Cassel, at Harleysville, Montgomery county, Pa. : — As regards the character of Alexander Mack, Jr., he is represented as a sin cere, good man, much given to retirement ; by occupation a stocking weaver; and as his worldly possessions were but small, so his wants were but few, which made his contentment equally complete. In his public preaching it is said he did not manifest much oratory, but with the pen he was very ready and fluent. He had a particular talent for poetry, as many hundred of his verses and poetic stanzas still exist. He possessed a remarkable degree of sagacity and discernment, so that no art could ensnare him or hypocrisy beguile him. He died on the 20th of March, 1803, at the advanced age of ninety-one years, one month and 20 days. His last words were : " Num reisz ich gegen Morgen, wer mit will der mach sich eilends fertig." Although he was as well yet as usual, he had a strange presentiment of his dissolution being near. He therefore composed the following epitaph for his grave-stone, which he brought to his daughter, Anna Fox, telling her that his departure was at hand now, and that this was his last visit to her, as it proved to be. The epitaph may yet be seen on his tomb-stone in the Brethren's grave-yard, in Germantown, in the following words : Golt ! der uns liat aus staub gemacht, Und wiederum — zu staub gebiaclit, Wird zeui;en seiner weisheit-machl, Wann wir nach beinem bild erwacht." Alexander Mack, Sr., was born in Schriesheim, in der Cur Pfaltz, in the year 1679; his wife was a Miss Kingin ; came to America, where he died in 1735, and is buried in the Axes or Concord grave-yard, Germantown. He had three sons and two daughters. Both daughters died young. The sons were Valentine, Johannes and Alexander, Jr. He was born in 17 12, at Swartzenau, in Witgensteinland, and came with his father to America, as above stated, in 1729. In 1749 he married Elizabeth Nise, daughter of William Nise, of Germantown, in the thirty-seventh year of his age. He was called to the ministry on the first day of June, 1748, and on the tenth day of June, 1753, he was advanced to the office of elder or bishop by the imposition of hands, at which time the care of the church at Germantown was publicly laid upon him. He had two sons and five daughters. The sons were William and Alexander. The latter died young, but William left a family of sons and daughters. The daughters of Alexander, Jr., were, Sarah Margaretta ; she married Jacob Ziegler, Hannah married Adam Weaver, Lydia married Dillman Kolb, of Skippack, and afterwards married again to Jacob Lentz, a baker, of Philadelphia ; Elizabeth died young ; Anna Margaretta was married to Emanuel Fox, the son of the eminent Justus Fox, and the father of the elder or bishop, John Fox, of Philadelphia, who have left him a great number of grand and great-grand children, who are now dispersed through the different states of the Union.
