A CHAPTER,„O7 LOCAL HISTORY
, Therwrirst Baptist Church
uaratoNmx.i, OF
GOVERNOR. WARD, OF'
The.Pcmtilence in 1798
For the past few days the workmen have been
engaged in exhuming the bodies that have been
graTe .yard attached to the First
burled in the
Baptist Church, Lagrange Place, near Second
street. .This edifice has not been used as a place
el6ealtip since the year 1856, when the congre
,ation removed to the magnificent stratum now
standing-at the corner of Broad and Arch streets.
The necessity for this removal could not ho avoided,
"although it had been delayed foe many years. The
increase of trade and commerce, the advance of
merchandise and the retreat of society before it,
,completely onvironed the church on Lagrange
Place, with stores. warerooms, and tenant-houses.
The members of the church had removed so far from
the place of worship that they found it impossible
to attend unlace through many disadvantages, and
accordingly they (teased their membership gradual
ly and joined themselves to other Baptistchurehes,
nearer their _ places of residence. The trustees of
the church found it impossible to collect an audi
ence, and were compelled to' make the arrange
ments for the removal, which were consummated
in 1856.
The grave-yard atttiched to the church was a
serious obstacle against any abandonment of the
ground by the church members. It had been need
as a grave-yard for nearly a hundred and fifty
years, nett generation after generation of the mem
bers were sleeping beneath its sods. The remains
of every pastor of the church, sines 1722, with two
exeoptions, were interred there. To leave it would
have been worse than sacrilege, and to suffer the
remains of their honored dea to become the
foundations of stores and. vrarehouses---thus ob
litereting every trace of their previous history,
and the men who figured in it—was something . that
could not for a moment be seriously entertained.
Th 6 trustees of the church accordingly determined
to preserve the building as a mission church ander
the auspices of the Broad-street congregation.
The unfavorable location of the building rendered
this design a failure, as very few could be brought
to the religions services. Since the failure of this
last attempt the church has been abandoned. ,
The grave-yard attadhcd to the church is sur
rounded, by a row of tenement-houses, families of
tenants occupying every room. To these houses
are atedohed no yards, and the occupants for a few
years past haVe been in the habit of throwing the
offal and reface of their domestic) economy into the
grave-yard. This practice has reduced the yard
to a most offensive condition, and it soon became
evident that before many years the graves and
grave-stones would be entirely buried beneath the
acerunnlation of filth.
Finally, it was determined to remove the re
mains of ' those reposing in the yard to a more
eligible locality, where they would not be subject
to the ravages of commercial improvement. A
large lot was procured in Mount Atonal Cemetery,
one hundred and silty feet square. This lot bee
been divided off into avenues and burial loti for
the reception of the remains removed from Second
street. In the centre of this square will be in
terred the' remains of the unrecognised dead, and
those of the pastors. A neat monument, in the
shape of a marble shaft. will be erected in the
centre, to the memory of those buried around it.
The avenues of this lot are named after the de
ceased pastors of the church—to wit: Revs.
Jenkin Jones, Edward Kinnersiey, Morgan Ed.
wards, 'Thomas Ustiok. William Rogers, D. D.,
William Stoughton, D. D., Henry Holcomb, D. D.
and William Brantley, D. D. The remains of all
of these pastors will be interred at the Cemetery,
with the exception of Rev. Drs. Staughton and
Brantley.
During the process of removing these remains,
which has been carried on for the pest week or
two, we have taken °melon to pay moral visits
to the scene of the removal. The temains, as
general thing, have been found in it state of ex
- collect preservation. and no one instance of unlaw
ful visits to the dead has been discovered. One or
two remarkable inatances—we might say pheno
mena—have been seen. As yet, no instance of
petrifaction, so often published as occurring, hes
been witnessed. Bodies have been raised, after
remaining in the ground for thirty years, bearing
very few marks of decay. In one case, an elderly
man recognised the features of his mother, who
had been buried for nearly thirty years. This
was a remarkable case of preservation, some of the
clothing remaining, to all appearances, as perfect
as when it name from the loom. Other bodies land
hardened almost to petrifaction, although this pro
eels had not been completely attained. The ma
jority, however, had mouldered away into dust,
leaving no traces of a former existence other than
afew bones.
