Az E,CENrRIC NAN.-AuguStus McLWen,
of Iline,burgh, VI, whose death at the ripe
age of 81 years is chronicled this week, was
NO ordinary man. He was farmer. lie
read for himself and formed his own opin-
ions. and no man in the place was more es-
teemed than he lie acquired large prop
ertv. estimated at hundred thousand dol
lars. tie was. however, peculiar. lie had
his crave dug more than twenty Years ago,
and stoned-up. and filled with earth that 1t
mieh; be in perfect condition. Last fall,
before frost came. he hired Il man to dig
the earth ont of it. and place it back in a
nice pile. saying he expected to be placed
there before winter was over. lie had the
grave filled with straw and covered over
with plank. His coffin was made BY the
late Jacob Green, seven years ago, and car
ried to his house TO be ready for use when
ever required.
When the coffin was made the man was
not measured. but the size of the st0ned-up
crave was given, and the coffin made small
enough to 20 into that. 1t was said it was
arranged for him TO lie on his side. with
the knee drawn up to shorten the natural
length of the person. He always slept ON
his side in life, and wanted 50 to sleep in
death.
All his plan. for the funeral were made
in advance. and. among the rest, The Sc
/ lected four colored boys, who had worked
/ for him more or less. as had their father be
1 fore them. sons of Cephas Peters, as pail
/ bearers. They were to carry the body to the
/ grave. which was ON his own farm, lower it
/ TO its last resting place, fill the grave with
earth. and then walk back 10 the house
| where they were to find each letter
sealed and directed to them, in which was
the money to pay for this last service which
he had required of them. They did tbs
work and re, eived the sealed letter, but
what sum of money was therein has not yet
transpired.
Hinesburgh had no man in it whose wore
was any more to be depended on thar
his. He was good citizen, always con
sentative, and always ready to give his rea
sons for the opinion he had formed, ant
when his opinion was once formed he neyel
changed it, and seldom would he allow
himself to reconsider n settled opinion. b,
first wife he had several children, all o
whom. except one son of unsound mind an,
body, are dead By second wife, nov
living, he had four daughters who are al
living. The name McEwen has now sub
stantially ceased in town, His father befor
him was one of the early settlers of tn
place.
Peace to his ashes. ''-Denoerat.
