His successor, the Rev. A. D. Gillette, D.D., was a gentleman of refinement and scholastic culture. He entered upon his duties in December, 1874, and closed hw labors here in December, 1878. He was born in 1807. He had filled several important pulpits in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and in Washing-ton before he came to Sing Sing, and enjoyed an ex-alted reputation as a scholar and an eloquent preacher.