A few words In relation to the history of this
church may be read with interest by those who
take an interest in the history of our city. The
• congregation first met in 1695, worshipping in con
bunction with a small body of Presbyterians in a
uilding owned by the 13arbadoes company, at the
corner of Chestnut and Second streets. There
was a church at Pennepack in existence at this
time, the pastor of whioh, Bev. Sohn Watts, moo
atonally worshipped with the Baptists at the Bar
badoes storehoueo. In 1698, the two bodies sepa
rated, the Presbyterians. woridd;nino,
at the former building, while the Baptists removed
to the browhouso of Anthony Morris, situated at
what is now known as Dook and Water streets.
Hero the Bodied; remained until the year 1708,
when they acc+l,ted the invitation of the Keithians,
(a sect now lextinct, which had seceded from the
Quakers l•nder the lead of one George Keith,) and
worshiped in a email wooden building on the site of
he present church oa Second street. This frame
building was torn down in 1731, and a neat brick
one, 42 by 60 feet. erected in its stead. This
was torn down in 1762, and a larger building built.
Tho increase of the congregation, consequent upon
the increase of the city, led to numerous other al
terations in the edifice, until it attained its present
proportions.
Rev. John Watts, the pastor of the church at
Pennepaok, died In 1702. The church in Phila
delphia was under the ministrations of Rev. Evan
Morgan, who died in 1709, after three years' ser
vice to the ministry. He was succeeded by Rev.
Nathaniel Jenkins, who arrived from Wales in
1710, and remained for a year, removing - to Cape
May. In 1711,.Rev. Sohn Burrows, from England,
came and remained until 1713, wheuhe removed to
Middletown ' Connecticut.
The oldest atone found in this grave-yard was
that over the grave of the Rev. Abel Morgan who
died on December 16, 1822. The tablet is made of
Welsh soap-stone, and was evidently imported from
Wales The inscription Is almost effaced, and no
definite traces of the remains can be found. The
stone will be removed to the new cemetery. Mr.
Morgan cams from Wales in 1712, having been in
vited by the church at Pennepaok. He had been
a minister in Wales for several years, and was
much beloved by the congregation in Philadelphia
over which he officiated before it had been organ
ized into a church.
Rev. Morgan Edwards, mentioned above as ono
of the ministers of this church, was an Englishman
by birth, and arrived in this country in 1768. Ile
succeeded Rev. Edward Kinnereley as pastor of this
church. Ile published a history of the Baptists in
1770 ; a work limited to en account of the civil his
tory of the Church, and its various settlements in
- this country. He left Philadelphia about 1775, and
died in 1795.
Tho name of Captain Benjamin Loxley is fa
miller to every student of Philadelphia history.'
Ho wee a noted man in his day. His remains wore
interred in this.grave.yard, where they sleep side
by side with those of his descendants to the fourth
and fifth generation- Ho folded in a frame house
of singular construction now standing at No. 177
South Second street, at the junction of Little Dock
and Second streets. In the early days of our his
tory, it is written that George Whitfield was mous
tomed to preach to the citizens from the balcony in
front of the house. The house was then in the
suburbs of the town, and large were the audi
ences that congregated every Sabbath to hear the
wonderfully eloquent Whitfield. Captain Loxley
was " keeper of the King's stores," and lieutenant
of , the artillery. When the "Paxton boys"
threatened to intade the city, he organized the
proposed measures of defence. When the Revolu
tion broke out he resigned his colonial post and or
ganized the first artillery company of rebels in the
army of America. Ile partiewated in the, battle
of Red Bank, and was at Mud Fort when the Sri-
Cab vessel Blackbird was blown up, When the
British army occupied Philadelphia great exertions
were made by them to capture the Captain, whose
resignation of office and active part in the military
Inmates made him particularly obnoxious. A
reward was offered for his head, but he managed
to escape their clutches. He accompanied Wash
ington to Valley Forge,
remained in the army du
ring the war, returned to Philadelphia after the
peace, where he died at a good old age. He has a
large number of descendants now living in our
midst, •
One of the most eminent men burled here was
Governor Ward of Rhode Island. His body,was
interred benenthone of the aisles within the 'Murat
building. His remains were claimed by one of hie
grandsons, who came on from New York to receive
them. Tony will be removed to Rhode Island.
The slab over the grave of the Governor contains
the following inscription, which will be read with
interest, coming, as it did, from the pen of the
celebrated John Jay :

