Opis: A Sermon - Staples Carlton Albert

Excerpt from A Sermon: Preached in the First Congregational Meeting-House, Lexington, Sunday Evening, April 8, 1883

In the year 1798, a boy was born in Boston whose history became identified with that of Lexington in many ways, and who proved a great benefactor to its people. He was the son of Jonathan and Polly (Harris) Cary of that town, and received the name of William Harris Cary. His father's family had removed to Boston from Charlestown where their house was destroyed in the burning of that village at the battle of Bunker Hill. Williams father used to relate that he was held up in his mothers arms to witness the awful scene from a safe retreat in Medford, whither the family had fled before the opening of that bloody drama. The father was connected with the business of making masts and spars in a ship-yard; and, at the age of fourteen, William was apprenticed to the same business. A younger brother, Isaac, was apprenticed to a commercial house in Boston engaged in the importation of horn, ivory, shells, and other articles from Africa. The usual term of apprenticeship at that day was for seven years. William served out his time, and became master of the trade of mast and spar making.
