Communicated. - Died - At his Farm in Tuskarora Valley, Mifflin County, 
on Thursday evening last, in the 32nd year of his age, the Rev. 
Alexander M'Ilwain, Pastor of upper Tuskarora and Aughwick 
Congregations. Relying on the joyful hopes of happiness eternal and 
unchangeable, in a never-ending world, he patiently endured the hand of 
disease-calmly awaited the call of death-and finally bid adieu to all 
earthly scenes without a struggle. He has left a Wife and two infant 
Daughters, to mourn the loss of a tender and affectionate Husband and 
Parent.
 Weep for him ye poor and afflicted - he was your friend and comforter 
- Mourn his departure ye people of his charge - he was your guardian 
and instructor. Revere his memory ye good and virtuous-he was your 
brother.

Huntingdon Gazette, Thursday, March 12, 1807
