Notes	Levi Hasbrouck, born in 1791, was the only son of Josiah Hasbrouck (1755-1821) and Sarah Decker (1764-1845). After Josiah's death in 1821, Levi inherited Locust Lawn. That same year Levi married Hylah Bevier (1795 -1874). Levi and Hylah had six children together, although only five of them survived adulthood. Under Levi's tenancy, Locust Lawn continued to thrive as a successful, up-to-date farming operation and the Hasbrouck home was a comfortable one. Levi was a member of the Washington National Monument Society, American Tract Society and American Bible Society. Levi Hasbrouck died on March 7, 1861, of a long unknown illness. Upon Levi's death his only son Josiah inherited the family farm Locust Lawn and much of his father's real estate in New Paltz and environs. Note paper has a thin black border.

Translation	DIED. On the 7th inst., at his late residence near New Paltz, LEVI HASBROUCK, in the 70th year of his age. His life leaves its silent, imperishable re- cord in the hearts of those who knew him best. The widow, the fatherless and the friendless blend their tears with kindred and friends in the common bereavement. His last few years was a period of extreme, continuous suffering, horne with a sweet, un- murmuring, child-like resignation to his Fa ther's will. In this school of affliction he had "learned of Him who was meek and lowly in heart, and found rest for his soul." Death to him was an event long expected and well prepared for. Faith has disarmed it of its sting. Casting himself as a helpless sinner on the merits of his Savior, he calm- ly and tranquilly awaited his approach and Lay down in his embrace. "As one Who wraps the drapery of his couch about him And lies down to pleasant dreams." To him it was sweet peace-rest for the weary-the blissful bourne the tired pilgrim has longed to reach. Be it ours to bow like him with unmur- muring faith, and look through our tears to the promised gathering place of them that sleep in Jesus. "For them that sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." New Paltz, March, 1861.
