thirteen years, is cherished among that people with great love and respect. She was gifted with superior intellectual ability,

He resided in Marl., Mass., after his marriage, until June, 1776, when he came to this town, and located on the farm since owned by his grandson, John T. Wis- wall, where Osgood R.
