A large dog used to follow the general about, and on its back Uriah's little son Stephen (Mrs Howell's father) was often allowed to ride. . . . Uriah attained the great age of 98 years, dying in 1839, at the home of his son Stephen in Bound Brook, NJ He was blind for nearly 30 years before his death.
