Henry Welch
Northern Christian Advocate, Auburn, NY, May 5, 1847
Henry Welch died in Watertown, Jefferson Co., N.Y., January 21, 1847, in the 68th year of his age. Br. Welch was a native of Connecticut. He removed to this State in 1802. He thought he experienced religion in his youth, but did not publicly profess faith in Christ till the year 1813 in Copenhagen, Lewis Co., where he united with the M.E. Church, of which he remained a worthy member, till he was removed by death from the Church militant to the Church triumphant, after a severe and lingering illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude and holy resignation, and was enabled frequently to say that pain was sweet, while Jesus was with him, to make all his bed in his sickness--that he soothed his bed and gave him rest. He left the world with the greatest composure and peace, (after taking a formal and affectionate leave of his family, and exhorting them all to meet him in heaven) in joyous expectation of a glorious immortality beyond this vale of tears, where
"Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more."
Thus has the Chruch been deprived of one of the worthy members, and the family, of an affectionate husband and father; and we are all admonished by this providence, of the importance of being also ready. May this providential visitation be sanctified to the good of the family and Church, and we all meet him in heaven, where, unlike the disturbers of earth, we shall be identified in one common interest and bound together by a golden chain of eternal concord. E. Wheeler, Redman, April 10, 1847
Emeline Minerva Lobdell
Utica Saturday Globe, Auburn, NY, May 5, 1847
Miss Emeline Lobdell, daughter of George and Almira Lobdell, of the town of Victor [Ontario Co., NY], died at the residence of her parents, on the 14th inst., at the age of 18 years. Emeline experienced the pardoning mercy of God some years ago, and united with the M.E. church; but as is too common with the young, she subsequently forsook the good and the right way, and lost her standing in the Church. While in this backslidden state, the consumption marked her for its victim and she began rapidly to decline. Though at first she was perfectly indifferent to her fate, yet subsequently she sought for mercy and pardon; nor did she seek in vain--It was a great grief to her, that she had so far wandered from God as to lose her standing in the Church, and she expressed an ardent desire to have her name reinstated before she died. During a few of the last weeks of her life, she gave the most satisfactory evidence that she was prepared to die, and looked forward with unspeakable delight, to the hour of her final release. Unquestionably, she has gone to join the church triumphant in the kingdom of heaven. G. Hines, Victor, April 26, 1847 [Buried Victor Village Cemetery: Inscription: "In memory of Emeline M, daughter of George & Almyra Lobdell. Died April 14, 1847, aged 17 years, 9 mo's & 20 d's"]
