10-17 Jan 1734:21 (1564)
Friday last died here in a very sudden manner, of an
apoplectick fit, the ingenious and learned Mr. Samuel
Granger, aged about 48 years: He has for about 16 years
past employed himself in instructing the children and youth
of the town and other parts in writing, arithmatick, &c.
which useful and necessary business he discharged with
uncommon diligence and fidelity, to great satisfaction and
applause, being in an extraordinary manner qualified for
such an important trust; so that his death is a public loss,
and as such, is greatly lamented by us.----He was inter'd
with abundant respect, on Tuesday last; his funeral being
attended by the principal persons of the town, about [100]
children who were under his tuition walking before the
corpse.
