Notes for Rev. Oliver PEABODY
• Graduated from Havard College in 1721.
• Inscription on his monument (in Latin) “Here are deposited the remains of the Reverend Oliver Peabody, a man venerable for the faculities of his mind and for all needful learning. He delighted much in the theological investigations. He discharged the pastoral office with great renown for thirty years; ministering to the people of Natick, especally to the aborigines, in the cause of sacred learning. He was a model in social life. In benevolence and universal hospitality he was preeminent. In the firm expectation of a future retribution, he was called from his ministry on the 2nd February, A.D., 1752, aged 54 years.”
