Masons and Odd Fellows, he being a member of those societies. A local
paper said: " An immense concourse of people from Cooperstown and
vicinity, together with the orders, formed the largest funeral procession,
perhaps, that has ever been seen in this county. The sorrow which
shadowed every countenance, and the deep solemnity which characterized
all the proceedings, spoke more eloquently than words, that it was no
formal, empty pageant; but a sincere, heartfelt testimonial of grief for the
loss of a worthy brother, respected citizen, kind neighbor and beloved
friend." She was living at Cooperstown in March 1874, having moved
there from Troy, in 1819.

of Dea. Jabez and Mary (Lanman) Huntington. She had been engaged
in missionary work for some years before her marriage; and two months
after their union they embarked for Malta, on their way to Syria; and
reached Beirut, their field of labor, 28 Jan. 1834. In June 1836, her health
having failed, they went to Smyrna, and were wrecked on the way; and
six days of exposure so aggravated her illness that recovery was impossible.
She was removed to Boojah, a village about five miles from Smyrna, 7
Aug. 1836; and there died, 30 Sept. 1836. She was buried in a quiet
place at Boojah, and a suitable monument was erected. 1 He married (2d),

at Rochester, N. Y., 9 March 1841, Maria Ward Chapin, born there 31
May 1819, dau. of Hon. Moses and Esther Maria (Ward) Chapin. 1 She
went with him to Beirut, as a missionary of the A. B. C. F. M., where she
died, 27 May 1842, and was buried in the Mission Cemetery. He was
married (3d), at Northampton, Mass., by Rev. E, P. Rogers, D. D., 23 Oct.
1846, to Hetty Simpkins Butler, born at Northampton, 15 Sept. 1816,
dau. of Daniel and Elizabeth (Simpkins) Butler. He then returned to
Beirut, where he continued his labors until his death, n Jan. 1857. He
was buried in the Mission Cemetery at that place. His widow, who
was living at East Windsor Hill, Conn., in 1868, said of him: " M y
dear husband's record there is a long stoiy of earnest, faithful work-
ing for his Master; and when called to leave this work, his mental
powers seemed to me in their prime. His mind and habits of study
were peculiarly fitted for translating; and our Arabic Bible is his
monument."
The following editorial notice of his death appeared in The New York
Observer, for 26 Feb. 1857:
" The church and the world are called to mourn together over the loss
of one of the men of the age, a minister, a missionary, a philanthropist, a
scholar—one whose learning, talents, piety and heroism have placed him
in the front rank of modern benefactors of their fellow-men, and whose
works will remain a monument to his memory, and a blessing to the
human race. The Rev. Eli Smith, D. D., died at Beirut, Syria, Jan. n t h ,
1857.
" He was born in Northford, Conn., Sept. 13, 1801; graduated at Yale
College in 1821, and at Andover Theological Seminary in 1826. He
entered at once into the service of the American Board, and embarked at
Boston, May 23, and arrived at Malta, July 13, 1826. He visited Egypt
and Syria in the Winter of the same year, Greece in 1829, and in company
with Rev. H. G. O. Dwight, made a great exploring tour in Armenia in
1830 and 1831. He visited the United States in 1832, and in 1833
returned to Syria, In 1836-7, we find him in Turkey and Asia Minor;
and in 1837-8, with our countryman, Dr. Robinson, performing
their great journey in the Desert and Palestine. Soon afterward he
visited the United States again; and from 1840 onward, with little
interruption except a briefer tour with Dr. Robinson over parts of the
Holy Land, he has been intently laboring in his translation of the Holy
Scriptures.
" For more than a quarter of a century, his name has been identified
with the operations of the American Board of Foreign Missions in the
Levant; and his repeated visits to this country, rendered necessary by the
state of his health, or by the exigencies of the cause, have made him the
personal acquaintance and friend of thousands who love the missionary

