“His Christianity was pure, his views of religion sound and scriptural, and his fidelity and integrity of character were like his own well aimed rifle, true to the mark.”

– Rev. Thomas Aitken
Obituary of Moses Van Campen


"I was nurtered in the school of the rifle and the tomahawk."

- Moses Van Campen

“The notes of war are hushed,

    The rage of battle o’er,

The warrior is at rest,

    He hears our praise no more.

The soldier nobly fought

    For all we dearly love,

He fought to gain a heavenly crown,

    And now he reigns above.”


- Rev. Thomas Aitken
Inscription, Moses Van Campen's tombstone
