In council he would stand backso that the members should not talk afterhim, therefore no great speech he carried onfarming,likemanyothers at that time, he was also a weaverby trade. When persons came to havework done, he always made it a point to. speak to them of religion. Some heardhim gladly, while others made excusesand left. It is also related of him that hehad an ox stolen and knew where it was,but he lived out what he preached/ If anyman take away thy goods, ask them notto return them again. But his neighborshad the thief arrested and lodged in theLancaster jail. Being yet under theBritish law, he feared his neighbor mightbe brought to the whipping post, he pit-ied him, and the weather being cold, fear-ing that he might have no bed in the jail,he went to Lancaster, over twenty miles,to see him, intending, if he had no bed,he would bring him one. Our informantdoes not say whether or not he had abed, neither does it matter, as the actportrays the disposition. He came notto condemn but to save the world. Thistruly good man died in September, 1798,aged 76 years and 9 months, and wasburied on the farm on which he lived,near the old road which leads from Hum-melstown to Elizabethtown. Peace be tohis
