He was a farmer, of superior intelligence and refinement, and lived at Doremustown, in the building formerly occupied as the parsonage of the Montville Reformed church, and was an elder in that church for many years. Being ten years old at the beginning of the Revolution, and having a retentive memory, he pre- served a vivid recollection of many an incident of those trying days. While Washington was quartered at his fa.her's house he sometimes went out hunting, and Corne- lius went with him, to carry his game-bag. He said it was the General's custom at nine o'clock in the evening to place his Bible upon a stand, read a chapter, and offer prayer. This stand is now in the possession of the descendants of his brother Francis. He was wont to relate, moreover, that when Washington was leaving his father's house, he took his hand to bid him good-bye, and said: "Cornelius, you are a good boy. Always mind your father, and speak "the truth." He also recollected the enthusiasm evoked

THE DOREMUS FAMILY.

among the American soldiers by the arrival of casks of gold sent us from France. Even in his later years he could sing French songs, and repeat sentences in that tongue, which he had learned from the French soldiers encamped ou his father's farm. It is said of him that he had "a lovely dis- position, was a kind neighbor, religious and patriotic, the · possessor of a fine tenor voice, and no social gathering in his neighborhood was considered complete without him." One day, when past threescore and ten, he drove from Do- remustown to Slooterdam, to talk with his cousin Peter about "old times." What a charming picture of his old age is given by one of his granddaughters, in a letter to the writer: "I am the youngest of my parents' nine children, and the one whom dear grandpa used to call his 'little agent,' as it was my privilege to lead him to family prayers, point out the verses he would read in turn; to sit next him at table, and ask him his preference; to lead him to church, carrying his ear-trumpet; to brush his beautiful silver hair, and to minister to him in various ways. I was devotedly attached to him; he had the loveliest disposition. When I was a very little girl, grandfather bought que a rocking-chair, and I would sit near him by his wood fire, while he taught me Dutch songs." Few persons living to be more than ninety years of age have left behind them such pleasant memories to those who knew them. After the death of his wife he made his home with his son Thomas, in New York, and died in that city. He and his wife are buried at Pomp- Lon Plains.
