Denny: His person cast in the finestmould for strength, activity and proportion was well adaptedto the air of dignity which nature herself had impressedupon it. His mind was of a strong and discerning order—always governed by candor and sincerity and warmed bythe love of truth. His views were expressed in the languageof simplicity and earnestness—neither adorned nor obscuredby the garnish of imagery or the flashes of OLD STONE CHURCH Spring Run, Pa. 46 HISTORY OF PATH VALLEY On the 17th of January, 1838, Mrs. Denny died and thissorrow, with the increasing infirmities of age, led him toresign his charge. For many years he had supplementedhis salary by teaching Latin and Greek in the Chambers-burg Academy. This added burden would seem to havedivided his interest, but we are told that he had the highrespect and veneration of his people among whom helabored for thirty-seven years. He died December 16, 1845, just seven years after hisfaithful companion had passed away.
