clergymen, seeing the procession coming ordered
a vigorous ringing Of the church bells to indicate

on arriving at New-Rochelle the procession went
to the little cemetery of Trinity Church where the
gravediggers were awaiting its arrival by the side

Then he turned to the Eravodggers. and COM

now remembered that in his will he had reserved
for himself twenty square feet on his farm as
place of burial; but, unfortunately he had omitted
to a location. They proceeded TO the farm
to carry out his last wish. but Nehemiah Purdy,
who had acquired possession. refused to allow them
the premises. In this dilemma they were
obliged bury Paines body in the right of way

The present monument is supposed TO mark the
spot where the body buried. but those who
raised the shaft made error as to the exact
location. About thirty feet south Of IL stands
lourishng hickory tree. and near It are the
stumps of two locust posts. Years ago the father
OF Henry NJ. Lester. OF New-Rochele. placed these
posts. with two others that have long since rotted

subsequently the hickory tree sprouted from the
mound.

account books out of the charred mass
which is all that remains of his office.

damage with any degree of accuracy,
but it is thought $4,000. the original fig-

and building.
The office was at the rear of the first
floor and was almost destroyed The
damage from water, it is believed. will
be greater that that by fire. because OF
