northern corner of the old, old county or ROCK
bridge upon which is being builded the new IN
dustrial city of Goshen, would some day. IN the
providence of God. become the iron centef OF
the American continent. And the dying woros
of Commodore Maury were carry me Chfousn

with this, his dying wish, that the casket was ac
