Excerpt from John Kitchel and Esther Peck: Their Ancestors, Descendants and Some Kindred Families He had just succeeded in getting a commodious and pleasant home near the place of worship, when about New Year's day he was seized with a fever, slow and irksome, that wasted his frame, sometimes offering a hope of recovery, then closing in disappointment. Thus for about nine weeks he lived, but amid his most severe suffering he was always happy, and rejoiced in God, his Savior. The writer often visited him in his affliction, and ever. Found him very happy, and always interested in the welfare of Zion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
