  [S247] Newspaper Clipping (Reliability: 3), 02 Apr 1870. April 2, 1870 VILLAGE RECORD Death Notice DEATH OF A VENERABLE FRIEND - Joseph Trimble, an aged and much respected resident of Harford county, Maryland, (formerly of Chester county,) died on the 17th inst.., in the 98th year of his age. The PRESS says this venerable man was a member of the Society of Friends, and a constant attendant at Forest Meeting, about six miles distant from his home, for upwards of sixty years, having, it is stated, never missed a meeting (twice a week) during that time. He also attended sixty consecutive Yearly Meetings at Baltimore. It is estimated that during his lifetime he has traveled at least 100,000 miles in going to and returning from meeting. He was always a very hale and hearty man, remarkable for his temperate and industrious habits. During the last years of his life he employed himself in his woodhouse in cutting up all the wood used in the dwelling, doing so for the sake of exercise it afforded, and he could handle the saw and axe quite as dexterously as many men 70 years younger. He retained to a remarkable degree all his faculties, except his hearing, which failed toward the close of his life.
