EARLY HISTORY OF WOODSTOCK
He planted a very extensive orchard in Woodstock, of nearly all the known varieties of fruit, which, though now aged, stands as a monument to his skill and industry, and a source of pride to his descendants. The last one, in Kansas, now sheds, in springtime, the perfume of its-blossoms over his last resting place, and its golden fruit in autumn, like jewels in a prince's diadem, contribute to the majesty of his untiring and honest industry, while the breezes from the undulating green of the prairies whisper a fitting requiem to his memory.
