PERIOD X .- 1805 .- 1833
1833.]
Christ. Samuel Hale was graduated at Harvard College in the class of 1740. After serving as a Major in the Louisburg expedition, he engaged as the Principal of the Latin Grammar School in Portsmouth, and labored in that useful vocation almost forty years, with distinguished ability, zeal, and effect. In his school, at that day famed throughout the land, instruc- tion was given to some thousands of pupils, and many young men were qualified for important stations. Major Hale, than whom few men have done more to form the minds of youth, lived to a great age, and died in 1807, leaving a character respectable for piety and usefulness. The Hon. Nicholas Gilman of Exeter, a brother of Gov. Gilman, and one of the Senators of this State in Congress, died at Philadelphia in 1814. Exeter lost another of its eminent citizens the next year, by the death of Doctor Samuel Tenney, who was highly respectable for his medical and scientific attainments, and was for some years a Representative in Congress. In the course of the same year died the Hon. Simeon Olcott of Charlestown, who had been Chief Justice of the State, and one of its Sena- tors in the National Legislature ; and two years afterwards, Benjamin West of the same town, a Lawyer of extensive practice and high distinction. The Rev. Dr. Morrison, a native of Scotland, emigrated to America in early life ; and after acquiring a classical and Theological education, became the Pastor of the Presbyterian Church iu Londonderry. His amiable manners, ready talents, and pastoral diligence, gave him an extensive and merited influence, which he retained till his death, in 1818. Early in 1820 died the Rev. Dr. Payson of Rindge, well known as an exemplary and excellent minister of the gospel, and as the eminent Father of a still more emi- nent son, the late Rev. Edward Payson of Portland. The same year closed the comparatively short life of the Rev. Francis Brown, who was called from his ministry in North-Yarmouth, Maine, to the Presidency of Dartmouth College, and conducted its concerns with great wisdom and prudence during the diffi- cult period of its contest with the Legislature. Calmness, decision, and piety strongly marked his character. Doctor Ammi Ruhamah Cutter was a physician of Portsmouth, in high esteem and extensive practice for a period of more than sixty years. Though he was in habits of intimacy with the the royal officers before the revolution, and had been offered the appointment of Counsellor, yet his views of duty led him to oppose the acts of the British Ministry. He took charge of the medical department of the Northern army, and was after- wards a member of the Convention which formed the Con-

stitution of the State. The confidence reposed in him by the community was great. "Dr. Cutter was a christian ; the last act of his life was a prayer uttered the moment previous to his dissolution," which occurred in the year last named. Hon. Thomas W. Thompson of Concord, a man of talent and worth, died in 1821, having been Speaker of the House of Represen- tatives of this State, and a Senator in Congress. Some time before his death, his health being impaired, he was passing over Lake Champlain in a steam boat, which took fire in the night and was consumed ; he with others narrowly escaped in an open boat, in an inclement season; and the terrors and exposures of that night were thought to have hastened his exit. Gen. Michael M'Clary, whose death took place in 1824, was of Epsom. For a long time he was a Representative or Senator in the Legislature and afterwards Marshal of the District of New-Hampshire, and Adjutant General for the State. Often was he solicited to give his consent to be put in nomination as a candidate for Governor; but he always de- clined. Probably no man in the State possessed a more extensive personal influence, and it was said of him that "al- though he was the associate of the first in society, no honest poor man was too mean to be by him considered as an equal." Ezekiel Webster was a brother of the distinguished Daniel Webster, and an eminent lawyer of Boscawen. As described by an eye witness, the circumstances of his death, which oc- curred in 1829, were deeply affecting : "He began an argument before the Court of Common Pleas in Concord. I sat directly before him. His voice was clear, full, strong. His plea con- nected, convincing, powerful. His health apparently good, and his whole appearance that of a man in the possession and exercise of the noblest powers. He had spoken about twenty minutes-when he fell backwards and expired, without a struggle or groan. The impression of this instant death was awful. Every face was pale ;- every heart trembled ! The immortal spirit was gone-and the realities of the invisible world seemed in full prospect."
