REMARKS. The last named person wanted a few days of completing 100 years. There is one, PAINE WINGATE, now living, who entered on his 99th year on the 14th of February, 1837, and another, NATHANIEL PORTER, D. D., who has entered his 93rd year. Both of these reside in New Hampshire. The amount of ages of the 840 is 53,447 years, which give an average of more than 63 years to each person. The whole number of clergymen who have been graduated at Harvard College, according to the last Triennial Catalogue, is 1,374. Of these, 1,058 were not living, so that the foregoing list contains nearly four-fifths of the whole number that have died. The ages of the other fifth will probably average more than 60 years. Some of those who have died the present year are not included in the above. |
