Josiah Kirkbride, at present in business
at Norfolk, Virginia, has recollections
connected with the building of Trinity
Church, which has just been torn down.
Kirkbride, Samuel R. Toy and Charles
Haines were carpenters at work on the
the building and were engaged on the
tower which was raised to its proper
height, but was not securely fastened and
it fell to the ground. The three men
were on top, so feet from the ground.
The tower fell slowly. and Toy and
J aaines jumped when they saw chance,
but Kirk bride kept his place till the tim
bers struck the rafters on the roof. AL
the men were crippled. Kirkbride is the
only one living, Haines dying some time
ago, Toy being killed in Philadelphia
mill about month since.
