We will relate only one of the many stories told of him. Once laboring for a man whose love of gain re- quired his hands to be up, eat breakfast, and be miles away in the woods with an ox-team before light, he wished to give him a gentle reminder that he was asking too much, which was done in this wise : When asked to pray, one morning, he com- menced thus : " We thank thee, O Lord, that thou hast brought us in safety thus far through the night, and if, in thy provi- dence, we are permitted to see the light of another day, may we go forth to its duties with a cheerful heart and in thy fear," &c. The next morning he was permitted to eat his breakfast by daylight. He was a public-spirited citizen. He was a se- lectman some six years, and was an active deacon in the Bap- tist church, laboring much to promote its interests. He m. Mary Chapman, b. Apr. 6, 1803, d. June 1, 1849.
