  	Died, Friday, 18th of July, 1828, Mr. Solomon Huff, aged 77 years. He was born in the State of New York. In 1788 he moved from the United States to this Province, and settled on Hay Bay. He was the first person in the wilds of Fredericksburgh and Adolphustown, that devoted the Lord's day to religious purposes. On Sunday morning he would call in his neighbors and sing and pray with them. He was appointed a Methodist class leader at an early day and remained such as long as he was able to get to the house of worship, in which situation he was useful and much esteemed. A few moments before the breath left his body, he raised both hands, and clasping them together, with his eyes lifted towards heaven, and a cheerful countenance, delivered up his spirit to that God which gave it. Children were four sons and five daughters, William, Peter, Richard and Solomon Jr. ; the daughters, Catharine, Mrs. Peter Maybee, Elizabeth, Mrs. William Wright, Jane, Mrs. Henry Hoover, Sarah, Mrs. Jacob Dulmage and Mary, Mrs. Henry Vandusen
