He was there some little time, working his trade. He returned to Peru, having his earning two hundred dollars Spanish silver, rare coins to back-woodsmen in those days. Libert visited his old home, George Walker's. A speciman of the coin was exhibited as a curiosity. Now it was revealed that "Uncle George" as all the neighbors called him, had a special fondness for silver, so he exchanged bank bills for the whole pile. It was observed ever after, that his tender was paper money. Over forty years after, a goodly portion of those coins resumed circulation.
"Liberty Hall was a professor of religion, a a zealous advocate for the cause. He was life and power in social meetings, an honest, honorable man."
