Died
Died at In Andover on the 14th 19 of February 1845 Mr Isaac Bartlett in the 76 year of his age Mr B was a pensioner, he fought in the war of 76 he bore his share of the hardships and privations incident to a long and tedious war. he went from Main. to South Carolina through the wilderness he with the rest under went every thing but death to gain our liberty he froze his feet while in the army so he was lame through life - he lived to see cultivated and fruitful fields where he found a dense wilderness - he lived and died a Christian he died with old age he was sensible that he had but little time to stay here and said said he was willing to go when his master should call. and was willing to wait all the days of his appointed time, and at last, fell calmly asleep without a struggle or a groan
I have lived neighbor to Mr Bartlett a number of years I have heard nothing very extraordinary about him only he was a whig in 76 and whig in 44 he was always opposed to tyranny - he was a trumpseter for Lafayette he help take some ships at sea - was in the battle at Brandywine and many others he was a kind husband a kind Father and a kind good neighbour - and now he has gone to receive the reward that has been laid up in store for him - we hope now he will receive the pension he so much merits Our Government has been good in granting the old soldiers a pension after the government has done all it can

care for the old soldiers it will fall far short of doing them justice - we never can do to much for these old veterans - People now talk about hard times - what do they think when they call these times hard - what would the men think now if they had to go to war and leave their wives and daughters to farm it, as they had to do in the re bel- tion. Mrs Bartlett told me the other day that she and her Mother had worked many a day in the farm field planting hoeing and harvesting while her Father was in the army
