    [Amariah was buried on the grounds of what was the Fourth Street Methodist Episcopal Church in Williamsport, PA. He donated this land to be used for a cemetery and church and stated upon donation that the land should be used as a graveyard "forever". In addition, Amariah owned land from what is now (in 2017)Rose Street @ West 4th Street in Williamsport, south from there to the river and west to Lycoming Run. The land he donated for the cemetery is near the Pine Street Methodist Church. This information was received from one of his descendants who located it in a book called History of Lycoming County, edited by John Franklin Meginness; published in 1892. The book also states that prior to 1890, no church was at that location for more than forty years and that many of the old graves had been "obliterated".]
