early day. They settled in Boston, where his father engaged in
commercial business, which he actively pursued until advanced in
life, he was stricken down with heart disease behind the counter
of his store. The son was sent when twelve years of age to
Scotland to be educated. He came home a ripe scholar, well versed
in all that pertained to the education of a young man at that
day. He chose the business of a clothier, and settled at
Plattsburg, N. Y. A few years after a disastrous fire destroyed
his property. He then removed to western New York, where he
remained until a bout five years since, when he came to this
state, to make his home with his son Robert. He died full of
years and honor, and sincerely mourned by a large circle of
relatives and friends.
