The first, published in the Daily Standard, provides an overview of his life and beliefs, focusing on his ministry in the Unitarian church, work with the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, involvement in education administration, and his general support of the anti-slavery movement, temperance movement, and women's suffrage. Two series of resolutions follow the newspaper article, with plans for memorializing him and preparations for the funeral. The final section is an account of the funeral proceedings and eulogy addresses by various ministers, including William Lloyd Garrison, and the graveside benediction.
