Mr.Truman was born on Long Island, N.Y., where, at an early age, he experienced religion, and connected himself with a church then under the care of Elder Gillett, composed of Seventh-day Baptist and First-day Baptist members. From thence he removed to Chenango County, N.Y., and was one of the first settlers of the town of Preston, where he resided at his death. He was a Seventh-day Baptist in principle and practice, of sound mind, and good abilities, both natural and acquired. He died in the hopes of a glorious immortality and eternal life. 'O tell my companions and children so dear, To weep not though Joseph is gone; The same hand that led me through scenes dark and drear, Hath kindly conducted me home.'
