1809.
CHARLES GOODRICH OLMSTED, son of Col. David Olmsted, of Ridgefield, Conn., died in Spring Port, Henry Co, Ky., Sept., 1865, aged 77 years.

Before he entered college, his family had removed to Manlius, Onondaga Co., N. Y., and after graduation he studied law in Onondaga. Settling first in Tennessee, where he married, he spent the remainder of his life in the Southwestern States. For the last eight or ten years he had resided in the family of his wife's son-in-law, Hon. Humphrey Marshall, of Ky.

He left no children.

He was remarkable for a spirit of philosophical investigation, though as a practising lawyer not eminent. During the rebellion he was consistently loyal, having previously avowed abolition sentiments.
