DEATHS
MOUNTZ----At the residence of his son in law Elisha Vankirk, in Franklin Township on the 21st Aug., Wm Mountz in the 93rd year of his age.
The subject of the above notice, at the time of his decease was perhaps the oldest native citizen of Washington County. His father emigrated from Maryland during the Revolutionary war, and settled near the place where the deceased was born in 1780, on the farm east of town, now owned by D. T. Morgan ESQ. He was a lad of some 13 years when the army came to this place to suppress the memorable Whiskey Insurrection and sold buckwheat cakes at sixpence a piece to the soldiers while they were encamped near the town. He retained a distinct recollection of the time when there were but two shingle roofed houses in the place. He helped to clear the native forest off the College Campus and indeed a good portion of the ground now occupied by the eastern portion of the town. He was an honest, industrious man and at the close of a long life took his departure from earth leaving not an enemy behind. {Ed. Ref.}
