Memorial Service to Honor Chow “Manderien”
3:00 pm at Central Burying Ground at the Boston Common
The record of the death of Chow in 1798 is the first known documentation of a Chinese person in the United States.
His remains, just steps from Boston’s Chinatown, are also the first known of a Chinese national in this country.
Chow came to American in the early days of the old China trade. Chow’s headstone reads:
“Here lies interred the body of Chow Manderien, a native of China, aged 19 years, whose death was occasioned on the 11th of Sept 1798 by a fall from the masthead of the ship Mike of Boston. This stone erected to his memory by his affectionate master John Boit Jr.”
