-----------------------
[NEGHR:1879:33:380]: "Deaths"
Hastings, Mr. Oliver, of Cambridge, died Feb. 18, 1879, in the 88th year of his age. He was a son of Maj. Samuel and Lydia (Nelson) Hastings, of Lincoln, where he was born May 16, 1791. Maj. Hastings was among the patriots on Lexington Common, April 19, 1775, and his lineage is traced to Thomas Hastings, of Watertown, the first settler in N. England of that name.

Oliver was educated at the public schools, and learning the trade of carpenter, established himself in Cambridge, where he soon became a contractor and master builder. Besides many other structures, he built the present Unitarian Church in (Old) Cambridge, and most of the best houses occupied by the college professors forty years ago. He afterwards became and extensive lumber dealer.

He was retiring in manners, a true and consistent christian, eminently genial and social, with large liberality. He was an admirer of art, and to some extent both a patron of art and education.

Mr. Hastings was a pensioner for service in the war of 1812. He was a follower and admirer of Webster and Sumner. For nearly forty years he was the nearest neighbor to Professor Longfellow, whose friendship and writings he deeply appreciated.

He was twice married: first, Sept. 10, 1824, to Eliza, daughter of Amos and Susan (Fiske) Bemis, of Lincoln; second, Sept. 28, 1843, to Mrs. Huldah (Holmes) Tribon, daughter of Howland and Huldah (Copeland) Holmes, of Bridgewater, Mass., who survives him.
