Susqueliainaa. County, i
, - ITS 037101/Ll.Si. &O. , ' l l
1
I nave long thought that the annals of Susquehne, t
to County, or at least some sketch of its early settle- 1 ,
silent and subsequent history, ought , to be written be. 1
fore all its early pioneer* most 'capable of thrall...ling
the requisite facts and incidents, are gone from among
us. It is now nearly half a century since this county ,
was organized, and considerably more than that since
the first settle:spruce:sited the then wilderness to try
the experiment of making it habitable.. Those brave
and-hardy - adventurers have - already dwindled 'away
till the remnant left is but few and far between .;
while a second, a thirdend even a fourth generation
in part are Taking their places, among vast numbers
of later endgrants ; and even nok there are many in
teresring incidents connected with its early history,
which, unless soon compiled for preset ration by some
antiquarian, must rapidly pasi into oblivion.
Whether anyone competent *Abe huh would be
likely to•find A. warrantable remuneration for the en
terprhe, may be considered as yedsomewhat doubt.
fuk .But there is one underuilung of leas magnitude,
.toNwhiciras the suggestion of some 'friends I have
'given some nttention for the of the public:
and that is, with si heiefaketek of-the organtraiion,
to compile a list of all the officers elected or appoint.. 1
ed to serve in th e variousofacial stations in and - for
the county-since tiserrgaultation. Thia may pm*
not may interesting totem- of the' present genera
tion, but really useful to preserve as smatter for con
veraieet referee* in time *inne. Many of our
-youth may here see the - names of their sires and
varnish:es. who have 611/41 honorable posts-in the
i service of the couniy, and be stininlated thereby to,
study; eerieire, and treasure up useful Information
connected with our County's histori. ' Iletides, the
names and dates may assibe materithyin deterrnhth4
various other events and incidents connected there
with, which it may-he found desizablefrons time to y '
time - ter ascertain and perpetrate.' Born 'within the
liltiits embraced by this county'', and having resided
here from infaner; with but btiet intervals of absenCe,
I am able from my own recollection to furnish much
of the requisite material* *or esib as are too early
. Or minute for my' unaided memory, I am indebted to
the records of-the public.offices, , km. If my labors
in prepiihig this sketCh 'shrill iiontrilinte anything to
the utility or interest of thiiiiitheit . iohenibr , made
a welcome offering, by the pubileislotinblee:errant,

LETTER YEW REV. Z. L. LYONS.-

Dean Paaerrat—Your letter of the 22d. of Oct.
last, enclosing notes from T. and S., and also a very
interesting . ..letter. from Ifrs. If. , giving an account el
the last Ileum and death of her departed fitther.\,,
Nached us on the 2.Bth of 'Sox-ember. Thank you.
tot. your journal and . all Its details "cencerr.Mg
home and Mends. S,otice of tho death of Eld.
ock and of Me- Sayre had previously reached .tts.
through the papers. As I read the sad announce
ment, my mind traveled llar-k ocer y..Car3 gone tiy„
and I recalled the names otmany who b9rp n proRA!

llontrose, bun et e , have, cote passed. away. \
. 1 •• C• Biddle, A. •II Read, : Esquire
Dalnsford..lndgel'ost, Deacon Tyler, audothers,
hare all died within my own recollection. They have
fallen one after another, like the columns of a. : au.
ci4t edifice, inking hene4di the weight of the.yeara
they hare borne. And now two store pillars. have
falfen..Two more :inflects are numbered:•with the
dead, For Elder Dimoek, I aWayrt cherished great
respect„ and I may sale, arindrittion. I venerated
him, not ot;lj on accrountothis acknowlerl,g4plety .
and 'Mildness of ficarkbut there 'VIA 50111C1flipg . in
his benignant countenance and placidity of manner.
that told of the !Juicy (*motive and 'rectitude of in
tention that'. dwelt Within. I shall never forget a
prayer 'that the Elder on n;!ade, neatly nineteen
'ream ago. lihink it moat have' been during the re
ligions interest that prevailed in our church during
the,winter of 1840: The prayer - occupied perhaps a
rinaiterc:t nr. hoer, and ye it.dijl not seem 80 .10ng.
It *as'ao earnest, so, eloquent, so appropriate, tand
uttered with such deep feeling, and evinced such
strong desire that Goditn Isla be glorified it the sal-
ration otiintiers, that although a mere boy as . I then ,
was, it produced an impression on my_mind , that the
lapse of years will never efface. •
Mr. Sayreinante is littlted with earliest ass*.
cCStions. His is as fandiliar to Ind now, as that
Vmy oßri fatber. Bow ninny, ninny times have I
listened to his fcrrent prayers and earnest exhorts.
Lions in the house, of God; and how many times in
the private praying circle have I been profited by
