Death
Died on the 21st of March instant, Joseph Munger, Esquire, of Paris, Oneida County [NY], aged 63. It is seldom that we have to record the death of a man whose life has so uniformly been spent in the cause of religion, of virtue, and of his country. But the hero, the patriot, the Christian has gone. An aged mother of 92, a tender wife and 13 children, together with other relatives, survive to mourn his departure. Joseph Munger was born in the year 1760 and early entered the service of his country. He joined the band of patriots and was in several of the principal battles fought during the revolution, in all of which he served with reputation. At the battle of Saratoga, he partially lost the sight of one of his eyes. As a father, he was adored by an affectionate family for whose welfare he paternally provided. As a man, he was the ornament and pride of society and has left no enemy. As a member of the ancient and respectable fraternity of free and accepted Masons, he was long one of its most shing ornaments, the testimony of which was shown at his funeral on the Lord's Day after his decease by the attendance of five lodges. A sermon was delivered by the Rev. E.M. Spencer, from Isaiah xl.8 "The grass withereth and the flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever." As a testimonial of the respect and estimation in which he was held, one of the most numerous assemblies ever known in these parts, attended his funeral obsequies.
He has gone! The grave has closed on another of the companions of Washington. Unnerved and palsied is that arm which once wielded the sword of freedom. Cold is that heart which once beat high with martial ardor for the cause of injured Columbia. Sleep on, hoary warrior, till the trumpet of Gabriel shall summon you with your brave companions in arms to fight the battles of the Lord and receive rest from all your toil. We will further remark, that as a child, he was eminently distinguished for his filial piety and dutiful affection; as a parent, kind and tender; as a husband, affectionate.
In a word, in all the domestic and social relations of life, as a man, as a patriot, as a Christian, he has lived without reproach and departed with the tears and benedictions of all who knew his personal worth, and of all who retain admiration of the perfections which adorn the human character.
