27 monument, his remains were at the same time lying unhonored and unmarked under some church or in some vault in Albany, " and none so poor to do him reverence." The supposition is repugnant to the mind of every reasona- ble person. The filial duty of the two brothers, who were but a short time afterwards in America, the loving tenderness of the colonies, would gladly have conveyed the remains to his ancestral home if they had rested where they could have been found. But the grave on the oak k...noll, a strange resting place for England's hero, failed to disclose its secret until 130 years thereafter and then the chance blow of a workman's pick told the long forgotten story. It was a sad death ; a young hero in the fond anticipation of coming glory cut off within sight of his crown. It was a sad and lonely grave amid the dense shades of a vast wilder- ness, far away from kindred and home, but it is all the more sad to know that in view of the so-called traditional claims presented by Albany newspaper writers and imaginative his- torians, the remains cannot even now have suitable burial amid the scenes of his old home.
