Rev. Joseph Sawyer was settled as the third minister on
Wednesday, Oct. 30, 1822, having preached throughout the summer.
Mr. Sawyer was born in Wendell in 1792, Graduated at Williams
in 1813, studied theology at Andover, completing the course there in 1819.
He died in Leverett after only preaching 6 more weeks. His death was
supposed to be occasioned by an injury which he received when a boy. The
following account of the accidents was published in the Greenfield Gazette of
Sept. 12, 1803:
"Joseph, son of Mr. Joseph Sawyer of Wendell, aged eleven
years, was hooked by a heifer on the 8th inst., in such a manner that his
bowels gushed out, which he carried in his hands forty rods and fell down.
His mother met him in this situation; his father and others soon came and
carried him to the house; the physician was called and he appears to be in a
hopeful way of recovery."
At the time of his death a relative of Mr. Sawyer adds the
following explanation: "His intestines were washed and replaced by the
physician and the would sewed up on the outside; but the stitches did not go
deep enough to take the inner membrane, consequently when the wound healed
outwardly the intestines also adhered to and healed to the body inwardly.
This frequently produced a stoppage and he ever afterwards suffered intensely
very frequently and always, from the period of said event, was very careful
of his diet. The aforesaid accident was undoubtedly the cause of his death."
The following notice of Mr. Sawyers' death was published in the
Greenfield Gazette for Dec. 1822: "Died in Leverett, Mass. on the 14th
inst., Rev. Joseph Sawyer, A.M., Pastor of the Congregational Church and
Society in that town, aged 30. Heaving united a people whose divisions for
several years had almost deprived them of religious privileges, he was
ordained on the 30th of October and after the short service of six weeks, was
called to received his reward. A sermon was preached at his funeral by the
Rev. Dr. Moore, President of Amherst College."
