Plain burial-place: Here lies ye body of Samuel Caswel, M.D., who died Aug. ye 13th, 1755. Aetatis Suae, 35.
In Seventeen Hundred and Fifty Five
Relentless Death Did us Deprive
of a very useful life
To Neighbor, Friend, to Child and Wife,
He safely Did administer,
as a Physician.
Consulting more his patients' health,
Than all Extorted gain.
We that do love his memory
Would like him live, y't when we died
We may enjoy felicity.
- ↑ Samuel Caswell is #45 in "Thomas Caswell of Taunton and His Descendants" by George Freeman Sanborn Jr, published in Mayflower Descendant. He is shown as the only child of Samuel Caswell and Judith Pratt, born in Norton circa 1720 on p. 39:9. Though the article is promised to be continued after covering individual #36 on page 40:152, an editorial on p. 41:112d (1991) says Mr. Sanborn became editor of The New Hampshire Genealogical Record and hasn't been able to, but hopes to, finish the series. It appears no more installments were published.