A biographical sketch • of Governor Ward may
not be uninteresting to the people of this genera.
' tioniwhe have tasted the sweet experience of that
liberty, for the attainment of which he devoted the
closing years of an honorable life. Samuel Ward
'was born at 'Newport, Rhode Island, on the 27th of
May, 1745. Bo was the second eon of Richard
Ward, who was Governor of Rhoda Island in 1741
and 1742, and the grandson of Thomas Ward, who
IMMO to this country during the time of Charles
' , II, and who died in Rhode Island In 1689, a
lighly esteemed and respected eitisen. Samuel,
. the subject of this sketch, completed his education
at Harvard College, where he graduated in 1793.
' Ilia education was of a very prattles! character,
• and under the tutilage of his father (who was at
the head of large commercial and agricultural in
• 'tercets at Newport) he acquired an extensive
kpolviedge of the duties of a merchant and a
farmer. At an early period of hie life he married
AIWA Ray; the :daughter of a respectable fanner
..Island, and an elder sister of Catharine
of Block Island, who is mentioned • in the
•111.4 ft of Dr. Franklin as one of his most veiled
and intelligent correspondents. After his mar
riage,..Mr, Ward settled down on a farm at West
- erly, , devoting himself to the improvement of his
'estate; and the, prosecution of his commercial pur.
suits.
first appearance in public life was in 1715,
he represented the town of Westerly in the
Aneral Assembly of Rhode Island. Ile remained
7 , in- tbs-Aseprably until 1759, - and was known ea one
'of the Most active and intelligent men in the body.
During the French war, which took place about
that time, Mr. 'Ward represented Rhode' Island at
a Convention, 'which was bald at Hartford, to min
-. suit with-.Lord' londoun, the ,, oommander of the
British • forces, as to the beat course to'be pursued
by the ooloalelL arid parent eotintry, lit the
vigorous prosecution of the war. The report of the
commissioners of4thode -Island, which was pro

