From Reverend Samuel Hutchings’ typescript dated “Summer 1893,” page 9:
“My father died suddenly in the Bowery, falling while standing on the walk, December 30, 1830, aged 70. I was with him at the time. Having come from Princeton for a few days, I walked over to the Bowery with im. We stepped into a store, and in a few minutes he went out, and fell, dying immediately, probably, it was supposed, from heart failure. Just then, Mr. Betts, an elder of the same Church, stopped where we were, and assisting to put my father into a carriage, rode home with me to our house in North Moore Street. My father had been long a member of the old Brick Church in Beekman Street, under the pastorates of Drs. Rogers and Spring, and, for many years, and at the time of his death, was an elder in the Spring Street Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. Perrine had been, and Dr. Cox then was, pastor. The funeral was held in the church, (as that of my mother also had been) and Dr. Cox preached from “Enoch walked with God.” His body and that of my mother rest in a vault under the lecture room adjoining the church on the east.”
