DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB 13 



where his brother had moved from Rockton, and was there 

 again in June, 1857. He speaks of a visit to Haverford Col- 

 lege, July 18, 1856, to see his brother-in-law Johnny Lang. 

 May 13, 1857, he made a trip by sea to Charlestown, S. C, and 

 speaks of seeing a school of whales. From there he went to 

 Aiken, S. C, evidently a health resort. 



Ever since 1849 when he was 21 years old he has referred to 

 his cough, and at Lenox, Mass., in 1851, he refers to the pain 

 caused by leaning over to write. He visited Clearfield in the 

 Allegheny Mountains, June 26, 1852, with his brother Thomas. 

 On his way to Aiken five years later he speaks of his condition 

 as discouraging, but as well satisfied with his lot. 



He was at Cape May, N. J., in May, the year uncertain. 

 These few localities which are about all I can find any mention 

 of, indicate that his travels were very limited, and I regret to 

 find in his letters almost no mention of birds except in the most 

 general terms. 



A number of bills for the purchase of horses and buggies and 

 for horse hire are evidence that he was obliged to drive or ride a 

 great deal of his time even as far back as 1852 and 1853, and 

 no doubt his favorite haunts were reached by this method of 

 conveyance. 



Not the least of admiration is bestowed upon our modest or- 

 nithologist for his remarkable energy and patient persistence in 

 the face of a wasting disease that kept tugging at his constitu- 

 tion during the entire twelve years of his maturity. Upon his 

 death his body was interned in Friends' Burial Ground, Six- 

 teenth and Race Sts. , Philadelphia; but some years ago when 

 it was proposed to use these grounds for school purposes, it was 

 transferred to the Friends' Western Burial Grounds on Sixty- 

 third St., where it now lies with the bodies of other members of 

 the family.
