"At the commencement of my seventeenth year, my father commenced preparing for building a new house, and I then gave up going to school, and worked through the winter at quarrying stone and getting lumber for the new house. The house was commenced in the spring and completed before fall, myself and younger brother carrying the stone and mixing the mortar. "I remained with my father until I was twenty-four years old. I then went for myself. I purchased land, and settled permanently at Adams Centre, after my marriage. In December, 1829, myself and wife connected ourselves with the Baptist Church, at the State Road, Jefferson County, New York. "We were blessed with four daughters--all grew up to womanhood, married, made a public profession of religion, and became members of the Baptist Church. We occupied our old home until the 13th of December, 1872, when death removed my dear wife from this world of care, pain and suffering to the mansions of everlasting rest, as I humbly trust. "The next April I sold my farm, and I am now spending the few remaining days of my life with my three surviving daughters, by whose affectionate care and tenderness I am made quite contented and happy."
