Death Date 24 May 1857, Death Date on Image:24 Fifth 1857
Nathan Vail, Plainfield N.J. 80y, an Elder.
His humble, self-denying, upright walk gave him a great place in minds of his friends and others, so that when it became necessary to advise or reprove, it was administered that with love for truth and the individual, that left the object of his interest more attached to him more than before. His love and adherence to the principles and practices of Friends were firm and enduring; and when assailed with disease, which unfitted him for the actives scenes among his fellowmen wherein he had been so useful, even when his love to God, his love to friends, his love of meetings, and his love for the truths of the gospel were conspicuous.
