was struck down by a disease of the heart and expired in a short time after the attack. The unhappy event was totally unlooked for. Since the ex-governor retired from the cabinet he had enjoyed a return of health that made his friends hope that he would be spared to the world for many years yet. Providence had ruled other- wise, and taken from our midst one of the great minds of the age. Ex-gov. Marcy had been a prominent citizen for nearly 40 years, and has ever played a manly, straightforward part in the political history of this state. As a writer Mr. Marcy was at once vigorous and good natured. He never attacked a person without cause. He always fought on the defensive, not because he lacked courage and firmness, but because he preferred the ame- nities of life to its thorns and satire. In his correspond- ence with Austria and Great Britain, Mr. Marcy exhibited a power which marked him as one of the most skillful diplomatists that the world has ever seen. It is to these papers that his friends will ever point as the true monu- ments of his greatness.


He was born in Worcester county, Mass., December 12, 1786 ; at the time of his death therefore, he was in the 71st year of his age. He graduated at Brown uni- versity in 1808. He studied law in Troy, and served with distinguished ability in the war of 1812. In 1816 he was appointed recorder of Troy. He held that office two years and was then removed by the Clintonians. In 1821 the Democrats honored him by making him comp- troller. During the year 1821 he removed from Troy to Albany. In 1829 he was made judge of the supreme court. He was elected to the United States senate in 1831. In 1832 he was elected governor, and retired from the senate. He held the office of governor six years. In 1845 President Polk honored him by making him secretary of war. He filled this office during the whole Mexican war, and with an ability that commanded the admiration even of his enemies. In 1848 Zachary Taylor was elected president. Mr. Marcy retired from the war office in 1849. President Pierce made Mr. Marcy [Annals, ix.] 30

secretary of state. It is doubtful whether the laborious duties of this office were ever discharged with more honor to the republic.

26. Mrs. Catharine Cochran, died at Oswego, aged 76.

She was born at Albany on the 20th February, 1781, the daughter of Major-General Schuy- ler, the great revolutionary patriot, whose name is so illustrious in our revolutionary annals, and for one-half of the last century, in all the great events which have left their records in the history of New York. The infant years of Mrs. Cochran's life were passed in Albany, and in the period of the revolution she was exposed to the thrilling incidents of the Mohawk frontier. In 1794-we believe at the instance of President Washington-Gen. Schuyler passed through the Oneida wilderness to Oswego, then still in occupation of a British garrison. His daugh- ter accompanied him and shared in the adventures of what was then a difficult and romantic expedition.


Her first husband was Samuel Malcolm, Esq., son of Gen. Malcolm, an eminent citizen of New York, and a distinguished soldier of the revolution. He died in early

life some forty years since, at Utica, where he with his family then resided. Several years subsequently, she married our late venerable townsman, Major James Cochran, son of Dr. Cochran, the surgeon general of the revolutionary army, and with him and her family settled in this place in the year 1825. They cleared the forest for the habitation, which, with her family, she has continued to occupy to the hour of her death. There she has lived for thirty-three years, honored, beloved and respected by all around her. Honored for her noble family connexion, made illustrious by great deeds in our colonial and revolutionary history. He was closely al- lied by blood to the families of Van Rensselaer, Van Cortland, and Livingston, and sister-in-law of the late Gen. Alex. Hamilton. Beloved, for her estimable vir- tues, and her kind and courteous manners; respected, for her mental culture and high intellectual accomplish- ments.


Mrs. Cochran was baptized on the 4th March, 1781, by the Rev. Eilardus Westerlo, of the Dutch Reformed Church, Gen. and Mrs. Washington, James Van Rens- selaer and Margarita Schuyler being her sponsors in bap- tism. For the last forty years she has belonged to the communion of the Episcopal Church, and has meekly adorned her Christian profession by a life of faith, obe- dience and resignation .- Oswego Times.
