David Chamberlain, son of Sim(e)on & Elizabeth (Dodge) Chamberlain, was born c1775, prob. Winchester, Cheshire Co., NH, and died after 1850, prob. Angelica, Allegany Co., NY. He had 10 children, including Moses Van Campen Chamberlain, by his wife Mary/Polly Kinney, whom he m. c1801, prob. in Ontario (now Allegany) Co., NY. She was born c1784, the only child of Thomas & Tryphena (Tibbetts) Kinney. Ref. Chamberlain Chain, Vol. 27, April 2000, Branch 147, pp. 2-6, submitted by Pamela Brewer Burns of Shavertown, PA. Contact the Editor/Publisher, Carolyn Weidner [Email: weidnerc@worldnet.att.net ], to obtain a copy. This is a detailed lineage, complete with sources and biographical sketch for this David(5) Chamberlain, LN812 in the lineages of the genealogist David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr., whose data are used to prepare this lineage. Data included in this sketch indicate that Tryphena Tibbets was, after the death of her husband Thomas Kinney, married 6 Nov 1786, as the first of three wives of Benjamin Chamberlain, Sr., David's elder brother. Mary/Polly was also, in various records, incorrectly called Tibbetts, as discussed in this biographical sketch, when, in fact, this was her mother's maiden name, as shown above.
According to Turner's History of the Holland Purchase, the first contracts for land in Belfast were issued in 1804 to Benjamin Chamberlain, Calvin T. Chamberlain, Jedediah Nobles, Elisha Chamberlain, William Pinkerton, Marvin Harding, Isaac Sanford and Abraham D. Hendern. It is probable that some of these men made their advent in the town at an earlier date, as it is stated in French's Gazetteer of the State of New York that "the first settlement was made on Genesee river, in 1803, by Benjamin, Elisha, Calvin and David Chamberlain, brothers, from Pennsylvania. It is not likely that all those mentioned above as having taken contracts for land in 1804 remained in the town for the protracted period; but some of them were residents during the remainder of their lives, and their children and grandchildren are in the enjoyment of the fruits of their toil. Among these are the descendants of some of the Chamberlains. Elisha Chamberlain had a son named Henry who married Hannah Reynolds the daughter of another early settler.
Benjamin CHAMBERLAIN came from Little Valley in 1816, and built a mill and resided for some time on Lot 9, about a mile above the mouth of Great Valley Creek. He moved to Peth a year or two later and built a house and a store, and bought a grist-and sawmill of J. And L. WOOSTER, on the west side fo the creek. He either owned, or had an interest in, several mills and stores, and became the owner of a large amount of landed property. The father of Judge CHAMBERLAIN and four or five brothers also settled in town. Their names were john, David, Simon, and William. The last named is still living on Wright's Creek. Gen. Calvin T. CHAMBERLAIN of Cuba, was also a brother of the Judge. He died in 1878. Jeremy, Henry, and Lewis WOOSTER came with the pioneers of 1816. David GREGORY, John ALEXANDER, Daniel FARRINGTON. Col. William BAKER was an early settler at the mouth of Great Valley Creek, where he built a house and kept an inn on the east side of the creek. A part of the house is still standing, it being now over sixty years old, and is occupied as a dwelling. It is owned by J.H. MELHUISH. That tavern was a much-frequented stopping place in pioneer times, especially for raftsmen. Marcus LEONARD kept an inn on the west side of the creek, beginning a few years later than Col. Baker. David FARNHAM, who was an early pioneer, settled near Peth about 1816. He died in 1878 at the age of eighty-five years. Among other early settlers in town were Arza SEARL, David SIMMONS, John SAWYER, Truman and Erasmus D. KELSEY, D. MARKHAM, Chas. WARD, F. BRYANT, John ELLIS, Isaac LAWTON, J. MUDGETT, Elmore SEARS, John ALEXANDER, N. and M. CHASE, J. and R. CHASE, Benjamin B. BACON, William BARKER, Robert PATTERSON, Parley CARVER, G.W. DRAKE, N. BONESTEEL, N.L. and M. GIBSON, and Michael HICKEY. The father of Benjamin CHAMBERLAIN was called Benjamin CHAMBERS. This was because, as a soldier of the Revolution, he served under the name of CHAMBERS. He was a pensioner until his death in 1855, aged ninety-four years. Other early settlers were Nicholas FLINT, Daniel MC KAY, B. HIBBARD, Moses CHASE, Reuben and Robert CHASE; and many of those early settlers had sons, who also soon took an active part in the business affairs of the town.
