    NAME Ep 6 Pt 3 transcription.mp3 DATE June 13, 2020 DURATION 27m 36s 5 SPEAKERS Narrator Lauren Watrous Paul Bowen Gail in the field Jason Alden START OF TRANSCRIPT [00:00:01] Narrator Previously on The Secret Life of Death, Episode 6: Awe, part two. We discussed the evolution of gravestone art and symbology in New England at the turn of the 19th century and how it reflected the social, cultural and spiritual changes in post revolution America. After the deprivations and horrors of war, many were eager to embrace community and connection, but on their terms, with a more personal individual relationship with God. These new spiritual ideas and identities ushered in novel cultural and stylistic changes resulting, in a profusion of gravestone motif design by eighteen hundred. But as life stabilized, standardize and industrialized, so too did artistic impression in gravestone art. By 1820, most, if not all, gravestone design took the form of the willow and urn. At the end of our last show, we were still left wondering how the broken willow, soul-effigy-moon and stars motif of Relief Wilcox Town's gravestone in Halifax, Vermont, fit into all of this. While the elements of the design are not uncommon, their layout is very unique and sophisticated. So unique and sophisticated, you'd think that surely whoever carved this stone must be well known and easy to identify. Yeah, you'd think.

  • Journal of William Colbert for the Northumberland, Wyoming And
    Introduction 3 Introduction: The Man and His Journal Early Methodist Episcopal circuit rider William Colbert (1764-1833) served circuits in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and Virginia. He was admitted on trial in 1790 1 and into full connection in 1792, at which time he was also ordained a deacon. Colbert was ordained an elder in 1795. He served most of his time as a traveling minister and retired from the itinerancy in 1811. William Colbert was born near Baltimore in Poolesville MD on April 20, 1764. Historian George Peck wrote in 1860 2 that Colbert was remembered by those who heard him preach for his intolerance of noisy children, crowded barns and other unfavorable meeting conditions. He was, however, a dedicated man of God and served with distinction as a circuit rider and district superintendent (or, as it was then called, presiding elder). In November 1804 William Colbert married Elizabeth Stroud (1784- 1849), whose parents were the original founders of Stroudsburg PA. He died June 16, 1833, in Stroudsburg PA. William Colbert kept a journal of his travels – which ranks with Francis Asbury’s as one of the earliest definitive records of American Methodism and its circuits. While a three-volume edited, indexed and annotated transcription of Asbury’s journal has been published, no one has yet undertaken that task for Colbert’s journal. The original journal and a typewritten transcription are prized possessions within the special collections at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston IL. In 1957, the Library of Congress microfilmed the typewritten copy. In 1964 the Central Pennsylvania Conference purchased a microfilm copy of the journal from the LOC.

  • Benjamin Carpenter of Guilford, VT
    Benjamin Carpenter Literally written in stone, his marble epitaph boldly declares that Benjamin Carpenter, Esquire ... Sacred to the memory of the Hon. Benjamine CARPENTER, Esq. Born in Rehoboth, Mass. A.D. 1726 A magistrate in Rhode Island in 1764. A public teacher of righteousness An able--eble advocate to his last for Democracy And the equal rights of a man. Removed to this town A.D. 1770, Was a field officer in the Revolutionary War. A founder of the first constitution and government of Vermont. A councilor of censors in A.D. 1794. A member of the council, and Lieut. Governor of the state in A.D. 1779. A firm professor of Christianity in the Baptist church 50 years. Left this world and 146 persons of lineal posterity. March 29, 1804 Aged 78 years, 10 months and 12 days with a strong Mind and a full faith of a more Glorious state hereafter. Stature about six feet--weight 200 Death had no terror. But on May 11, 1725 in the Providence of Massachusetts within the boundary of Bristol County and the 58 year old town of Swansea, a young male child was born to Edward Swanzey & Elizabeth Louise (Wilson) Carpenter. This child was their first son, a fourth generation Carpenter child born in America of an English immigrant named William Carpenter who came to America in 1638. The baby was named Benjamin, the name of both his paternal and maternal grandparents, two uncles and a few first cousins. What caused this young Benjamin to stand out in history? Was it because at age 50, then a pillar of the decade old society of Guilford, New York that he became a revolutionary, a field officer in a revolution defying his King? Or was this six foot, well built man a traitor to the State of New York before, during and after the American Independence? But, one state’s traitor was another’s founding father, for in July 1777 he helps start the Vermont Republic.

  • Jonathan Carpenter and the American Revolution: the Journal of an American Naval Prisoner of War and Vermont Indian Fighter
    Jonathan Carpenter and the American Revolution: The Journal of an American Naval Prisoner of War and Vermont Indian Fighter By JOHN K. AulXANDBR ONATHAN CARPENTER, JR. was born in Rehoboth, Massachusetts in J 1757. 1 Rehoboth remained his home until 1780. After receiving "a Common Education," he "worked at [the] farming business" until he was seventeen. He was then apprenticed to his uncle, Nathaniel Car­ penter, in December 1774 to learn the joiner trade. During the early 1770's, the young Carpenter supported colonial resistance to British rule. When fighting began and his uncle formed a company of volunteer soldiers in December 1775, Carpenter said that "nothing would do but I must go." From December 1775 to Oc­ tober 1777 he was in five different volunteer companies serving for a total of about eleven months. Carpenter's discussion of his services as a soldier are very brief, but he did see action during the New York City campaign of 1776. In December 1777, after deciding to try his luck as a privateersman, he joined the crew of the Reprisal. His luck was none too good; the Reprisal was captured in February 1778. For the next year and a half Carpenter was a British captive. In July 1779 he was exchanged to France where he entered on board the privateer, General Mifiin. His cruise home was highly profitable; he received at least £150 in prize money. Arriving in Boston in November 1779, Carpenter soon decided "to travil to the Northward County to [Vermont to] Seek my fortune." Carpenter had to fight more than the wilderness to find his "fortune." During the last half of 1780, he and many of his fellow Ver­ monters had to battle Indians led by Tories.

  • A List of Revolutionary Soldiers and Sail- Ors
    A LIST OF REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS AND SAIL­ ORS WHOSE GRAVES HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED BY THE MARKER OF THE SOCIETY. PREPARED BY HENRY A. MAY. THE marker of the Society, which has been fully described and figured in previous Registers, has been placed at the graves of 4,517 soldiers and sailors of the War of the Revolution. About 3,815 graves have been marked in 115 cities and towns of our own State, 693 in other States of the Union, and 9 in foreign countries. It is made either of iron or bronze, at a very moderate price, and can be procured from the maker on an order furnished by the Registrar. The origin and history of the markers is well expressed in the following extracts, made from the speech of Captain Nathan Appleton, one of the Vice-Presidents of our Society, on the occa­ sion of the celebration of the " Children of the American Revolu­ tion" at the Old South Meeting-house, July 4, 1895 : — " It [the design] is taken from the cross of Saint Louis, with some changes; and nothing could be more appropriate, as you will remember that it was during the reign of Louis XVI. of France, who was Grand Master of the Order, that Lafayette and the other Frenchmen of the army and navy came to the struggling colonies, and gave us the assistance we so much needed at the time. " In the centre of the cross is the ' Minute-man,' a copy of the statue, by Daniel C. French, which stands by the Concord Bridge, where was ' fired the shot heard round the world' on April 19, 1775.
