The deceased was born in Chester, in the State of Massachusetts, and became a resident of this place in 1815, where he was engaged in mercantile business for about 25 years. His habits were uncommonly domestic. He scarce ever mingled in the scenes of public life, and traveled very little.
Careful in his business, and frugal in his expenditures, he leaves a handsome estate for his wife and children. His death will be deplored, especially by his immediate neighbors, for he possessed a cheerful and obliging disposition. A number of years ago, he united with the Presbyterian church, and became a ready and liberal supporter of the institutions of religion. In the efforts, which have been made from time to time, in this village, to advance the interests of education, he has also given his aid. Proverbial for his attachment to his wife and children, - to them his death, will be long and deeply mourned. The unusually large assemblage at the funeral on Sabbath morning, showed the deep sensation created by his death.
