The funeral services were held " at the Rev. Mr. Ghanning's Meeting House, on Federal Street. " l Charles Pinckney Sumner was Austin's second in the duel. He was the father of Charles Sumner, afterwards distinguished as Senator from Massachusetts. Mr.... Sumner was born in Milton in 1776, and graduated from Harvard College in 1796. A lawyer by profession, he early attached himself to the Democratic party, thus creating another bond of sympathy between himself and William Austin. In 1825 Gov. Lincoln appointed him to the position of Sheriff of the County of Suffolk, which he retained until his death in 1839.
