Death
In Franklin [Delaware Co. NY] on the 15th inst. Deacon Ira McCall in the 91st year of his age.
the deceased had lived past the allotted age of man and his life carries us back beyond the period of our national history and was one of the connecting links between the past and present. He was born in Lebanon, Conn., and immigrated and settled in Franklin in 1790. At that time there was but four or five families in what is now three or four towns, which was then comprised in one. It was a dense howling wilderness and the only way of travelling was by marked trees. We at present have no perception of the privations and hardships which the early settlers had to endure. In the settlement and establishment of society, he was called upon to take a leading part. He brought with him those virtues and rigid principles of right, which are the only enduring basis of society. He is the last survivor of the early settlers, and they have left the impress of their character behind them. He reared a family of twelve children, eight of whom survive. He was called to suffer much; twenty years since had to suffer the amputation of a limb to save his life. He was ever foremost in the promotion of whatever was for the good of society, having taken a leading part in the religious and moral movements of society to which he lived until age and infirmities compelled him to retire. The malignant disease which terminated his life was borne with Christian fortitude and resignation. He was never heard to murmur or complain. In considering his character, its distinguishing characteristics will ever be remembered by his friends. He might seem slow in the formation of opinion, but when once formed it was pursued without deviation or shadow of turning. He was kind as a parent, wise as a counsellor, faithful as a friend, benevolent and liberal as a citizen. In all of his business relations through a long life he was never reproached for want of honesty and integrity as a religious man, his life was worthy of imitation. Strict in the observance of all requirements, he was constant in his attendance at public worship, and it made no difference whether sunshine or storm, he was almost always there. Although his death has been expected for some time, yet we shall mis his familiar form and pleasant greeting. One by one our fathers are passing away and if we live to a hundred years yet is our strength labor and sorrow. Let us emulate their virtues and strive to be wiser and better.
