Obituary
WOOLWORTH.--Jasper Woolworth died in Lorraine, October 8, 1873, aged 84 years. Father Woolworth was born at Greenville, Massachusetts. He removed to Northern New York, in early life. In the War of 1812, he bravely bore arms in the defense of his country. When about forty years of age he was converted to God at Copenhagen. In after life he was identified with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Copenhagen, Watertown and Rodman, as he resided at these respective places. He was thoroughly a good man; strictly honest and upright in character. The religious habits formed in his early Christian life, marked his course to the end. Our fathers are rapidly disappearing from our midst. May their mantles fall upon the shoulders of their children.