'Ay, and the saggiatians it contained carried into
The variant loader of the colonial history of the
United States, , and particularly that of the State
of Rhode Island, Is familiar with the paper-money
controversy, which raged throughout the Colonies
taring the greater part of the eighteenth eontury,
interior to the Revolution. A newspaper article
is not the place for an elaboration of the merits
and demerits of this controversy. While Mr.
Ward was a member of the Assembly, it raged to
a fearful extent. Stephen Hopkins—subsequently
a signer of the Declaration of Independence—ran as
a candidate for Governor in 1757, as an opponent
of the paper system, after having served as Go
vernor the year preceding. During the canvass,
he published an address' to the citizens of Rhode
Island, intimating that, during his term of office,
the Legislature had pursued a course of policy
hostile to the success of his Administration. Mr.
Ward defended the Assembly, and attacked the
Administration of Governor Hopkine with severity.
Phe GoveTztor brought a suit against Mr. Ward
for slander; to the courts of the State, retaining
the celebrated James Otis as his counsel. This suit
wee never prosecuted, and only led to a fu-ther
exasperation of feeling among the partisans of
Hopkins and Ward. The feeling continued for
several yeais, and, in 1762, Mr. Ward was elected
Governor, after a most animating and exalting
canvass. He was succeeded by Mr. Hopkins in
1763, but was again elected in 1785, and continued
in office until 1787.
We pass over hurriedly the incidents of the Mo
dal history, and the prominent part taken by Go
vernor Ward in the strifes and struggles of the
colonial politics. We find ourselves on the thresh
old of more important and memorable events.
We find the 4, stamp-act excitement" (that pro
logue to the great drama of the Revolution) ex
tending into Rhode Island. We find the Assembly
eppointing delegates to the Colonial Congress,
which was to meet at New York ; and find Henry
Ward (a younger brother of the Governor's) among
the number, We And Governor Ward at an early
lay taking a decided stand against the prelimi
nary encroachments of the ministry. We find him
a private citizen in 1773, writing a letter to his
fellow-citizens of Westerly, proposing and advo
cating a united oppoeition to all attempts at intro
ducing taxed tea into Newport by the British.
We find him in 1774 the chairman of a town-com
mittee at Westerly, introducing a series of resolu
tions breathing forth a spirit of patriotio devotion
to the threatened rights of the people of the colo
nies: and eventually we find him appointed in
conjunction with his old antagonist, Stephen Hop
kins, a delegate, from the colony of Rhode Island
to the Continental Congress, which met at Phila.
deiphia, in Carpenter's Hall, on the sth of Sep
tember, 1774.
The drams of Revolution and War opened with
all its horrors of bloodshed and devastation, and
ail its glorious arenas of devotion to the rights
of map, and determination to obtain liberty at any
and every cost. Samuel Ward, of Rhode Island,
performed a prominent part in these scenes, and
performed ii well. Speaking of his own position
and his feelings, in a letter to his brother, written in
1775, he says: " I have traced the progress of this
unnatural war through burning towns, devastation
of the country, and every subsequent evil. I have
realized, with regard to myself, the ballot, the
bayonet, and the halter; and, compared with the
immense object I have in view, they are all less than
nothing. No man living, perhaps, is more fond of
his children than I am, and I am not so old as to be
tired of life; and yet, as far as I can now judge,
the tenderest connections and the most important
private concerns are very minute objects. Heaven
save my country, I was going to say, is my first,
my last, and almost my only prayer."
Eloquent words, sincerely written! Governor
Wardinew their meaning—knew the times upon
whieh he had fallen, and knew how to moot ap
proaching emergency. He took an active part in
the movements of the Rhode Island patriots, and
earnestly co-operated with John Adams in his el
forts to place the military system upon a proper
footing. .His eon, Samuel Ward, had but recently
come from college, and entered the Colonial army
with the commission of a captain. While the Con •
grass was In oommitte of the whole " on the consi
deration of the State of America," Mr. Ward occu
pied the chair. He was the chairman of the com
mittee on the whole which originated a resolution
"that a general bo appointed to command all the
Continental forces raised, or to be raised, for the
defence of American liberty." Thie resolution
was passed, after which "the Congress then pro
ceeded to the choice of a general by ballot, and
George Washington, Esq., was unanimously elect
ed." He was a devoted admirer of General Wash
ington, and a eincere advocate of his election. A
few weeks after the appointment, he wrote to Ge
neral Washington thus: "I most cheerfully en
tered upon a solemn engagement, upon your ap
pointment, to eupport you with my life and my
fortune; and I shall most religiously, and with
the bigheat pleasure, endeavor to discharge that
duty."
We find Governor Ward a most active member
of Congress, and untiring in his efforts to organize
and advance the preparations for defence on the
part of the Colonists. He was warmly in favor of
pronouncing a declaration of independence, and,
although be did not live to sign the Declaration,
yet he was ono of the most active and determine d
among thlatieswhe consummated it. He wrote to his
eon Samuel, who had been taken prisoner at Quebec,
under the lamented Montgomery, words of en
couragement, approval, and - fatherly advice ; and,
as a member of Congress, did everything possible
for the advancement of the cause, and the amerc.
ful defence of Colonial liberty.
Death came upon him suddenly in the noonday
of his usefulness. We find shim presiding in the
Committee on the Whole on the 13th of March. the
lest time be is mentioned by the Journals of Con
gress as participating in its proceedings. He was
present as a member on Mardi 14 and March 15, but
from thenceforward his seat was vacant forever.
On the 26th of March, 1776, he died of smallpox,
in the fifty-first year of his age. The Pennsylva
nia Gazette, March 27,177*, now before us, thus
announces hie death :
" Died Yesterday Morning, the Honourable S A M
L WARD, Read late Member of she Con
tinental Congress' his !Imams will be interred this
Afternoon in the Baptist Church.
' The Procession will begin at three o'clock. this Af
ternoon at Mrs. Rouse's, in Lodge Alley. where the
Friends of the Dowsed are desired to attend. , The
Body will be carried, to Arch-street Church, where a
sermon on the mewled will be delivered by the Rev,
Mr. [Stillman ; The Ladies will be admitted into the Gal
leries at three o'Clock."
In the letters of John Adams, we find the follow
ing allusion to the death of Governor Ward : "His
funeral was attended with the same solemnities as
Mr. Randolph's. Mr. Etlllman, being the Ana.
baptist minister.here, of whieh persuasion was the
Governor, was desired by Congress to preach a ser
mon, which be did with great applause."
Many years subsequent to this, John Adams,
writing to a grandson of Governor Ward, thus
spoke of him : He was a gentleman in his man
ners, benevolent and amiable in his disposition,
and as decided, ardent and uniform in his patriot.

