"One of the earliest settlers of Bacon Hill, NY. He has been spoken of as the "Saint of Bacon Hill". He had a wonderful sweetness of his voice, singing as he worked in his carpenter's shop. He had a fervent religious piety made a very strong impression on the inhabitants of the locality and held well attended religious meetings. However he also possessed a keen sense of humor. He had five daughters after all.

Inscription
His toils are passed, his work is done,
And he is fully blest;
He fought the fight, the victory won
And enters into rest.
