He died in great peace January 26, 1857, in the thirty-ninth year of his age.

The public funeral services were in Syriac, and his remains were borne to their last resting-place by graduates of the seminary, whose conversion dated back to the first revival.
The mind of Mr.Stoddard was cast in a fine mould.

The older members of the Board remember him at the Annual Meeting in Pittsfield in 1849.

My own thought at the time was, that were an angel present in human form, his appearance and deportment would be much like those of Mr.Stoddard.A calm, seraphic joy shone in his face, and all that he said and did was just what all delighted to hear and see.
His presence did much to give a character to that meeting.

Mr.
Stoddard had a frail body, and an almost feminine grace of person, like the popular impression of that disciple who leaned on the bosom of his Lord; but, like that disciple, he had strength of principle and inflexibility of purpose.
