I feel the cause has been just, and I have tried to know and do my duty. He told the surgeon his wishes concerning the settlement of his affairs, and seemed calm and free from pain. On Monday morning, July 6th, at about eight o'clock, he died very peacefully. His body was brought home and was buried July 13th at New Bedford. Rev. William J. Potter conducted the funeral services, and Lieutenant-Colonel H. S. Russell, Captain J. I. Grafton, Captain J. L. Bullard, and Ogden Codman acted as pall-bearers.

He was also the lineal descendant of Governor Bradford, the first Plymouth governor. He was fitted for Harvard College at the private school of Mr. Thomas G.
