(10)  Captain John Sabiston (1800's) - Died near Charleston, SC and was 
brought home by his crew. People gathered by the wharf at the foot of 
Turner Street as his body was taken off his ship. They followed as it 
was taken on a bier through the dark streets of town to the graveyard 
and lowered into the readied grave by torch light. Because embalming 
was unknown in Beaufort until the 20th century, it was necessary to 
perform burials quickly.
