 owner; for it was during this year that Bulrush was 

 sired, and he was at that time in the possession of Mr. 

 Evans. 



'' Soon after this, or in the autumn of 1811, Philip 

 Goss sold him to Jacob Sanderson. Sanderson sold him 

 to a Mr. Langmade, who used the old horse hard, con- 

 sidering his age. He worked him some time in a six-

 Under this treatment he became thin and poor, and was 

 purchased for a trifle by Mr. Chelsea, and shortly after 

 sold by him to Joel Goss of Claremont, N.H. Mr. 

 Goss kept him one year, and sold him to Mr. Samuel 

 Stone of Randolph. Mr. Stone kept him two or three 

 years, or until 1819, when he sold him; and he soon 

 after became the property of Levi Bean, who owned 

 him until his death, which happened in the winter of 

 1821 at the farm of CHfford Bean, situated about three 

 miles south of the village of Chelsea, Yt.

 assigned for his death but the ravages of time and the 

 usual infirmities of years. But old age was not the 

 immediate cause of his death. He was not stabled, but 

 was running loose in an open yard with other horses, 

 and received a kick from one of them in the flank. Ex- 

 posed without shelter to the inclemency of a Northern 

 winter, inflammation set in, and he died. Before 

 receiving the hurt which caused his death, he was 

 perfectly sound, and entirely free from any description