Among men of distinction, who in their early days were residents of Great Valley and who are still living, are Hon. Chauncey J. FOX of Ellicottville; Hon. Alonzo HAWLEY of Hinsdale, whose first wife was the only child of Judge CHAMBERLAIN; Hon. Nelson I. NORTON, of Hinsdale, member of Congress; Hon. Wesley FLINT of Washington, D.C., late consul to China; and Hon. A.A. GREGORY, now of Michigan, formerly a member of Assembly, and for many years sheriff of Cattaraugus County.

The second, the Wooster Mill, built by B. CHAMBERLAIN near the present residence of H.D. DIDCOCK, in about 1816.
Fifth, the grist and sawmill at Peth, built by Jeremy and Lewis WOOSTER in 1815, and sold to Judge CHAMBERLAIN on the west side of the creek. Later, DUNN and MORTON built a sawmill on the east side of the stream and used the water from the same dam.
Ninth, a sawmill on the east side of the creek, just below the town line, built some years later than the Ellis Mill, by COLBY, CHAMBERLAIN and BROTHERS.
About 1820, Richard WRIGHT built a sawmill on the stream which takes its name from him and after using the same for four or five years, he sold out to David CHAMBERLAIN, who after residing there twenty years, sold his establishment to William J. NELSON, who occupied the same until his death, in 1862.
No records of the town meetings prior to 1841 are to be found in the town clerk's office, the old book of town records having been lost or destroyed. Henry WOOSTER is believed to have been the first supervisor in 1819, when the town comprised Great Valley, Carrolton, Allegany, and Humphrey. Other early supervisors were Francis GREEN, Richard WRIGHT, B. CHAMBERLAIN, Charles WARD, and Seth COLE
.Among those who held the office of justice of the peace in town previous to 1841 were Daniel FARRINGTON, Richard WRIGHT, Stephen S. COLE, Ira NORTON, Daniel HOWE, Francis GREEN, B. CHAMBERLAIN, and John MUDGETT.

In 1830, Benjamin CHAMBERLAIN was postmaster at Peth. After him, in 1833, Francis GREEN was postmaster. The accrued postage amounted to $22.82. The next postmaster was Ira NORTON in 1842, and for several years, and Andrus L. NORTON was the next postmaster. In 1870, Frederick CRAMER was postmaster, and soon after the post office was changed from Peth to the Plank Road House, and M.W. HICKS appointed postmaster. In 1876, measures were taken to re-establish a post office at Peth. It was to be called Great Valley Centre. George E. HOWLAND was appointed postmaster, but the project failed to be carried out.
The small village of Peth is situated on the Great Valley Creek, three miles from the river. It has a tavern, a grocery store, school house, blacksmith shop, a shingle mill, and several dwelling houses. The handle factory was burned September, 1878. At an early period after the first settlement of Great Valley, the village of Peth was an important point, being the central business place for a large lumber district for a period of about forty years. Here centered the business operations of the WOOSTERS, the GREENS, the CHAMBERLAINS, the GIBSONS, the HOWES, the KELSEYS, the MARKHAMS, and other active early settlers and their sons. About 1845, a dozen or more Scotch families settled at Peth and its vicinity. James NELSON owns and occupies the farm and large dwelling house formerly occupied by Judge CHAMBERLAIN. With the decline of the lumber business some of the settlers left, and the population of Peth also declined.
At Peth, Lewis WOOSTER was the first storekeeper. He sold the store to Judge CHAMBERLAIN in 1821. It was kept by the Judge for many years, with a large stock of merchandise. William J. NELSON kept store there in 1848, and for several years.
