1898 An obituary reports [16] [17]:

Died, at his residence near Trenton, N. J., on the eighth of Fourth Month, 1898, William C. Ivins, in the eighty first year of his age; a member of Trenton Particular and Chesterfield Monthly Meeting. He was strongly attached to the ancient principles and doctrines of Friends; and was a regular attender of meeting till prevented by impaired health a few months previous to his decease. During the last few years, he was pervaded with a quiet, gentle, forgiving spirit; and dwelt much in retirement. Many testimonies have been borne to his kindness to his neighbors and friends, and practical sympathy to those in need. His last will and testament closes with a desire that if he has wronged or dealt harshly with any, that such will forgive him for the blessed Redeemer's sake. After a long, useful and well spent life, we reverently believe that he has been safely gathered with the ransomed and the redeemed of all generations.
