David E. Blakeman
David E. Blakeman, son of Elihu and Emeline Blakeman, of Volney [Oswego Co., NY], died on the 12th inst., aged 12 years and 7 months. He was sick nine days, and during that time he suffered much. The affliction bears heavily upon the bereaved parents, brother and sister, but we trust will be sanctified to their good, remembering, as they do, his language before he left them. When asked by his brother beloved, if he did not wish to see Mrs. L., his reply was, "I had rather go and see Jesus." He has gone, and, we trust, has seen him long before this hour. and will not return to us again; but it is the prayer of the wiser, that the parents, brother, and sister, may be prepared to go to him. D.D. Parker, Phoenix, march 17, 1851
William T. Carr
Mr. William T. Carr died on the 11th inst., at his residence in Meniz, Cayuga Co., aged 40 years. Mr. Carr was a well known and influential citizen--had been for some years a warm advocate of Universalism, but for several weeks before his death, renounced that creed, and was led, by the grace of God, to embrace salvation as presented in the Gospel. He gave convincing evidence of his conversion during his protracted illness; and with his latest breath gave assurance that he was going to Jesus. James Landreth
George Chapel
George [Chapel], son of Jason and Betsey Ann Chapel, died in Fosterville [Cayuga Co., NY], March 5th, 1851, aged 1 year, 3 months, and 19 days.
Deborah David
Mrs. Deborah David died in Aurelius [Cayuga Co., NY], March 4th, 1851, aged 41 years. Sister David died in holy triumph, after a lingering sickness of several months. As she approached the hour of her dissolution, hope and fear alternately prevailed, until a day or two before her death; when the "sun of righteousness" arose "with healing in his wings," and dispersed every cloud, to return no more. That she died "the death of the righteous," is the solace of those who mourn her loss. E.N. Cuykendall
Marietta Fuller
Marietta [Fuller], daughter of Hezekiah and Mary Fuller, died in Mentz [Cayuga Co., NY], Jan. 13th, 1851, aged 1 year and 8 months. E.N. Cuykendall
Harvy Gridley
Mr. Harvy Gridley, formerly of Bradford Co., Penn., but for some time past a resident of Oneida Depot, Madison Co., N.Y., committed suicide, at his own residence, on Sunday evening last, the 9th inst. There is every reason to believe that at the time of committing the act, he was laboring under a fit of temporary insanity. He had at times for the past two years, been subject to fits of mental aberration, caused, as is most probable, by nervous debility. No other sufficient reason can be assigned for his doing it. He was a worthy, conscientious, and temperate man; a kind husband and father, and a member of the Presbyterian Church. He has left a wife and four children to mourn his loss. Oneida, March 15, 1851
Dr. Elijah Herrick
Dr. Elijah Herrick died at Weathersfield Springs, Wyoming Co., N.Y., Jan. 12th, 1851 in the 89th year of his are. He was born in Preston, Conn. He died at the residence of his son, the Rev. E. Herrick, formerly of the Genesee Conference. He was a worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal Church about forty years. he rests from his labors, and his works do follow him. Jason C. Miller
Daniel Marsh
Daniel Marsh died in the town of Bath, Steuben Co., March 7th, in the 23d year of his age. Our young brother experienced religion in the fourteenth year of his age, during a protracted meeting held in his neighborhood, nine years ago last winter. He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a consistent and faithful member until the day of his death. As a Christian, he was modest and unassuming, yet ever ready to bear the cross on all proper occasions. As a friend he was faithful and true, and those loved him most who knew him best. His decline was apparent for some time and though sick but a few days, and could converse but little, yet he was willing to say, "It is the Lord, let him do what seemeth him good." Though he has gone so soon from the society of loved ones, yet their loss is his infinite gain. From the uniformity of his piety, we believe he rests in heaven, and the epitaph, so much coveted by the good, may be appropriately written on his tomb, namely: "Dead and gone to heaven." F. Wilber.
Huldah (Brown) Palmiter
Huldah, widow of George Palmiter, died in Brookfield, Madison Co., N.Y., March 5, 1851, aged 76 years. Mother Palmiter was born in Ashford, Conn. Her maiden name was Brown. She moved to this place in early life. For about fifty years she had been a member of the Christian Church, first in connection with the Baptists, and for about forty years a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her health for many years had been feeble. In love feast, a short time before her death, she bore testimony to the excellency of religion, and upon her dying bed she said to the writer, "The Savior has been good to me all my life, why should I not trust him now?" We trust she sleeps in Jesus. May her children ad friends imitate her virtues and meet her in heaven. W.G. Queal. Brookfield, March 12, 1851
Naomi Palmer
Naomi [Palmer], daughter of Avery Palmer, died in Brookfield, Mad. Co., N.Y., Nov. 3, 1850, in the 23d year of her age. She experienced religion about six years since, but by neglect of duty, lost its enjoyment. In the early part of her sickness, the Lord restored unto her the light of his countenance. Her friends mourn, but not as those without hope. May they meet her in heaven. W.G. Queal, Brookfield, March 12, 1851
Mr. E.L. Safford
Mr. E.L. Safford, died in Pekin, N.Y. [Niagara Co.], Feb. 22, 1851, aged 38 years. His disease was consumption of the lungs, which has carried off the most of the family, as only the youngest daughter remains. Br. S. was converted about five years since, under the labors of Rev. D. Nichols. He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church directly, and lived a faithful member till he closed his life. In his sickness, for six months last past, he evinced unyielding faith and undying hope in a risen Christ. He left a widow and one child. D.B. Lawton