On the 4th day of November 1831, a Baptist Church was organized in Great Valley by a meeting held for the purpose at the house of Charles WARD. Ira BURLINGAME was moderator and J.A. BULLARD, clerk. The following-named persons, on presenting their certificates of good standing, were duly received and organized as members of said church, viz.: John ELLIS, Charles WARD, Jos. A. BULLARD, William MARKHAM, Lydia WARD, Rachel MARKHAM, Lucy PERKINS, and Julia PARMELEE. Elder Samuel BRAYMAN addressed the new church and gave the right hand of fellowship, and Elder Ebenezer VINING closed by prayer. Religious services were from that time frequently held at the school house in District No. 2, and the following additional members were soon after added, viz.: Ira SMITH, Alvah KEYES, Freeman BRYANT, Gershom R. STAUNTON, Benjamin LEE, Jane SMITH, Jerusha HENRY, Emily MARKHAM, Ruby Ann MARKHAM, Rachel Ann PHILLIPS, Lucinda SMITH, Martha LAWTON, Elizabeth MARKHAM, Rhoda PHILLIPS, Polly CHAMBERLAIN, Amanda PARMELEE, Mary Ann MC NAUGHTON, and Mary FISH. The pastors of this church were S. BRAYMAN, E. VINING, E. GOING, J. ELLIS, Daniel PLATT, and Records VINING.
Among others who embraced religion and became converts to the faith was Judge CHAMBERLAIN, who was converted and united with the Episcopal Methodists in or about 1845. He afterwards gave liberally of his ample fortune for the endowment of the Wesleyan College at Meadville, PA., and also for the establishment of the Chamberlain Institute, at Randolph, N.Y.

ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER GONE. Died in Great Valley on 4th of February inst. 1847 Benjamin Chamberlain, Esq., father of Hon. Benjamin Chamberlain of this Village and Gen. C.T. Chamberlain of Cuba, aged 91 years and 11 months. The deceased was in the battles of Lexington (the surrender of Cornwallis), Bunker Hill, Quebec, Still Water, White Plain, Monmouth and the storming of Stony Point. He was also engaged in many other scenes of the seven years struggle, which, although, they stand less prominent on the page of history, were equally perilous to their participants and contributed towards the great achievements of the time. At Quebec he was one of the gallant three who scaled the walls, were taken prisoner, confined in irons, all the winter. Mr. C. carried the marks of his manacles ever after. While with Washington at Valley Forge, he lost an eye in consequence of an old wound and exposure to the cold. "In short, although an active participant in many of the blodiest[sic] scenes of the war" having served the whole seven years "and a sufferer in its severest hardships, the God to whom he and his compatriots appealed for justice of their cause, spared him through all; and though ofttimes wounded he has lived to a good old age," seen and experience the blessing of the free institutions whose permanency he helped to establish and now gone down to his grave, but still to live on in the affections of a large and respected circle of descendants.

Very prominently identified with the early history of Cattaraugus County, and bearing a conspicuous part in its social, civil, and political history, was he of whom we write. He was also a grand example of a self-made man, and from the general results of his active and useful life valuable practical lessons may be drawn.
Benjamin CHAMBERLAIN was born in the State of Maine, in the town of Mount Vernon, Kennebec County, July 31, 1791. When he was ten years of age, his parents and family removed to Allegany County, N.Y., locating in the town of Belfast1. Thus was the early life of Judge CHAMBERLAIN passed in the wilderness of Western New York, with humble parentage, and his lot destined to be cast among the toiling, suffering, obscure, but brave pioneers of that new country. It is scarcely needful to state that educational advantages were extremely limited, schools being scarcely known. The instruction imparted by parents to their own children, or acquired by their own unaided efforts, had to make up for the deficiencies in scholastic training. Stern necessity made this the rule with young Benjamin. He was compelled, by want of both opportunity and means, to start out in life without these or other adventitious aids.
