Fred Collamore buried at Codman 1878.

On 17 June 1860 Frederick Collamore, age 29, born in Pembroke, a painter, married Sarah E. Savil, age 24 born in Dorchester, the daughter of Samuel and Cherry Savil. James H. Means, pastor officiated ( I am having trouble interpreting his church; it looks like " 1st G E Society", perhaps the Meetinghouse Hill church?) ( And now I see an earlier post that says Rev. J. H. Means was the successor to Rev. Codman)

Sarah Savil is the sister of Emily Savil Atwood. Emily had died along with two children in 1857 and 1858, all buried at Codman. Sarah's parents had also died in 1858 and 1859 and were buried at Codman. A younger sister, Cherry Ann Savil, was to die in 1862 while apparently unmarried at age 21 and living in the family home on Minot Street in Dorchester, and was buried at Codman.

In the 1870 Census Frederick Collamore and Sarah are living in Charlestown without any children.

On 21 October 1878 Frederick, age 48 years and one month, still working as a painter, is killed in an accident. It looks like the accident may have occurred at Columbus Avenue and Berkeley Street and he had been living in Somerville, but I'm not sure of this interpretation. He is buried at Codman as Fred Collamore in the same plot as the other Savil family members. I can not find any information about Sarah after her husband's death.
