1840. In 1832 he established at Goshen a Baptist periodical, called the _Signs of the Times_, which is still in existence, and edited and published at Middletown, New York, by Elder Beebe, the venerable Old-School Baptist preacher. He, also, in 1844, established in Goshen the _Clarion_, the first Free-Soil newspaper ever established in this part of the State of New York. His religious and political opinions were regarded as _ultra_ or _radical_, and he was a recognized leader of his sect or party. His general urbanity and good judgment, and his enthusiastic nature, combined with his fine appreciation of the arts, made him popular with all classes of people. He died in Goshen. "Mrs. Vail survived him over a quarter of a century. She was devotedly attached to him and his children. She was a beautiful woman, and her happiness seemed to centre in their welfare, which her husband reciprocated by leaving her his entire estate, which she left unimpaired at her death, after a life of over four-score years. Their youngest daughter is the well known Madame Martinez, the eminent soprano vocalist and teacher of the voice."