cause; so that it may truly be said of him that no one of the corps of
missionaries in the foreign field was better known, or more endeared to
the American churches, than he.
" His tone of mind, his habits of thought and research, his extensive
travel and intimate familiarity with the manners, customs, languages and
ideas of the East, combined to fit him eminently for the work to which he
was specially devoted during the latter years of his life, the translation of
the Holy Scriptures into the Arabic tongue. This was the labor of his
heart, as well as of his mind and hands. Three years ago, he welcomed
us to his house in Syria, and led us into his study, where his years of
manly vigour were fast wearing into untimely age in the laborious prose-
cution of the translation. On his table were spread out the great Arabic
dictionaries, and other helps which he had gathered with much expense
and toil—some of them never having been printed, and therefore occupy-
ing almost countless pages of manuscript, through which he must chase
the words of Ploly Writ to find the symbols of the idea in the Arabic
mind. Here was the huge dictionary of Feirnzabadeh, and the Tcshil,
Jbmalih Grammar, with the Commentary of Ashmuny. Near him was
the Pentateuch, in a very ancient Arabic translation, from the Medicean
press at Rome in 1591, a work of great value in rendering other parts of
Scripture into that language, and to which Dr. Smith was constantly
referring. The windows of his study looked out upon the missionary
burying-ground, and the grave of Pliny Fisk, the first American missionary
to the Holy Land; and as he stood there, and spoke of the death of former
laborers in that field, Dr. Smith said with great simplicity, and yet with
deep sadness in his tones, that he hoped his life would be spared until he
had completed the translation on which he was engaged. His health was
then feeble, and it became more delicate after he left Syria. By the advice
of his brethren, he made a journey northward, visiting other parts of the
Eastern field, and returned with somewhat recruited strength to his post
and work. But his work was nearly done. So, day after day and month
after month, when exhausted strength required that he should rest from
his labors in the bosom of his family and friends, did Eli Smith make his
weary way to his study, and add a few more lines to that immortal work;
which, though left unfinished, is to remain as the monument of his useful-
ness and to perpetuate the name of the author among the Arab races of
the East.
" He had completed the New Testament, the Pentateuch, and some of
the Prophets. A part of the New Testament has been printed, and the
books of Genesis and Exodus.
" It was to be expected that the end of such a life as Eli Smith's would
be peace. Gentle in his spirit, calm, scholarly and chaste in his mental
exercises, with all his faculties attuned by the soothing influences of
scholastic retirement and the hallowed charms of domestic affection, and
chastened sorely in the school of affliction; having voluntarily put away
688 Seventh Generation.
from him the tempting lures of ambition which his fame and learning held
forth—for he might have held any high place among the scholars of the
times, to which he aspired—and having consecrated himself to the single
work of preaching the gospel in the Arabic tongue, and leaving that gospel
in that language for those who should come after him, he was willing, nay,
desirous, to live till he should complete the labor of his hands—but if other-
wise ordered, he was equally willing to die. ' For me to live is Christ's,
but to die is gain.' And so he died. His mind was full of peace. He
saw the approach of the angel of death, but had no fears. Christ was with
him and strengthened him in the hours of dissolving nature, and gave him
a sweet release.
" We shall attempt no analysis or outline of the character of Dr. Smith.
As the companion of Dr. Robinson in his successive journeys of exploration
in the Holy Land, he has made most important contributions to the litera-
ture, geography and topography of Palestine; and Dr. R., in his preface,
bears the fullest and highest testimony to Dr. Smith's learning and ability
as constantly brought to bear upon the researches which have made their
joint work the most important treasury of knowledge respecting the land
of the Bible that has been produced in any country or age. As a preacher,
a missionary and Christian, he was modest, humble and persevering, never
obtruding himself, but always promoting his Master's work. As an
Oriental scholar, he had few, if any, superiors. His attainments made his
correspondence sought by men of eminence in many lands, but his mind
was never diverted from the labor of his life, in which it pleased God to
permit him to die.
" Thus one after another of our great and good men, our beloved and
honored missionaries, are passing away. Let us be followers of them who
through faith and patience have inherited the promise."

reproduction in future musical collections.
" A s a business man, Mr. Whitney was never really fortunate, and at the
time of his death we regret to say his affairs were far from being in a pros-
perous condition. He leaves a young wife, and, if we mistake not, a son
and two or three daughters. His second son, a soldier of one of our regi-
ments of regulars, was killed on the bloody field of Gettysburg, just four
years ago."
From another paper, printed in Detroit about the same date, we learn
that " he held the position of postmaster at Canandaigua, under President
Tyler."
" Mr. Whitney was an Episcopalian, and was organist and a member of
the vestry of St. Paul's Church for the last ten years of his first residence
in Detroit."
" Politically and socially, Mr. Whitney was a man of moderate and liberal
views, and during the later political revulsions has classed himself as a conser-
vative, not having attached himself to either party. Although naturally
industrious, his generosity and warm-heartedness stood in the way of his
accumulating property. He continued his active editorial labors up to
about a week ago, although suffering for a long time previous from failing
health. His demise, however, was sudden and unexpected, and the fact
shows how far a naturally robust constitution may become exhausted and
destroyed by mental labor before the impending crisis gives warning of its
approach. Mr. Whitney had been for some time engaged in preparing
matter designed to compose the initial number of a work to be entitled the
Michigan Quarterly Register."
" His funeral was attended at St. Paul's Church yesterday afternoon, and
his remains taken thence to Canandaigua."
