His death was caused by pneumonia. Thru misinformation his illness was noted as being due to a stroke in yesterday's paper, but it was pneumonia which caused his death. He contracted a cold about a week ago and developed that dread disease and despite the strenuous efforts on the part of his physician he expired last evening. His death came as a great blow to his many friends and acquaintances for not until yesterday did it become generally known that he was dangerously ill.

8824	Upon arriving in America, he became a member of the New Garden Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends (Quakers) located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. On April 19, 1733 he married Ann Miller, daughter of James and Katharine Lightfoot Miller at the New Garden Meeting. The Millers had also emigrated to America from Ireland although their roots were in England. In 1735 William and Ann Farquhar removed to Pipe Creek, then Prince George's County, Maryland taking a certificate from the New Garden Monthly Meeting to Hopewell Monthly Meeting in Virginia and settled on land left him under his father's will, "...provided he would move from Pennsylvania to Maryland and occupy same." This land was located near the present town of Union Bridge. It is said that William was a tailor and made buckskin breeches which he sold at Annapolis, and with the proceeds bought more land. In 1760 he owned 2,000 acres. When the Fairfax Monthly Meeting in Virginia was established his membership at the Hopewell Meeting was transferred there. He established the Pipe Creek Monthly Meeting in 1759 and its first meetings were held in his home. The minutes of the Pipe Creek Monthly Meeting contain the following testimony from Ann Miller Farquhar, following the death of her husband: "He was born in Ireland the 29th of the seventh month 1705, and came to America about the sixteenth year of his age and settled in Pennsylvania, where he was convinced of the truth, and married among Friends. In the year 1735, he removed and settled at Pipe Creek, when there were very few inhabitants in those parts. Some years afterward he was concerned that a meeting might be settled which was allowed to be held at his house at times for several years; when the number of friends increasing, they concluded to build a meeting house which our said friend zealously promoted. His house was much resorted to by travelling friends and others, both in that early period and since, to whom he was courteous and kind. Some years after the settlement of a monthly meeting at Fairfax of which he was a member, he was appointed to the station of an elder, which he filled with propriety and reputation; being an example of plainness, and anxiously careful for the education of his children. He was, at times, concern'd in meetings to exhort friends to keep the testimony of truth, and particularly the youth, for which he seemed zealously concerned, that as they grew in years they might grow in grace. For some months before his decease, he was in a weak state of body, yet frequently attended meetings, and the last time of his being there was about four days before he died; the night following being in much pain, he several times cried out, `O Father! mitigate my pain if it be Thy will;' and was favored to keep in the patience and resignation, waiting for his change. The day before he died, his wife leaning over him mourning; he said to her, `Weep not for me, but for thyself and others. The Lord is near.' He departed this life, the 21st of the ninth month 1778, and was buried in the family burying-ground on the 23rd of the same month; aged near seventy-three years. P. S. I am willing to communicate a few hints of what has often passed through my mind concerning my dear husband, whose memory, to me, remains precious. He was much concerned for the welfare of the young and rising generation, often cautioning and exhorting friends in their several stations, strictly to examine the great duty and charge committed to their trust; and in a particular manner, his offspring, that they would mutually live and love with each other, and that they might be careful to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ann Farquhar A Testimony" Sources: The Testimony is from the minutes of the Pipe Creek Monthly Meeting, Union Bridge, Maryland. Other sources are THE SHARPLESS FAMILY by Gilbert Cope, 1887 and IMMIGRATION OF THE IRISH QUAKERS INTO PENNSYLVANIA 1682-1750 by Albert Cook Myers. The Fairfax Monthly Meeting minutes confirm that William and Ann Farquhar "removed to Pipe Creek, Frederick Co., Maryland, taking a certificate from New Garden MM, Pa. to Hopewell MM, Va." in 1735. The Hopewell Monthly Meeting minutes state: "Farquer 1736, 5, 31 William & wife Ann granted certificate to Hopewell MM, Virginia by New Garden MM, Pennsylvania settled near Monocacy."