He left home in March, 18076, when but sixteen years of age, thus early commencing "a career seldom equaled in its leading features among the self-made men of the country. Without money or clothes, except such as were upon his back, barefoot and alone, he went to Olean in search of employment." There he commenced working for Maj. Adam HOOPS, the founder of the village, then, and for a long time, known as HAMILTON. He labored by the month, diligently, for a space of five years, employed in sawmills and in lumbering, then almost the only business of the country. This period yielded him small profits, but largely in discipline and preparation for the future. Business chances in such a wilderness, even for men of capital, were rare; yet young CHAMBERLAIN's ambition was to set up for himself. To do this without capital, without friends or influence, surely manifested a brave determination. He felt that his own mind and energies, his stout heart and iron will, would make up for the deficiencies of money and friends. Nor was he mistaken. Associated with Mr. MC KAY, since deceased, he erected a sawmill in Great Valley, and there carried on a successful lumber business all his lifetime. But it was not all "smooth sailing,"- the mill was only a short time completed when it was destroyed by fire, together with a large amount of sawed lumber, by which he lost all he had in the world. He was left without a dollar, somewhat in debt, and his partner was found to be insolvent. Yet, nothing daunted, he determined to go on, greatly encouraged by the warm affection, calm judgment, and wise counsel of his faithful companion. Her faith in the future was supreme. "She called his attention to the fact that they were still young, blessed with health and vigor, and that with industry, perseverance, and economy, they could overcome the loss they had sustained, and yet secure a competence." He obtained a credit of one thousand dollars of Capt. Henry DE FOREST, and rebuilt the mill. This was no small undertaking, when it is remembered that all the iron work of the mill had to be transported from Pittsburgh, in canoes, on the Allegany River.
From this time his business prospered. He was largely engaged in lumbering on the Allegany, and for nearly a half-century, enjoyed a degree of prosperity and an unbounded credit seldom equaled by any individual. "In conducting his business his office was not alone that of a mere overseer. His hands were alike familiar with the axe and the oar, and during the earlier years of his career he labored as constantly and as hard as any workman in his employ. In his operations he received essential aid from his wife, who was no less remarkable in her sphere than he in his. While absent at market with his lumber, she directed the management at home,-employed hands, prepared and dispatched the boards at every freshet, and maintained the same vigilant and successful care over the operations of business as though it were her proper place in life. To her should be given a large share of credit for the achievements of her husband, whose vast wealth was the result of their joint industry, intelligence and perseverance." His business interests were varied as extensive, embracing not only farming and lumbering, but dealing in lands, mercantile and banking operations, -giving all a personal supervision. He was president and principal stockholder of the Cuba (N.Y.) Bank.
Judge CHAMBERLAIN was prominently connected with the political history of Cattaraugus County. He held by appointment the office of sheriff in 1820, and from Feb. 12 1821, to Dec. 31, 1822; and in November, 1825, he was elected to the same office, serving until December, 1828. He served as associate judge of the Court of Common Pleas, with Hon. Alson LEAVENWORTH as first judge, and was appointed by Gov. MARCY as first judge of the Common Pleas of Cattaraugus County, Feb. 15, 1833; re-appointed in 1838 for a second term of five years, and again appointed for a third term in 1843. He served until June, 1847. Judge CHAMBERLAIN, "to an intuitive knowledge of the motives and character of men, united a sagacity that penetrated clearly the forensic myths of the bar, enabling him to dispel the legal fogs, sift conflicting evidence, and present every case in a plain, intelligent manner to the jury. His "charges' to juries are remembered as models of directness, brevity, and perspicuity; and, although not bred a lawyer, while on the bench, it was often remarked that 'he had it the natural way.'" Politically, he acted with the Democratic party, and frequently was selected as their standard bearer. In 1842, he was a member of the Electoral College of the State of New York, which cast the presidential vote of the State for Pierce and King.
For many years, and at the time of his death, he resided at East Randolph, where his elegant home was the abode of a warm-hearted and generous hospitality.
Judge Chamberlain was active in all efforts of a public character aiming to improve society and advance the standard of morality and education in the community. He manifested a substantial interest in schools, and his liberal contributions to the Randolph Academy are well known in this section. He was the first president of its board of trustees. This institution and Allegany College he aided and encouraged during his lifetime to the extent of nearly one hundred thousand dollars, and in his will bequeathed them four hundred thousand dollars more. In grateful recognition of this benevolence, the name of the Academy was changed by act of the Legislature to that of the "Chamberlain Institute."2
Judge Chamberlain possessed an "iron constitution," united to large mental capacity and enduring energy. He had a tall form and commanding presence; yet was affable, and possessed of a ready wit. His name stands not only as a representative man of this county, but as one of the remarkable personages of the State, and one whose memory will be cherished through all the future for the great good he has done.
He died in Ellicottville, February 10, 1868.

