As a philanthropist, he had no mean record. He left $5,000 

 to Boston and Philadelphia respectively for the encouragement of 

 young married mechanics, that had accumulated a total of $348,- 

 000 in Boston in one hundred years. Another gift of 100 was 

 made to provide silver medals to be given annually for meritori- 

 ous scholarship in the public schools. 



To such a crowded life no worthy benediction can be written. 

 His last words were "A dying man can do nothing easy." The 

 thought of service and usefulness occupied his mind to the last 

 breath and he died as he had lived, the most versatile American.
