Boston. . . Last Thursday, agreeable to a general request of
the inhabitants, and by the consent of parents and friends,
were carried to their grave in succession, the bodies of
Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, and Crispus
Attucks, the unhappy victims who fell in the bloody massacre
of the Monday evening preceding.
On this occasion most of the shops in town were shut, all
the bells were ordered to toll a solemn peal, as were also
those in the neighbouring towns of Charlestown, Roxbury, &c.
The procession began to move between the hours of four and
five in the afternoon . . .
