He was a TANNING BUSINESS in CONCORD, FRANKLIN CO., PENNSYLVANIA. BY JOHN M. POMEROY, EDITOR OF THE FRANKLIN REPOSITORY, OF CHAMBERSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA. A ACCOUNT OF ROBERT MACLAY IS AS FOLLOWS:

ROBERT MACLAY WHO WAS FOR HALF A CENTURY A PROMINENT AND VERY INFLUENTIAL CITIZEN OF CONCORD, WAS A MEMBER OF A FAMILY THAT HAS LONG OCCUPIED A CONSPICUOUS POSITION IN THE HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY AND CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. ALTHOUGH HE WAS OF SCOTCH DESCENT, AND HIS ANCESTORS FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS WERE OFFICE BEARERS IN THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, AND HE WAS EDUCATED STRICTLY IN THAT FAITH, AS HE HAS OFTEN TOLD US, HE BECAME IN EARLY LIFE ATTACHED TO THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH AND CONTINUED AN ACTIVE AND INTELLIGENT MEMBER OF THAT DENOMINATION AS LONG AS HE LIVED. HE WAS A MAN OF IMPOSING PERSONAL APPEARANCE, AND ANY PERSON WOULD SINGLE HIM OUT IN A CROWD AS BEING MORE THAN AN ORDINARY MAN. THE GREAT OBJECT OF HIS LIFE WAS TO PROMOTE THE CAUSE OF RELIGION, AND HE WAS A ZEALOUS ADVOCATE OF EVERY MEASURE WHICH HE THOUGHT WOULD ADVANCE THE INTERESTS OF THE REDEEMER'S KINGDOM UPON THE EARTH. INDEED, WE HAVE NEVER KNOWN A MORE GODLY MAN OR ONE WHO MANIFESTED IN HIS LIFE AND CONVERSTION SO MUCH POWER OF THE GOSPEL, AS DID MR. MACLAY. HE EXERTED, BY HIS PRESENCE, A MARKED INFLUENCE ON THE COMMUNITY, AND HE WAS A TOWER OF STRENGTH TO THE CHURCH OF WHICH HE WAS A MEMBER. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A PERSON OF ANY INTELLIGENCE TO HOLD ANY LIGHT OR UNPROFITABLE CONVERSATION IN HIS PRESENCE, NOR WOULD ANYONE WHO HAD ANY REGARD FOR HIS CHARACTER BE GUILTY OF ANY IMPROPER ACT ON THE SABBATH, IF HE WERE WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE EYE OF MR. MACLAY. AND YET HE DID NOT LEAD A GLOOMY, SECLUDED LIFE, BUT WAS PLEASANT AND CHEERFUL IN HIS HABITS OF CONVERSATION AND WAS IN ALL RESPECTS THE HIGHEST STYLE OF MAN, AN ACCOMPLISHED CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN. IF WE WERE TO MAKE ANY ADVERSE CRITICISM OF HIM AT ALL, WE WOULD SAY THAT PROBABLY HE WAS SOMEWHAT TOO RIGID IN BOTH RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL VIEWS.
" HE NEVER SOUGHT POLITICAL DISTINCTION, BUT WAS RATHER ADVERSE TO IT. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO WHICH HE WAS ARDENTLY ATTACHED, PLACED HIM ON THEIR TICKET TWO OR THREE TIMES, AGAINST HIS WISHES, FOR THE LEGISLATURE, BUT HE ALWAYS HAPPENED TO BE ON AT THE WRONG TIME, AND THE LAST TIME HE WAS NOMINATED HE DECLINED TO ACCEPT ".
