The writer has in his possession a little, short-stemmed iron pipe made by Ebenezer in his gunshop. This pipe was frequently brought into use by him during his working hours.

A short time before he died he walked from his house to the factory at Washington, a mile distant. Eleven days before the date which was the goal of his ambition he died, in the year 1834. He was buried in Mapleroot cemetery.
