He was a man of unusual intelligence, spending much of his time in reading during the latter portion of his life, which closed. sadly to his numerous family, April 16, 1873, ae. 61-5. It is doubtful if any man in the State, of his walk in life, was better posted in mutters of history or polities. He was a deep thinker; a ready, forcible writer ; and although his modest and retiring disposi- tion prevented frequent etforts in that direction, some of his published articles attracted the attention and commendation of the best politi- cians in the State. He was regarded one of the foremost citizens of Bethlehem, winning a host of friends, who showed their high estima- tion of his character by their large concourse at his funeral, notwith- standing the almost impassable condition of the roads, at which an able discourse was preached by Rev. G. L. Demnorest, of Manchester. Children :