8841	Washington Burrell, who now resides in Grove township, relates a story that amply illustrates some of the difficulties the pioneers were called upon to encounter, although in this instance the hardship was not so very great. Almost any full grown, healthy man would have been happy under at least a portion of Mr. Burrell's ill luck. He was then living at Hayden Grove, in Holt township. One evening he concluded that a wooing he would go. His dulcinea welcomed him most royally, and a most happy evening was passed. But just before the "wee sma' hours" set in, when a fellow has got no business to be up with his girl, a cloud blacker than Egyptian darkness covered the land, and wind, rain, thunder and lightning made a pandemonium of the outside world. In going to the home of his inamorata Mr. Burrell had been obliged to cross the One Hundred and two River on a "foot log". This was a very easy thing to do in droughty times, but if there should be a rise in the stream of a foot or more, the log would be under water, and passage exceedingly dangerous and difficult in such pitchy darkness. So there was no getting home that night, and he and his sweetheart "sparked" on until day dawned. He then set his face homeward. Arriving at the river he found it bank full, and his log several feet under water, even if it had not been washed away. Dutifully he returned to his lady love, for there was no other alternative. And, parenthetically, this historian would remark that it must have hurt Washington's feelings amazingly. We've been there ourself, or, at least had we been Mr. Washington Burrell, this little picture illustrates the course we should have taken. He did nothing of the kind. He disrobed, to use a polite figure of speech, and tying his clothing into a neat bundle, the pantaloons of which contained some sixty dollars in gold, he undertook to breast the angry stream with his bundle hanging to his teeth. The bundle proved to be so much of an obstruction upon reaching the rapid current in the middle of the stream that either he or the package must go to the bottom. Washington loved his life, and he didn't want to break his girl's heart. So he let the gold and the unmentionable's of a man's toilet go, and he pulled to shore safely. When he got there he was just as clean as Adam ever was in the Garden of Eden, and he had just as many garments on, barring the fig-leaf. But he was equal to the emergency. At a pace that would make Maude S. open her eyes, he started for Uncle Jesse Lair's where boys were numerous. Uncle Jesse didn't believe in girls, and there were none about the premises. Arriving within hailing distance Washington got behind a stump, and yelled lustily for the boys, who finally came to his relief with the necessary apparel. Mr. Burrell never found his bundle, but he says that within a few years he has learned that some laborers, while excavating for the foundation of a bridge near the scene of his loss, found a package of man's - well such articles as a man wears. It confused the laborers very much, for to their excited imaginations it meant that a foul murder had been committed. Thus much for the bundle. The gold was never heard of by Mr. Burrell, who oughtn't to have gone "sparking" at all, in those early days. He should have waited till now, when the One Hundred and Two and all the streams of the county are bridged at stated distances, and by structures that defy the elements that cost him his gold and clothing. In this at least, in its bridges, Taylor county can claim preeminence. In its roads too, and Grove township especially. BURRELL, WASHINGTON, farmer and stock-raiser, post-office Lenox. Among the many old settlers of this county our subject is worthy of mention. He was born in 1836 and is a native of the Buckeye State. While but a child his parents died, and at the age of six he left the person with whom his guardian had placed him, and after a series of wanderings became a "tow path" boy on the Wabash Canal, which business he followed four years. He then came west and engaged in mining until the breaking out of the rebellion, when he enlisted at Buckskin Joe, Colorado, in the First Colorado cavalry and served three years and three months. His service was mainly in Colorado, New Mexico and Kansas. After his discharge from that regiment he reenlisted in the Ninth United States veteran volunteers, with Hancock's veteran reserve corps, served one year and was discharged. He then came to Taylor county and was married to Miss Loretta Baker, daughter of one of Taylor county's first settlers. Came to Grove township in 1873 and bought the farm on which he now resides. It consists of eighty acres of well improved land, with all the conveniences necessary to a pleasant home. His family consists of five children: Richard, Morning Ann, Mary E., Elihu and Dora. Two are deceased: John and Andrew.	BURRELL, George Washington (I5588)
