He was one of the first to settle in the wild woods of Erin over 60 years ago, & reached the ripe old age of 87 years. His hearth-stone had always a welcome for the pioneer preacher in the days long ago & he did his whole duty in assisting to secure for the neighborhood good schools & churches in the early days. His remains were interred at Conningsby.
