Excerpt from History of Pocomoke City, Formerly New Town: From Its Origin to the Present Time Roman Catholic. He would hold family prayer on Sabbath morning, and would teach the children the prayers of that Church, such as the Lord's prayer, the Salutation and Invocation to the Holy Virgin Mary, the Apostles Creed, etc. But with these facts before me I must conclude that he was a broad minded, liberal man, for he contributed to the building of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in New Town, and had all his children baptized by Protestant Ministers. I have been at a loss to account for my early religious impressions, in View of the fact that my father was but a nominal christian, while my mother, during the lifetime of my father, did not belong to church. I can recollect distinctly, when but a child, that I was not afraid to die, and when the good spirit of the Lord so moved upon my little heart, as to soften it into tenderness and love. I can also recollect, when in my early youth, that I was afraid to die, that I had a consciousness of sin and was afraid of God, and in view of such convictions, when I would retire to my bed at night, I have engaged in prayer, repeating the Lord's prayer and those my father taught me and concluding with: Now I lay me down to Sleep, etc., until my little eyes would close in balmy sleep nature's sweet restorer. I pursued this course under the impres sion that Satan would not come after a person while they were praying, for I was frequently afraid the Devil would get me before morning. The reader will recollect the Cat Story in relation to myself, which is told under the head of Social Life in New Town.
