Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tribute to the Memory of John B. Skinner: Containing a Brief Account of His Last Illness, Death, and Funeral Obsequies John B. Skinner was born at Williamstown, Mass., July 23, 1799, and died at his residence in Buffalo, June 6, 1871. Although he had lived more than three-score and ten years, he felt none of the infirmities of age until within a few months of his last illness. Early in the Spring of 1871 he seemed conscious of increasing debility. His step was less quick and elastic, and the long walks to which he had ever been accustomed were gradually shortened. The last Sabbath in April he attended church as usual, and on Wednesday dined with his family, at the house of his brother-in-law; but the next morning was unable to rise. Drs. Rochester and White were called at once to his bedside, but found symptoms of prostration so alarming that they entertained little hope of his recovery. At times he seemed better, and during the latter part of May was able to drive out nearly every day for a week. On Friday, June 2, he was much worse, and from that time declined rapidly. Monday night his sleep was quiet and restful, and so continued the following day until evening, when he gently breathed his life away.
