Rev. Isaac Braman obituary:
Georgetown, Mass., Dec. 26, ae. 88. He was son of Sylvanus and Experience (Blanchard) Braman, and was born in Norton, Mass., July 5, 1770. He graduated at Harvard College, with high honors, in 1794, and for several years has been the only survivor of his class. After leaving college, he studied for the ministry with Rev. Jason Haven, of Dedham (H.U. 1754), and Rev. Pitt Clark, of Norton (H.U. 1790). He was ordained, June 7, 1797, pastor of the second parish in Rowley, then called New Rowley, and since incorporated into a town by the name of Georgetown. He was successor of Rev. James Chandler, (H.U. 1728), who died April 19, 1789, at the age of 83 years, and in the 58th year of his ministry. The parish was destitute of a settled minister nine years; and Mr. B. was the last of 64 candidates who preached there on probation. He continued pastor of this society until his death – a period of more than 61 years – discharging the duties of his profession with great fidelity, and to the entire acceptance of his people, until within a few years, when, on account of the infirmities of old age, he was obliged to relinquish his arduous duties, and the Rev. Charles Beecher was ordained as colleague pastor with him. Mr. Braman was a man of great originality of mind, and his sermons evince deep thought and profound reflection. He was famous for his keen wit, and was a prominent figure in Sawney Bigelow’s celebrated classology. He married, Aug., 1797, Hannah Palmer, youngest daughter of Rev. Joseph Palmer, of Norton (H.U. 1747), born June 12, 1773. They had five children, viz. – 1. Harriet, born July 17, 1798, married Rev. John Boardman (D.C. 1817), minister in Douglas, Mass.; 2. Milton Palmer, born Aug. 6, 1799, (H.U. 1819), now minister of the First Church in Danvers, Mass.; 3. James Chandler, born Sept. 29, 1801, died at sea (on his passage from Calcutta for Salem, 75 days out), Dec. 5, 1820; 4. Adeline, born July 10, 1805, died Sept. 10, 1830; 5. Isaac Gordon, born March 12, 1813, is a physician in Brighton, Mass. Mr. B’s wife died Aug. 14, 1835, ae. 62; and he married for his second wife, in 1837, Sarah Balch, daughter of John Balch, Esq., of Newburyport. She survives him.
