at once put the association into correspondence
with Col. W. M. Ferry, Grand Haven. Mich.,

May 2d, 1S34. But Providence had kindly gone
before him. His sou Alonzo had come to Paw

his son Caleb had settled near by, in Kalama

For this he was fitted by uis Puntau descent.

their consistency, straight forwardness and
tenacity of purpose- 1 1 e w as active in temper

stroogly to established habits of life : and es
pecially to to old scenes and associations.
Touching examples of this were afforded in
the lingering fondness with whicn he clung to
Lis accustomed place of work, ani how he
prized the privilege of revisiting the scenes of
ail early life at the east But his religious ex
perience gave opportunity for the fuller mani
festation of these strong and best traits of his
character. He made a profession of religion

the remainder N years of his life was faitnful
in his devotion to bis christian duties- The
rare and beautiful testimony that ' He was
never known to speak ill of any one" should be

accompanying testimony. "He was not known
to Lave an enemy.' Lately age and infirmity

Basbaw was sired by tbe Tayes horse, he by
DeWitt Clinton, he by old ( hDton or New
York. Dam bv the Ward horse, be bf Par
