A Remark Providence recorded.
Augst 10, 1797
I think it not improper to record in this place, with Gratitude, one of the most remarkable, & astonishing Events that has taken place among us, and the most surprizing Deliverance, viz On raising a New frame for a house, two Stories high, & 3 on the back side, (belonging to Capt Jno Paty) when they had finished it, it fell all at once, with between 30 & 40 persons on it, (most of them on the top or highest floor) down to the Ground - but thro the wonderful, and almost miraculous Interposition of God's Providence, not one person killd - tho 21 received wounds - yet most of them not bad - & but one, whose bones were fractured. May this Instance of divine, signal Salvation make a suitable &
lasting Impression on the minds of all of us, particularly on those who were Subjects of this great Deliverance!
Note: Plymouth Church Records has this
incident dated in the year 1797.
History of the Town of Plymouth by

Inscription
In
memory of
Capt JOHN PATY,
who died
January 17, 1821,
in the 62 year of his age.
See smiling patience smooth his brow
See bending angels downward bow
To cheer his way on high,
While eager for the blest abode
He joins with them to praise the GOD
Who taught him how to die.
