The man had lived in the first years of the nineteenth century, and in the days when more than a date and a name was thought necessary to mark the last resting place of a beloved one. This particular epitaph is said to have been written by Bishop Hopkins, who, being a relative, was chosen also to be the chroni cler of a sad event. The Bishop wrote the rtory cut on this stone, and anyone can read it by coming a few min utes earlier to church by W3y of the western walk through the graveyard: BEXEATa TnlS tTOJTE Repose tlie tnortnl remain of "5VILLIAM EDWAKD MULLER, Who was cut off br the liand of a t i'e but mysterious Providence In iho 23d year of liie ape. In tlie week bciore bis expected nuptials, in tlie rnornimrof life. Happy in the iarra attachment of his frienas, and the reneml esteem ot socity. Mrons in liealtli buoyant in hope, and nitli every earthly prospect brightening beloro him. His death was occasioned by a severe frac ture of tho Ie;r, followed by "a svilt and fatal mortification. Tlio efforts of medical skill pud tbe watebful assiduities of friendship were all exerted in vain, and tbe lap-o of e en das-h closed the scene and compelled liim to rcsipn the promised festivities of the bridal fortheawlul stillness of the tomb. He endured Ins acute sutrerints with heroic fortitude, and met tbo appioacli of death with a desri-ee of calm resolution and fervent piety wl'.ich jhilosopl.ers may applaud, but the tbnstian alone can spel., fearninsjto his youthrul companions salutarv and impres sive example, and to bis deeply afflicted rel atives the blessed n.nunince that he was taken from a m oild of uncertainty and tor row to the bosom of bis Saviorand his God. Born on tlie 23d of Slav, A. D., 1799. Died on tno 3J ot .May, A. D., IS!. The Story of Prominent Families. Edward Muller William was given to Mm only at hi: birth and afterward at his death was engaged, as the tombstone tells us, and his fiancee was Nancy Denny. The name was an old one, even then, inPitts burg. JIiss Denny was an only daughter of Harmar Denny, and even in the short time then permitted to a girl to be in society, had become celebrated as a beauty and a belle. The wedding had been set for April 7, 1822. The thrilty young husband had taken a house and furnished it, preparatory to housing his prcttv bride. He was atten tive, as nil voung lovers should be, not only to his sweetheart but to everyone who claimed kinship with her. A few days be fore the wedding young Muller drove Miss Denny's maiden aunt, who probably had little chance lor thriving on those sorts of attentions, to Hamilton Hall, near Brad drock, the residence of Charles von Bonn hurst. The fashionable turnout in those days was a gig, in which the driver stood up'if he could pride himselt at all on his skilL On a rough road one can readily imagine tl'" danger to w hick a man driving in this manner would be exposed. Young ilnller was thrown out and his leg broken. The tombtcne tells us, though in other language, that the best doctors in Pittsburg were called in, but in vain. The things of this world were laid aside forever by Edward Muller; the maiden aunt, the indirect cause of the trouble, and the Heart broken Nancy Denny lived. The young man was laid in old Trinity, and all the country side came to the funeral. Alter a while, somebody, whose name was Harding, rime along and Miss fancy's tears were dried and her broken heart was mended. The Mullcrs and the Harding-Dennys still belong to.Pittsburg, but they are not re lated, as they would have been had Edward Muller not driven oft on that fatal day in the vear 1822.
