The minister was Nathaniel Porter, and it was transcribed for the State of NH by J.A. Fuller, Clerk, on Oct. 20, 1906. I then saw the gravestone of Daniel Clement's "consort", Abigail Clement, next to Daniel's in the Fryeburg Cem.,behind the Library on June 28, 1998. Abrigail ("Nabby") Pillsbury had person sources.1

Birth
- Rev Samuel Souther was born on 26 February 1819.
REV. Samuel Souther of Fryeburg (1819-1864). He fell in the battle of the Wilderness on May 6, 1864.
He enlisted as a 1st Sergeant in Company B, Massachusetts 57th Infantry Regiment on 04 Jan 1864.
From the "History of Worcester in the War of the Rebellion." by A. P. Marvin, 1870, p. 505.
Rev. Samuel Souther was born in Fryeburg, Maine. He was a graduate of Dartmouth College in the class of 1842, and was educated for the Christian ministry at Bangor Theological Seminary.
After spending some years as the minister of the Congregational Church in Belfast, Maine and subsequently as agent of the American Sunday School Union, he, in 1857, came to the city of Worcester, where he was made city missionary and also chaplain at the jail and at the asylum for the insane.
Under his ministry the Industrial school connected with the Mission Chapel, was organized in 1857.
In the years 1863 and 1864, he was a representative of this city in the General Court.
While still in the discharge of his legislative duties, an urgent call came for more men, and hardly waiting for the session to close, he enlisted as a private in the Fifty-seventh.
The brief tarry in camp at home, the sudden summons to the front, the swift march, the instant battle, and the fearful slaughter of the regiment, are all matters of history.
The body of Mr. Souther was never found.
Mr. Souther was a man of energy, and did with his might whatever his hand found to do.
He was very useful in his various ministries, but the pressure on his spirit caused by the rebellion, was so strong that he felt constrained to leave all, and take his place in the ranks.
It was a resolution full of self sacrifice.
He disappeared in the Wilderness-battle, May 6, 1864.
In July 1874 his name was included on the Soldiers' Monument in Worcester, MA, as a member of the 57th Masssachusetts Volunteer Infantry.

"DR. SOUTHER DIES FROM PNEUMONIA: One of Worcester's Prominent Physicians Expires After Short Illness, Aged 71.
Dr. William Towle Souther aged 71 years, 11 months and 14 days, a prominent physician and surgeon in Worcester for years died at 7 a.m. today in his home, 22 Auburn Street. Death was due to pneumonia. He had been confined to his bed since Saturday.
He was born in Belfast, ME, March 7, 1850, the son of Reverend Samuel T. Souther and Mary Francis Towle.

Dr. Souther was particularly interested in educational matters. He was a Republican and was elected as a member of the school committee, ward 1, in 1884. He served faithfully for years on the school committee, being the chairman of the committee at the dedication of the English high school building which is known as the Classical High.
Dr. Souther retired from active practice about 15 years ago. He was a great reader, being a devotee of Scott and Dickens and was also fond of music, having been connected with the Worcester Festival chorus for many years.
