Excerpt from Life of the Rev. Joseph Grafton: Late Pastor of the First Baptist Church, Newton, Ms. With an Appendix, Embracing Historical, Statistical, and Ecclesiastical Information Pertaining to the Town of Newton

Own. Most of his parishioners had known and revered him from their childhood. And though some of his sallies of wit and pleasantry may not strike us favorably, they must have appeared differently to those who viewed them from another position, and who saw them relieved by a Spirit of habitual devotion. The casual peculiari ties which gave a charm to his character, and which add a zest to the contemplation of it, are not of such a nature as to detract from the reverence with which he is°and ought to be regarded. The seal is on his virtues.
