"In his later years Josiah was an erect old gentleman, very affectionately remembered in Mount Pleasant, Pa. where he spent the later years of his life as a guest at the old 'Gibbs House', and was familiarly known as 'Uncle Joe'. A devout Baptist, he kept benevolent watch over the church affairs of the vicinity, the handicap of his deafness did not interfere with his religious activity. A great reader, having read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations inclusive, nine times. In the later years of his life, he was a staunch adherent of the 'Whigs' and Republicans."
