(OUT OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER)
ANOTHER HERO GONE! At his residence in Catlin,
April 16, 1849, Mr. Reuben Barbour, aged 99 years. The subject
of the above obituary was one of the earliest settlers
in this part of the State; and probably no man in his sphere was
more extensively known, than was Dr. Barbour. Strict integrity, and uprightness
of principal have ever been accorded to him; and few of the heroes of
our glorious Revolution, ever witnessed more of the stirring scenes of
that trying period. He was among the first to espouse the cause of Liberty,
and being of undaunted courage, and having an herculean frame, he
was often brought into trying circumstances. At the storming
of Stony Point under Gen. Wayne, he acted a most conspicuous part. From
his intimate acquaintance with Indian character, he was particularly serviceable
in all the encounters with that wily foe At the battle of Oriskany,
when the Indians under the celebrated warrior Brandt, Dr. Barbour, Revolutionary
Hero Gone. were completely overpowered by the Americans under General Herkimer,
he was of most signal benefit to his commander. Indeed, it would
require an extreme,
extensive biography to recount aU his encounters with
the Indians. He was also at the Battle of Fort Stanwix under Col.
Van Scoit. Thus are the heroes of the Revolution fast dwindling away.
