Obituary

ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOT GONE.
—At Scipio, Cayuga Co., N. Y., March 14th, 1846,
Elias Manchester, aged 87 years and 7 months.
The deseased was a native of Dutchess county, and a soldier of the Revolution. He fought
the battle for freedom, and his blood crimsoned
the plains of Saratoga, having been wounded at
the taking of Burgoyne. He encountered the
perils—-endured the hardships—suffered the privations, and shared the glory of " the times that tried men's souls." In consequence of the high integrity of his character, and the benevolence of his heart, it has been his happy privilege, during his long and somewhat eventful life, to have lived in the midst of ardent and sincere friends, and to have descended to his tomb " in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in, in his season," without an enemy.
He has left to his children and their numerous
descendants, the inestimable legacy of having
lived and died an honest man, " which is the noblest work of God."—[Auburn Journal.
