At his residence in Hopkinton, R. I., January 19th, Mr. Christopher Brown, in the 88th year of his age. He was a man of great moral worth, and took an active part with his patriotic countrymen in achieving our national independence. Embracing the Bible Sabbath in 1806, he became a member of the 1st Seventh Day Baptist Church in Hopkinton, where he continued an exemplary member till he departed this life in the full enjoyment of that religion of which he had been an ornament through his long life.
