The LAST SURVIVOR OF BUNK r. HILL
The Statement has frequently been lnsie by the
newspapers and endorsed by Mr.. Everett in his late
Fourth of July oration that there one left of
that band of heroes who first withsto,i the shock
of British arms in the open field. Eighty FIVE
years having elapsed since that wOrl-reno wned
struggle the burden of probabilities would favor
such conclusion yet the statement is not correct
There is who took part In that memorable battle
and in subsequent events of the revolution ye;
living full of years" and venerated for his moral
worth as we'll as for his age and public services.
In the town If Acton, Me-, on beautiful rilge
of land situated about IA mile from Milton Mills
n H., =tsnis outage farm house, unpre. ending
in it's appearance and bearing evidence of very
respectable antiquity. The passer-by will often
notice gray haired man, reading attentively by
the window or walking about with single cane
perchance engaged in the ordinary labors OF the
bus,anslman. The stranger will perceive nothing
retn,rkae il, the thick SET slightly bent figure AMI
welf-preserved swarthy features of this old of
apparently eithty years; but the resi- lents of the
adjacent country nvoluntarily bend with reverence
as they pass him. And we'll they maybe is the
last of the Bunker Hill patriots.
David kinnson; who long survived his confcler-
atcs of the faWqus Boston Tea Party, living in
hundred. anil ffteea years He has since passed
away Ralph F,.rn,rn, the LAST Of the Bunker IIl
heroes still lives, aitaon: =: ire has; s,early attained
span and half of the space allotted t. nan, His
hundred and fourth birthday celebrated ;st
Milton on the 9TH. We have already given, from
the pen of a correspondent, some notice of this in
terestag aff:tir. Although no pains were taken to
extend notice of the event beyond the immediate
vicini Of the veterans residence very large
course OF people were in attendance The features
of the occasion an address, and one hundred
and four greetings from tweve-pounder, and a
dinner enlivened with toasts and speeches.
Mr. f rnum, learn, not in the midst of the
battle. Having been enrolled only the day prev
o,,s it his lot to be detailed among guard to
take charge Of the artiliery0 0nd baggage, at some
distance from the redouht. In so close proximi-
y to the principal of strife the observations
which he made and distinctly recollects to this day
high yinteresting and trust they wil'be given
to the public by some competent pen. When we
reflect how many persons living even remember
the itself-as a child of twelve at that time
would now be ninety-five years "d--a living actor
in that bloody drama becomes at once an object of
interest, respect and veneration.
