He died at the age of sixty-six, in the prime of life and in the midst of his labors, leaving to a very numerous posterity the valuable legacy of his bright example and many prayers. We now return briefly to his early friend and neigh- bor, Logan, one of the noblest characters of Indian his- tory, celebrated both in peace and war for eloquence and valor; first as the friend, and after the abuse of friendship, as the foe of the whites. Logan was the son of Shickeleshinny, a Mingo chief, whose ab...ode was on the east branch of the Susquehanna, where his name is perpetuated in that of the Shickeleshinny railway station, a few miles west of Wilkesbarre. This was the birth-place of Logan. His father named him in honor of his friend. Governor Logan, of Philadelphia, His father also being a convert and friend of the Moravian missionaries, Logan probably enjoyed some early Chris- tian instruction. It is doubtless owing to these circum- stances of his birth and early life that, as chief and warrior during the French and Indian war, he employed his eloquence and influence to shield the white settle- ments from their savage foes.
