| Heckenwelder, John | "We have to announce the death of the pious, learned and venerable John Heckewelder of Bethlehem. He died on Friday the 31st of January, at 6 o'clock in the morning, at the advanced age of seventy nine years. Had he lived until next month, he would have attained the age of eighty. The Rev. John Heckewelder, having spent the greater part of his life among the Indian nations, was little known in this country, until our lamented Dr. Wistar, who was an excellent judge of merit, persuaded him to communicate to the world the immense fund of information he possessed respecting the history, manners and customs of the aborigines of our land. Wistar did nto live to see that work published, which has placed Heckewelder among the most interesting writers that his country had produced, but by means of its publication, its author became more generally known, and endeared himself to all who had the happiness of his acquaintance, not only by the knowledge that he possessed, and which he freely communicated to all who were desirous of it, but by all those excellent qualities of the heart which command love, esteem, veneration and respect. His religion was solid, his piety sincere, his modesty unassumed, and his benevolence unbounded. His loss will be felt and regretted by the country at large, whose literary fame he largely contributed to extend; but to those who were admitted to the intimacy of his friendship, and to that religious society of which he was the ornament and the pride, that loss is a misfortune which no words can sufficiently express. We understand that Mr. Heckewelder has left some posthumous works, which will be published in due time. - Columbian Observer.
