“Just as our paper is going to press, we have received intelligence of the death of this venerable and devoted friend and advocate of the enslaved of our land — the first President of the New England (now the Massachusetts) Anti-Slavery Society, and the first to enter the lecturing field in their behalf. He died at Engleswood, Perth Amboy, N.J., on Monday last, after a short but severe illness, at the ripe age of 77. We shall take another opportunity to pay a suitable tribute to his memory. ” (Liberator, March13, 1859, pg 2)
