The last of the Pioneers has departed from among us. Amos Porter, the last of the patriot band who landed in the wilderness where Marietta now stands, on the memorable 7th of April, 1788 – almost 74 years ago – died at the residence of his son in Salem township, on the 28th ult. at the patriarchal age of 93 years. What wondrous changes have taken place since that dim and distant day!
