Anna Maria Young

Delaware Gazette, January 20, 1820

On Anna Maria Young, a truly pious and benevolent recluse, who lived nearly 30 years alone on a small farm, the home of her ancestors, situated almost on the summit of one of the Oley mountains.  Her cottage was the picture of neatness and of comfort, and was visited by strangers from every direction, who never failed to depart without imbibing the highest opinions of the meekness, the piety, and the benevolence of their lonely, yet happy hostess.  She died November 17, 1819, aged 70 years.

By a Lady of Philadelphia

Here, underneath this mountain stone,

Lies Mary Young, who lived alone

High on the lofty mountain's side,

Belov'd and Honor'd till she died;

Lov'd and honor'd by the few,

Who give to virtue, virtue's due.

Stranger, she that's buried here,

Was humble, pious, and sincere;

The even tenor of her days,

She pass'd in grateful pray'r and praise,

Her heart was like the gentle dove,

That came from Heav'n with promis'd love--

Her heart, her hands, her cottage door,

Were open to the rich and poor.

Her faith confirm'd, her will resign'd,

So sweetly calm, so pure her mind,

The God of mercy from his Throne

Look'd down and claim'd her as his own.

Delaware Gazette, June 15, 1820

On Friday the 9th inst., a young man by hte name of Tisdel Daggett about 23 years of age, was drowned in a mill pond in the town of Stamford. The circumstances relating to this affliction of Providence, are these:  He attempted to swim a horse across the pond and when about in the center, was thrown off, and as is supposed, the horse struck him with his feet--he immediately sunk to the bottom.  He was shortly after taken out, and every exertion to bring him to life, proved ineffectual.  From the best information that can be obtained, the deceased has some friends residing in the County of Niagara, having left that place about two months ago.
