When Walter Aimwell was about six years of age, his father, a man of kind / disposition and religious principle, was removed by death. Soon after / their bereavement, the family left Charlestown, and took up their abode / in Salem. Here Walter, who was the third of four sons, remained until he / was nearly thirteen years of age.
Even at this early age, his character began to give some intimations of / what it afterwards became. In after-years, he speaks of the gratification / he felt in attending church even on week-days, and recalls, apparently / with pleasure and gratitude, the names of his Sabbath-school teachers.
