They were already happy, because seven hale and beautiful children nestled around their feet. About this time, that their happiness might know no bounds, another child was added, bearing the name of William Russell. It was the pride of its father, because it was the son of his old age and the pet of all, because it was the baby. Time sped apace doing its inherent work. Now, the children are men and women, and the parents are furrowed deep with age. One by one the former passed over the threshold to seek other land, homes and fortunes. The work given to him to do, being well and nobely done, Jacob Duckworth sleeps in Hopewell grave yard and in a few years afterward his wife by his side. Thus, the old hearthstone was deserted. The old homestead, by common consent, passed into the hand of young William. That this sacred spot should teem again with life and light and love, he wooed and won about the year 1844, the charming Frances Breazeale, and made her the mistress of his home and fortune. The old, broken down alter was reerected, re-dedicated and revived. It emitted in life, gathered new charms and spake forth new sounds. Before the shrine in a few years, bowed eleven children, confessing the Lord Jehovah. These, too, as their predecessors, soon began to pass over the old threshold until nine of the eleven seats were made vacant. The light grew less brilliant. But three years since, when the good wife and mother passed into the spirit land, the light was turned down and gloom settled over the historic home. On the 16 Inst., the light was blown out. The old heartstone was again deserted. William Russell Duckworth, the last of the preceding generation and in the very place in which his father died a half century ago, breathed his last. He entered eternity with apparently little warning, living but forty-five minutes after he was taken ill. But we have just reasons to believe that it was not altogether unexpected to him. But a week or so proceeding his death he had said that he believed he would met his wife in heaven. Some legal matters had been carefully arranged but a few weeks prior to his death and not known to have been done until afterwards. However, this may be, Mr. Duckworth was a good man and met death calmly and consiously. His funeral services were largely attended and conducted in Hopewell Church by the pastor, Rev. M. Pack.