Benjamin Chamberlain, father of our subject (and of Gen. C.T. Chamberlain, of Cuba, N.Y.) Was a Revolutionary soldier, being present at Lexington, Yorktown, Bunker Hill, Stillwater, White Plains, Monmouth, Stony Point, and many other scarcely less exciting scenes of the struggle for American Independence. At Quebec, he was one of the immortal three hundred who scaled the walls, and was there captured and confined in irons, the marks of which he carried to his grave. He was with Washington at Valley Forge, and lost an eye by exposure to the weather. He died at Great Valley, Cattaraugus Co., N.Y., February 4, 1847, aged ninety-one years and eleven months.

Situated pleasantly on the west bank of the Genesee river near the north boundary of the town, is the village of Belfast. The first buildings there were David Sanford's sawmill and grist-mill and a log hut owned by the pioneer Baptist preacher, Elder Sanford. These were on the river bank a little below the present village. The first house on the hill, where Belfast village now is, was a log structure erected by Alexander V. P. Chamberlain, in 1816. Benjamin Chamberlain and a partner named Hughes or Hues opened the first store about 1840. Henry D. Lyman opened the first public house about two years later. The first framed house in the village was built by David Sanford, but at what date it is now impossible to ascertain.

In 1816 Gen. Calvin T. Chamberlain settled two miles out from Cuba village, and in 1817 built the first sawmill. James Strong in 1817 purchased the land now covered by the village. Judge John Griffin in 1820 succeeded to the possession of the land which Strong "took up."
During the thirties it became apparent that Cuba possessed men of sagacious minds and commanding influence. Turner, in his "History of the Holland Purchase, " says that the idea of the feasibility of the construction of the Genesee Valley canal was first publicly suggested at a meeting in this town, attended by Gen. C. T. Chamberlain gave the lot. Gen. Chamberlain, Joseph Palmer and Stephen Smith gave $100 each. Abraham Rude had charge of building the house. The bell weighed 466 pounds and was of unusual excellence. The fourth pastor, Rev. B. F. Robins came in April, 1840, and remained until Jan. 1, 1845. He received by baptism 59 and by letter 58 members. At this time the church was divided by the Millerite excitement. The pastor and many of the members were so carried away with it that they sat up one Monday night until 2 o'clock anxiously awaiting the end of the world. Throughout the village the excitement was equally intense. Rev. Mr. Robins embraced Sabbatarian views and in 1848 united with the Seventh-day Baptist church of Nile. "After a few years he was excommunicated for heresy in advocating the speedy coming of Christ, the sleep of the dead, materialism and the annihilation of the wicked." The next pastor, Rev. Daniel M. Root, assumed charge early in 1845 and stayed one year. This year was mainly occupied with disciplinary measures consequent upon the Millerite craze, and 45 were dropped from the church lists, but afterwards most of them returned. The sixth pastor was Rev. O. W. Gibbs, from May, 1846, until May, 1849. He was ordained at Cuba, July 19, 1846. Rev. Z. Smith came in 1849 and continued until 1852, and received 39 by baptism and 21 by letter. In 1850 the parsonage, costing $650, was built, the site being given by Gen. C. T. Chamberlain. The eighth pastor was Rev. A. T. Cole, from May, 1852, to May, 1863. During eleven years 112 persons were added to the church by baptism and 75 by letter. 1854 and 1858 were years of especial revival interest. In 1860-61 the edifice was repaired, the pulpit removed from between the doors to the opposite end of the house, the seats turned about, the audience room enlarged, and a lecture room built on, at a cost of $2,300. At the close of Rev. Mr. Cole's pastorate the church numbered over 180 members. The next pastor, Rev. Ira W. Simpson, continued about one year. Rev. Harvey H. Stockton began in May, 1864, and remained until his death, March 2, 1866. The eleventh pastor, Rev. S. W. Titus, began in 1866, continued 15 months, added 39 by baptism and 59 by letter. Rev. W. C. Learned was pastor from Oct. 1, 1867, and continued a year and a half. The next pastor was Rev. Isaac C. Seely, from 1869 until his death, Dec. 22, 1874. In 1870 the meetinghouse was burned and the present brick edifice erected. A fine organ was purchased in 1874. In the erection of this building Mr. Seely was tireless in efforts to bring it to completion and led the movement to secure the organ, but was privileged to preach only once after it was ready for use. The pastorate of Rev. V. A. Sage began in April, 1875, and closed Jan. 1, 1887. In May, 1892, at their annual meeting the trustees voted to change the corporate name of the church to the "First Baptist Church of Cuba," but so far no legal steps have been taken to carry out this action. Since, the pastors have been in succession, Rev. T. M. Davis, 1887-89; Rev. E. L. Scott, 1889-91; Rev. D. H. Denison, 1891-96. There are 247 members in this church and a Sunday school of 178 members. In 1873 Daniel B. Sill was chosen superintendent and reelected each year until 1885, when Prof. W. H. Yinney assumed the office. He was succeeded by the present superintendent, Robert Bowen. Connected with the church are the senior and junior societies of Y. P. S. C. E., Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Circle, The Northern Lights (the young woman's mission circle), and the Ladies' Aid Society.
