Hero Honored on Memorial Day - A special Memorial Day service took place
at the gravesite of Amos WOODIN, a soldier of the
American Revolution, in Bushnell Basin Cemetery. Members of the Fairport
American Legion and Leion Auxiliary, the Bushnell's Basin Boy Scouts with
Perinton Supervisor Lake Edwards, Perinton Historian Mrs.
Charles BUTLER, the Daughters of the American Revolution and others,
along with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur WOODIN and daughters
of Brighton and Mr. and Mrs. George WOODIN of
Weidman, Michigan descendants also participated.
The
obituary of the soldier from the Rochester Republican, of November 3, 1842 read
as follows: " At Victor, Fisher Road, Fishers, Ontario County on the 19th
of October last, Amos WOODIN at the advanced aged
of 90 years. He was a native of Mass., took an active part in the war of
the Revolution and is at length gathered to his fathers full of years. He
served his country faithfully in the times that tried men's souls; witnessed the
surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga; was in several engagements with the enemy and
received as he deserved in common with the warm and true hearted patriots of
that day, the gratitude of a free people. As a man and a citizen he was
upright, honest, industrious and virtuous; and he has left behind him a name
which is as precious ointment. He was above all a Christian, a soldier of
the Cross and died in the faith, and has gone to his reward. Having
outlived his General, and weary of this present life, and longing for a better,
he welcomed the approach of death and "Like a shock of corn fully
ripe," was gathered to his rest. The Court Martial then in session,
paid a becoming respect to the memory of a solder and patriot of a bygone age,
by adjourning to attend his funeral, and commit his body to the dust. Soon
indeed, will the last of that Nobel school of patriots have gone beyond the
reach of a nation's gratitude and who will take their place." Cemetery
