In North Kingstown, R. I., Nov. 14, 1892, Dr. Robert Knowles Sunderland, in his seventy-eighth year.
The subject of this obituary was born in the town of Exeter, R. I., Feb. 24, 1815. In early life, he became a subject of saving grace and united with the Maple Root Six-Principle Baptist Church. For several years he was connected with the cotton mill in the village of Moscow, R.I. He then turned his attention to the study of medicine, and for ten or eleven years he was a very successful physician, and built up an extensive practice in the town of Hopkinton and vicinity. About 23 years ago he moved to North Kingstown, where the field of his usefulness was greatly enlarged, and his wonderful skill as a physician became more apparent. He was a man greatly beloved on account of his uniform Christian character and amiability of disposition. His death is a public loss, and but few men die so universally lamented. He was married three times, and leaves a wife and two daughters to lament their loss.
