- Description:
- Enos T Throop died on his estate of Willowbrook near Auburn on 1 November 1874, aged 90. He was buried in the churchyard of St. Peter's Episcopal Church (now St. Peter and St. John Church) in Auburn. This letter of payment for pew rental points to a long family relationship with the church. In Anglican churches at this time, it was not uncommon to "rent" pews for weekly use.