CHRIST CHURCH (EPISCOPAL).--The first Episcopal services in Cuba were held in the Presbyterian church in 1839 by Rev. Mr. Bruce, who officiated occasionally for several years after. The first baptism into this church was that of Mrs. Wealthy Ann Maxson, wife of Dr. Stephen Maxson, January 29,1843. In the summer of 1843 W. H. DeLancy, D. D., bishop of the diocese, held service, preached and made an effort to unite Rushford and Cuba in one parish. Subsequently Rev. Thomas Morris of Ellicottville occasionally held services, still using the Presbyterian house of worship. The first communicant who resided in Cuba was Mrs. Sarah R. Chamberlain, wife of Gen. Calvin T. Chamberlain, in 1846. In 1852 Noah P. Loveridge, the first male communicant arrived. In 1852 Rev. Mr. Wilson of Olean began holding services in the Methodist church once in two weeks, which was continued for some years. At this time a parish, "Christ's Church Parish of Cuba," was organized. Calvin T. Chamberlain and Anson Stewart were wardens; Rufus L. Colwell, Dr. Stephen Maxson, D. A. Kirkpatrick, Noah P. Loveridge, Marshall B. Champlain, Stephen L. Davidson and Samuel M. Russell vestrymen. At a later period meetings were held in school rooms, halls and offices, as convenience seemed to dictate, and when no clergyman was present, Noah P. Loveridge read sermons. Mrs. Ann Champlain was the first person confirmed from this parish, in Olean, May 21, 1854. Rev. Moses E. Wilson resigned the rectorship of Olean and Cuba parishes at Easter, 1855, and was succeeded by Rev. Charles E. Beardsley who officiated every third Sunday till Easter, 1859. A chapel was erected in 1856-57 and occupied the latter year, continuing to be their place of worship till it was burned in 1871. Rev. John A. Bowman took charge of the parish in 1859, alternating with Wellsville. From 1860 to 1865, Rev. John Dobyns was rector three years and services were continued by lay reading. From 1865 to 1867 Rev. J. H. Waterbury had charge. Rev. S. S. Lewis officiated from 1867 to 1870, and was succeeded by Rev. Thomas Bell, under whose rectorship the present church edifice was erected, the cornerstone being laid May 30, 1871, by Rev. D. E. Loveridge of Norwich, N. Y. The architect was Col. C. N. Otis. The building is of brick, seats 300 people, and together with the lot, furniture and appointments is worth $15,000. Since and including 1871, the rectors have been Rev. E. J. Cooke. Rev. J. W. Greenwood, Rev. J. Sidney Kent, Rev. J. E. Goodhue, Rev. W. W. Rufter, and Rev. F. N. Bouck. The present officers are, E. D. Loveridge, senior warden; Geo. H. Brooks, junior warden; A. J. Phillips, treasurer. Hon. E. D. Loveridge is superintendent of the Sabbath school of 40 members

On Monday afternoon, William CHAMBERLAIN of Great Valley, one of the Pioneer Settlers in western New York, droped dead while in the W. N. Y. & P. depot at Salamanca, the cause of death being heart disease. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, and his wife, were at the depot waiting for the train to Onoville, where they were going to visit a daughter at that place. He was apparently as well as usual, and death occured in a second, without any warning whatever. Mr CHAMBERLAIN was about 80 years of age, and was a brother to Judge CHAMBERLAIN, whose history is well known throughout the state. He resided in the town of Great Valley for many years, and was loved and honored by all who knew him. His father was a Soldier in the war of the revolution under General Washington, and he was the last of the old stock. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss.