was seized with the small-poz, he said that-if his
vote and voice were necessary to support the cause
of his country he should live ; if not, be should die.
lie died, and the cause of hie country was sup
ported; but it lost ono of its most sincere and
punctual advocates."
One of the tombstones hero reminds us very
painfully and forcibly of those scenes of death and
desolation to which Philadelphia was subject in
the years 1793 and 1798. We copy a portion of
the inscription, which the "effacing Huger" of
Time has almost obliterated :

This "pestilential fever," or. as it is now called.
the "yellow fever," raged about the time recorded
on this tombstone. Although not as extensive in
its ravages As the fever of 1793, yet it was accom
panied with as many horrors, and, if possible, cast
the city into a deeper gloom. It broke out in the
early part of August, 1798, as we see published an
order ft m the Board of Health, dated August 8,
1798, stating that "information had been received
from the Oollege of Physicians that a malignant,
contagious Fever had made its appearance in Water
street, between Walnut and Spruce streets, and
in the vicinity thereof." This order prohibited
vessels from laridleg at the wharf until further
orders ' and requested the inhabitants residing in
the vicinity to remove from the scene of danger.
We find through the columns of the journals of
that day, announcements similar to these:

Cooper and Dr. Benjamin Rush Is published, in
which the latter gentleman gives the result of his
experience in the epidemic of 1793.
The following annonnoement was published very
prominently in ono of the journals of the day :

[Here follow the names of twenty -nine physicians

As an instance of the friendly feeling that ex
fitted between the cities of the North and the South
in the olden time, we may state that there was re
solved by the proper authorities of Philadelphia. a
draft from the Mayorof Baltimore, on the United
States Bank, for $3,000, as part of a subscription
taken up in Baltimore for the relief of the sufferers
of this city.
We have dwelt at length upon the narration of
theta facts, nor do wo think an apology necessary
for having done so. There ie no chapter of the
history of Philadelphia more interesting, and (in
some parte) more painful, than that which details
the 'rsidents of her early days; how she bore her-
self through the Revolution ; how she fostered the
infant enterprises of Christianity in her midst, and
how she suffered from pestilence and death. Prom
this last calamity she has, for the past generation
or two, happily been exempt, and instead of' being
the recipient of her sister cities' bounty as in 1798,
she has answered time and again similar calls from
them. We conclude this narrative by copying the
following expressive end pootio lines from the
Gazette of November 5, 1793, together with the
editorial remarks preceding them. The brave
and self-denying men to whom they allude have
long since passed away—and nothing could be
more beautiful on the part of their descendants,
and the descendants of those whom their bounty
relieved, than a grateful and heartfelt acquiessence
in these words of merited eulogy :
"The following lines aro the production of a female
pen. A friend to humanity, into whose hand. a copy has
aocidentally fallen, thinks it his duty by melons them
ElVeligingit'retire 4,ll:Z t gaViltt: pwalt7, that
which can. with.pr 'misty . be offered, to withhold it is a
mime, to pay it le a sacred duty s",
" Let heartfelt gratitude your cares repay,
Who kept your posts amidst the deadly pest,
Poured healing balm on nature's dread decay,
And lost your own to give the afflicted rest.
" Who, 'midst the siek'ning, dying. and the dead,
When 4 v'ry tounh was deep in death arrayed,
Yon reached the cordial to the infected bed,
You save the suirrers every human rod.
"Not more than this was in the power of man.
Or generous hearts like yours that more had done
Ah ! here indeed the true paternal plan
Not by destruction boasts the vootory won.
"Thus. inyour hnur of weakneen and of woe—
For such the fairest prospects will invade—
May Nature every tender help bestow,
And gracious Heaven extend Diviner aid."

" In August,l66B, an estimable friend of ours returned
' from a visit in the country, much emulated, and la•

' rapid inroads upon her constitution, that we felt
'something must be done at once, or she would become

8. W. FOWLS & Co., Huston,—
For several years I have been obliged to have eine
sional recourse to some Cough Hemsoy, being afflicted
with a pulnionary complaint, the nature of my business
being cools as to greatly aggravate the disease. •
I have used most of the popular remedies of the day,
as well as the prescriptions al eminent ph) mimeos, but
have never found anything that affords the relief which
I.h. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry always has. I
can truly say that It is the best cough remedy in exis
tence.
1 know from experienoe that there are worthless
counterfeits of the Balsam sold by unprincipled dealers.
The genuine is prepared by YOU and has the Written
signature of "J. Bulls.' on the outer wrapper.
I would also adlthat I have used the Balsam in my
family, by the advice of physicians, with the happiest
results. Yours, truly,_

These steamers, built expressly for Government ser
vice, with double engines, under deck, every attention
has been taken in the construction of the bull and me,
chineryto insure safety and speed. The ships have five
watertight compartments enclosing the engines, so
that to the event of collision or stranding. the water
oould not read( them. and the pumps being free to work,
the safety of the vessel and paesengere would be se
oured. Recent experience has demonstrated the abso
lute necessity of this mode of construction.
The acoommodations for passengers are believed to
combine every comfort and oonvenience that can be de
