+

+ PRINTED BY JOHN WILSON & SON,

+ 1853.
+
+
+
+
+REMARKS.
+
+
+Samuel Appleton was born at New Ipswich, N.H., June 22, 1766, and
+died, without issue, at his residence in Boston, on Tuesday, July 12,
+1853; having just entered on the eighty-eighth year of his age.
+
+In November, 1819, he married Mrs. Mary Gore, who was much younger
+than himself. This union has been marked, on his side, by the most
+unvarying confidence and sincere affection. He has ever found his own
+delight in gratifying each wish of his wife with an almost boundless
+indulgence. And she--the brilliant and happy mistress of his
+hospitable mansion--has been alike admirable, when presiding over its
+social circle, or its more public gayeties; and when, in its private
+recesses, she has devoted herself to what she has ever felt to be her
+highest duty and her chief privilege,--that of guarding the declining
+years of her husband with the most kind and thoughtful care; cheering
+his pathway to the tomb by those considerate attentions, which, both
+in life and in death, he so gratefully appreciated and acknowledged.
+
+On the last morning of his life, he enjoyed his usual health. During
+the day, however, he suffered pain and uneasiness, apparently the
+result of indigestion. Mrs. Appleton, therefore, remained constantly
+with him, but without feeling any serious apprehensions. He at length
+seemed to be entirely relieved by the means used, and said, "I will
+now try to go to sleep." In a few moments, Mrs. Appleton was alarmed
+by hearing him breathe once or twice much more loudly than usual. She
+ran to his bedside, and his favorite female attendant was immediately
+summoned. He was still lying in the same attitude of repose. The sleep
+that had fallen upon him so gently was the sleep of death!
+
+This event at once called forth a universal and spontaneous expression
+of regard for the deceased from the community in which he had so long
+lived. It was unrestrained by any differences of political opinion or
+of religious sentiment. Thus, in the "Boston Post," the organ of the
+Democratic party of Boston, there appeared the following
+communication:--
+
+ "SAMUEL APPLETON is dead! Never has there been summoned from
+ among us a purer man or a more public-spirited citizen.
+ Possessing strong natural sense and the most plain and
+ unaffected manners, he was truly simple-hearted and
+ noble-minded. There was nothing about him of ostentation or
+ pretence. All his _acts_, during a long life, praise him.
+ Beginning with humble prospects, by industry and intelligence
+ he became one of our wealthiest merchants. As a country
+ schoolmaster, during the winter months, he was once, when a
+ young man, '_put up at auction_, to be boarded out in the
+ family that would consent to take him at the lowest rate.'[1]
+ Latterly, for many years, probably not a day has passed without
+ the performance of some deed of kindness great or small,--some
+ act of public or private munificence; and each evening saw him
+ sink to rest, happy in the consciousness that he had made
+ others happy. In a notice of him, as a benefactor of one of our
+ chief charitable institutions, published not long since, it is
+ said: 'In advanced age, and unable to walk from his house, he
+ continues in the highest and best sense to enjoy life. He has,
+ indeed, no children; but a numerous band of nephews and nieces
+ look up to him with truly filial regard. Indeed, the community
+ itself ventures to apply to him _their_ familiar and
+ affectionate appellation of "Uncle Sam." This name, in the
+ abstract so dear to every patriot, could not be more worthily
+ bestowed.'[2] That life, so honorable and so useful, rendered
+ sweet by the daily blessings of those whose necessities or
+ sufferings have been relieved by his bounty, has been fitly
+ closed by a calm and peaceful death."
+
+Obituary notices of a like favorable character, and characteristic
+anecdotes, &c., were inserted in the "Daily Evening Transcript," the
+"Boston Courier," and the "Christian Register," and also in various
+other journals.
+
+Public funeral services were held at the Stone Chapel, on Friday
+afternoon, at four o'clock. The Hon. Thomas H. Perkins, and a few
+other surviving contemporaries of the deceased, were present among the
+assemblage of relatives and friends by which the church was filled.
+
+He was buried at Mount Auburn, in a lot which he had purchased many
+years ago, and on which he had erected a costly monument. Designing to
+embellish that field of the dead, he had authorized an artist in a
+foreign country to execute this work without regard to expense. When
+completed, it was not in accordance with the simple tastes of Mr.
+Appleton. He even desired that he might be buried in his tomb, under a
+church in Boston, rather than in the beautiful spot which he had thus
+selected and adorned. The existing ordinance of the city rendered it
+impossible to comply with this suggestion; and indeed it seemed to be,
+on other grounds, inexpedient.
+
+At a stated quarterly meeting of the Trustees of the Massachusetts
+General Hospital, held on the same day, the following preamble and
+votes, as proposed by the Chairman, were unanimously adopted, viz.:--
+
+ "The funeral of the late Hon. Samuel Appleton takes place this
+ afternoon; and the bells of the city are now tolling as a
+ public expression of respect for one of its worthiest sons and
+ its noblest benefactors, who, at the advanced age of
+ eighty-seven years, has died universally beloved and regretted.
+
+ "Formerly a Trustee of this Institution, and ever cherishing a
+ lively interest in its welfare, we are happy to acknowledge our
+ indebtedness to him, alike for his valuable personal services,
+ and for a large share of that bounty which he has always so
+ wisely and so liberally bestowed.
+
+ "This Board would present to the widow of the deceased, by whose
+ affectionate attentions and devoted care his life has been for
+ so many years prolonged and rendered happy, the assurances of
+ their profound sympathy, now that she has lost a companion and
+ friend by whom she was most tenderly beloved.
+
+ "_Voted_, That this Board do now adjourn to attend the funeral
+ of the deceased."
+
+Mr. Appleton left a Will and Codicil, of which a few copies are
+printed for the use of his executors and legatees.
+
+These documents were opened and read in the presence of the widow and
+some of the relatives, on Saturday, July 16; and the following
+anecdote was then related by one of the Executors:--
+
+The late Isaac Appleton Jewett was a favorite nephew of the deceased,
+and, as such, had a bequest of $30,000, and was eventually to receive
+besides one-tenth part of the residuary property. He died in January
+last, leaving as his heir-at-law a half-sister, who, by the terms of
+the will, became entitled to these bequests. There was no
+blood-relationship between her and the Testator. _A comparative
+stranger would thus be a larger legatee than any one of his own
+kindred._ The Executor called Mr. Appleton's attention to this fact.
+His reply was: "I am much obliged for the suggestion: it was a proper
+one for you to make. I will consider, and let you know my decision
+to-morrow." The next day he said: "I have been thinking of what you
+mentioned to me; and if, in the other world, there is any knowledge of
+what is done in this, I should not like to have my nephew, whom I so
+loved and trusted, find that my first act, on learning his death, is
+the revocation or curtailment of a bequest made in his favor, and
+which, if he had survived me, would have eventually benefited her who
+was nearest and dearest to him. _The will must stand as it is._" This
+confirmation of a private bequest is no less honorable to the memory
+of Mr. Appleton, than are those other two provisions of his will by
+which he so bountifully remembers the servants of his household, and
+appropriates to public uses so large a part of his princely fortune.
+

+LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

+SAMUEL APPLETON.
+
+
+Be it remembered, That I, SAMUEL APPLETON, of Boston, in the County of
+Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, merchant, being of sound disposing
+mind and memory, and in good health, but aware of the uncertainty of
+life, and desirous of making a disposition of such property as I may
+leave at the time of my decease, do make, publish, and declare this my
+last Will and Testament, in manner and form following, to wit:--

+day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
+fifty-two.

+collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project

+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with

+or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
