EARLY HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK
He always planted an orchard the first proper moment wherever he settled. And when age began to creep on, his friends would frequently say that he was too old to reasonably hope to secure any benefits thereby; but he would always reply to the effect that it was a duty he owed to those who should come after him, and while he might possibly not live to enjoy the fruits thereof, there would be plenty who would gladly accept of them, but that he believed he should be benefited by it himself, as he came of a long-lived race of men.
