The little girl whose death is mentioned above, was a remarkable instance of early piety. She possessed a precocious intellect, which very early became deeply pervaded with the religious element soon ripening into genuine Christianity. Her death-bed scene, though she was less than six years old, was like that of a matured Christian, exhibiting a brilliant trophy of Divine grace, deeply impressive and comforting to all who witnessed it. II. SAMUEL MINNIS, son of John Horton and Rachael Hiler, born in Phelps, 29 Oct., 1836; married in Phelps, 19 March, 1867, by Rev. George Van Alstine, to SYLVIA ANN COLE, daughter of Cyrus Chapman Cole and Charity Boardman. Children: 1. Julia May, born in Parma, Jackson Co., Mich., 4 May, 1868. III. VAN RENSSALAER WAUGH, son of John Horton and Rachel Hiler, born in Phelps, N. Y., 11 Aug., 1829; married in Orleans, N. Y., 28 Aug., 1862, by Rev. Jacob Wader, to ROWENA SPENCER RAFTER, daughter of John Rafter and Eleanor Wilson, and born at Orleans, Phelps Township, 15 April, 1841. Children: 1. Edgar Clayton, born at Clifton Springs, N. Y., 9 Feb., 1864; died 29 March, 1872. He was a wonderfully intellectual little boy. He seemed to pass through childhood and youth in a few months, and become, as it were, a man in intellect at the age of seven years. He died of scarlatina. On the third day, knowing that his sickness would prove fatal, he said, "Oh dear, I wish it would not be so long," and then added, "Methusalah only lived 969 years." At another time, when his father was fixing the pillow under his head, he said, "I would rather have a stone for my pillow, for Jacob, when he had a stone for his pillow, saw a ladder whose top reached to Heaven, and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon it." Just before he died he repeated the Lord's prayer, and then said, "I am ready to die and go to Heaven," and in a solemn tone, added, "I go down into deep water," and soon after, in a cheerful tone, exclaimed, "but I got into the Ark." On the evening of the third day of his sickness, without a struggle or a groan, "He neared the tide,--sunk as to cradle-rest and died." 2. Minerva Inez, born in Arcadia, N. Y., 6 Sept., 1866. 3.
