Jonathan Bailey Condit, pastor of the Second Congregational Church at Portland, Maine, wrote and delivered a lengthy memorial at the time of 11-year old George Sydenham Mighels’ death in 1839. George’s father Jesse Wedgwood Mighels transcribed the unpublished “Memorial of the life and death of George Sydenham Mighels” into a bound volume in 1853, as a gift to his other son Henry Rust Mighels. An ornate manuscript title page by Prof. Thompson of Cincinnati and introductory text by Jesse W. Mighels precede the 247-page memorial.
