The Register of last week, contained a
notice of the death of Mr.. Henry Grow
enor, Of Ferrisburgh, and formerly of this
town, and stated that he was in the ODD
year of his age, at the time of his death,
having been born Jan. 1880. Augustus
Grovenor an elder brother of Henry was
at one time Town Clerk of Bridport. and
recorded the births of the whole family,
including Henry, IN the book kept for
that purpose in the Town Clerks Office.
And that record shows that he, Henry
was born January Is, 1882, which would
make him aged 90, or two years younger
than already stated by you
The Register also stated, that at the
age of Is years, Mr.. Grovenor moved to
this town, and assisted at The burial OF
isaiah Richardson, the first man buried
in the town of Bridport." Now it has
always been supposed that the first white
person buried in this town was Isaac
Richmond, whose grave is near the east
side of the Congregational church, and
on whose monument is inscribed
Y Isaac Richmond.
II departed this life.
I April %, 1886,
in the Odd year
of his age.
The journey of life is ended
His body lies moulderng in dust
His spirit by angels, conduc ted
To mansions Of glory we trust"
This shows that the first person buried
in Bridport, was buried nine years befor,
] Mr.. Grovcnor came into town.
