Mr. Main was a Christian worker and joined the Baptist Church inBrookfield, NY. Later he espoused the cause of the Seventh DayAdventists, and died in the firm belief of their interpertations of theScriptures. He was a very active in whatever he undertook. He was chosencaptain of a company of cavalry. When chosen he was called upon to "wethis commission." Mr. Main responded, "Comrades, I will hold second placeto no man in seeking to promote the walfare and efficiency of ourcompany, but I can't join you in this baleful practice. I taste nointoxicating liquors myself and can't stiffle my conscience by offeringit to others." He was not only a great temperance worker, but came out infront ranks at the dawn of the anti-slavery struggle.
For several years he was deprived of his sight, yet he maintained acherrful disposition. He died at the home of his beloved daughter,Mandana, who tenderly and lovingly fulfilled her duties in a very quietway. He and his first wife are buried in the Brown Cemetery. Mr. Main wasone of the prime movers in establishing and promoting the Main Reunion.In 1892 he, with six other grandsons of Deacon Daniel and wife, formed astriking contrast, when seated on a platform at the reunion, with theyoungest ones in the audience. They were all gray headed, bearded andvery healthy looking.
