The Late Elnathan Judson
A Tribute to the Life of a Son of a Pioneer Baptist Foreign Missionary
Elnathan Judson was born in Maubmain, Burmah, July 15, 1838.
His parents were Rev. Adoniram Judson, D. D., and Mrs. Sarah Boardman Judson.
He was brought to this country in 1845 by his father, his mother dying on the passage to the island of St. Helena.
He lived six years with Dr. Calvin Newton in Worcester; fitted for college at Pierce Academy, Middleboro;
was graduated from Brown University in 1859;
and from Union Theological Seminary, New York city, in 1862.
July 4, 1860, he received a sunstroke while rowing in a regatta in Providence, laying the foundation for subsequent poor health.
After painful struggles and vicissitues, he was placed in the Maclean hospital for the insane in Somerville, Jan. 24, 1864.... Feb. 28, he was removed to his sister's home in Worcester, and passed to spirit life, Feb. 8, 1897.
After thirty-two years in insane hospitals, he had nearly one year of home life, cared for and comforted by his devoted sister.
He became perfectly sane, and was conscious to the very last...
Many surviving friends ... will rejoice to know that his sufferings are ended.
The deserted house of clay was incinerated at Forest hills, and his freed spirit has entered the home of the soul....
He was cremated.
