Death
Alline fell mortally ill the last week of January, 1784, while preaching at North Hampton, New Hampshire. The Reverend David McClure, a Calvinist minister, and his family took him into their home and provided him with whatever comforts they could extent a dying man. On Feb 2, he died of complications arising from tuberculosis. McClure and his Church arranged for Alline’s burial in their own church burying ground. The epitaph they had cut into his tombstone reads "He was a burning and shining Light, and was justly esteemed the apostle of Nova Scotia.",
