The following obituary notice is from the Danbury Recorder: 'But few are laid in the last resting-place of the body of a more peaceable life or possessed of a more practical philanthropy. Of an unaffected familiar manner and unchanging good humor, his cheerful countenance, welcome salutation, and kind inquiries rendered his society pleasant and imparted a good and salutary influence in his intercourse with others. He was one of that venerable class of men whose peculiar simplicity of manners and honesty of purpose are rare characteristics, and are needed as healthy examples to counteract the selfish- ness and insinceritv which harm the characters of young men now coming upon the stage of life. He was for thirty years a member of the Congrega- tional Church in this village."' — Mygatt Genealogy. CHILDREN. (Fifth Generation.) 472. 1. William Judson, b. Jan. 19, 1S06; d.
