Nearly Hundred Years Old
A Special to the Indianapolis Journal Rochester, July 20. - Rev. Adrain Foote died last Night at the residence of his son-in-law, Robert Gould, in this city, at the advance age of nonety-nine years and three months.

Mr. Foote was the oldest Baptist minister in the United States.

He leaves a wife, who is over eighty years old and three children.

Mr. Foote was born at Pittsfield, Mass., April 2, 1787 graduated from the Theologoical College at Hamilton, N. Y., about 1819 and began preaching the next year. Havin become superanuated several years ago, he retires, and led a quite life. - - The Indianapolis Journal ul 21, 1886


DIED - On Monday evening, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Robert GOULD, Father Foote, quietly and apparently without pain, breathed his last.

Adrain FOOTE was born in Pittsfield, Mass., April 2, 1787, and died in Rochester, Indiana, July 19, 1886.

His father was a surgeon in the Revolutionary war and at its close resumed the practice of medicine and also operated a farm. When the subject of this sketch was 5 years old, his father moved into that portion of Western New York, known as the wilderness, and located twelve miles beyond an open road, and blazed the trees as he went through, that he might find his road back. Here he cleared a farm and raised a family of children. The opportunity for securing an education in this woody country was limited to the lessons which the father gave to his children, around the fireside.

At the age of 19 he was married, but his wife soon died and he entered college and graduated from Madison University at the age of 26, from which his career as a philanthropist and a clergyman, may be said to have properly commenced.

He was again married in 1832, and was largely instrumental in building several churches in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, where he spent 43 years in active ministerial work.

He then moved west to Indiana, and in 1856 located in LaPorte, where he lived three years and then purchased and moved onto a tract of land near Lake Maxinkuckee, from which there was not a stick amiss, and here he, and an only son, cleared the farm, and they prospered until the war of the rebellion came on, when the son entered the army, only to soon return a cripple for life.

Fifteen years ago Father Foote moved to Rochester and has since made this his home. His intellect was remarkably vigorous, and his theological and scientific research in his younger days gave him such a wide range of thought, that his ideas on religious and scientific questions were eagerly sought for by ministers and students of the sciences.

He cast his first vote in the Presidential election of 1808, and voted at each Presidential election since.

Until two years ago he was a regular attendant at church and manifested an unusual interest in the welfare of the Baptist denomination, of which he was a member from early life.

His wife.survives him, and though entirely blind and 77 years old, she is a pleasant and interesting conversationalist, and is thoroughly familiar with many historical events which can only be obtained by a long life of practical observation.

All the ministers of the Logansport Baptist Association have been invited to attend the funeral, which well be conducted at the Baptist church today at 2 o'clock by Rev. CHITTENDEN, assisted by Rev. LORD and Rev. E. J. DELP.

Thus closes the life of one who has devoted three score and ten years of a lifetime, covering a period of almost a century, to the welfare of his fellow beings, and to the service of his Creator.

Father Foote was the father of seven children, three of whom survive him, viz: Mrs. Robert GOULD, Mrs. Etta BUMSTEAD, of Lincoln, Nebraska, and Mr. A. B. H. FOOTE, of Knox, Indiana. - Rochester Sentinel July 21, 1886

The remains of Mrs. [Philomella ALDEN] FOOTE, widow of Adrian FOOTE, deceased, who about ten years ago were residents of this city, reached here on the early train this morning, from Buffalo, N.Y., where she died Saturday, aged 89 years. Robert GOULD, of Buffalo, a son-in-law, and a brother of Dr. V. GOULD, accompanied the corpse. Burial in the Odd Fellows cemetery at 9 o'clock. Rochester Sentinel February 13, 1899
Miss Philomelia ALDEN was born in Rome, N.Y., June 19, 1809. Was married to Elder Adrian FOOTE in the spring of 1832 at Ripley, N.Y. One son and four daughters were born to them.

Twenty-six years ago they came from Maxinkuckee Lake to Rochester, where Elder Foote died at the advanced age of 99 years.

Seven years ago with the family of her daughter, Mrs. Robert GOULD, Mrs. Foote removed to Buffalo, N.Y. where she died February 10, 1899.

By birth, culture and character, Mrs. Foote belonged to the true nobility of our republic.

She was in direct line of descent from John and Precilla ALDEN, whose characters are so beautifully portrayed in Longfellow's "Courtship of Miles Standish."

Mrs. Foote was an educated, self-reliant, christian woman, an inspiration and a comfort to the weary, a charming and entertaining woman to her most intimate friends.

She was a woman of heroic character. Through all her trials, temptations and sacrifices, she held fast to her belief in the Holy Christian religion and it was this that sustained her, when darkness overshadowed her life, nineteen years ago, and deprived her of one of her greatest pleasures. It was this faith that comforted her in the last hours of her life, and this faith that enabled her to meet the end with the joyous knowledge that the glories of an eternal home awaited her coming. - Rochester Sentinel February 15, 1899
