71 " If there ever was a good man, 1 think Mr. Cogswell was one." The follow- '' ing appeared in a. Boston paper of that date : He was a valuable member of society, and his loss is deeply regretted by many who have tasted of and experienced the substantial benefits of his beneficence. He was a faithful and interesting companion, and an honest man." fttrmoranHa. Dr.Stoiu; who married Mary Cog^well [251], removed to Georgia, where he died in 1849, 2' tli^ '^BS of seventy-two years.
