General Notes: Husband - Sylvanus Westgate

---

His life was spent in his native state, where he held the offices of justice of the peace and postmaster. He was a highly respected citizen, just and upright in his dealings with his fellowmen, genial and courteous to all. After an epidemic of typhoid fever, about 1855, which deprived him of a son and daughter, he practically retired from all business. This affliction was followed by another, loss of sight, and the last ten years of his life were spent in total darkness.
