l803j REV. WILLIAM SMITH, D. D. 449 



In the office of the Register of Wills, in Philadelphia, I find the 

 following list of bills paid by the executors : 



Dr. Benjamin Rush, medical attendance, ;^334. 34 



James Traquair, inscription, etc., for vault, 60.94 



David Edwin, for engraving portrait, 45- 00 



Robert Haydock, stone work for vault, 120.00 



Dr. Physick, medical attendance, 32.00 



Dr. Bensell, medical attendance, 12.50 



Subscription to road in Huntingdon for 1803, 10.00 



Funeral expenses, 199- 14 



For mourning rings, as per will, 280.00 



The mausoleum erected by Dr. Smith was used by some mem- 

 bers of the family as a place of sepulture until the death of my 

 father, Richard Penn Smith, in the year 1854. This gentleman being 

 aware that at no distant day his estate would be sold for the purpose 

 of division, directed that a lot should be purchased in the cemetery 

 of Laurel Hill, which is in sight of the old homestead, and that the 

 bodies, now about fourteen in number, should be removed to that 

 place. This was supposed to have been done with all the bodies, 

 including that of Dr. Smith; but from the fact of their having 

 been buried in the vault, those of Dr. Smith were not discovered, 

 and so were not removed. They were subsequently disinterred 

 by me, and it is my intention to reinter them in the grounds 

 either of Christ Church, where he so often preached, or in those 

 of St. Peter's, which he dedicated. 



Dr. Smith left a large landed property. It was in different parts 

 of Pennsylvania and New York, the largest part perhaps being in 

 Huntingdon county. Pa. He had made during his lifetime a 

 careful division among his children, who all received a fair estate, 

 indeed I may say a large one. His property at the Falls of 

 Schuylkill fell to the. portion of my grandfather, William Moore 

 Smith, and was in turn inherited by his son, Richard Penn Smith. 

 From him I received a portion of the same property, which will 

 in time be the portion of my son and my grandchildren.
