Johnny Appleseed

A correspondent sends us some items:

…

Johnny Appleseed was a frequent visitor here. He was a constant snuff consumer and had beautiful teeth. He was smitten here with Miss Nancy Tannehill and proposed, but was just one too late: she was already engaged. He died March 11, 1845. in St. Joseph township, Indiana, at the house of Wm. Worth. When he died he had on for clothing next to his body a coarse coffee sack slipped over his head; around his waist parts of four pantaloons; over these a white pair complete. He was buried two and a half miles north of Fort Wayne.
