Died: In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], June 1st, Samuel R. Clarke, M.D., aged 50 years and 7 months. One dear to very many hearts, a kind friend and physician, has gone to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns. Many have watched with painful solicitude the insidious progress of disease; have seen the firm step falter, the cheek grow thin and pale, yet hoped almost against hope, that something would yet be found to restore health and strength, but all in vain. The death of Dr. Clarke is a public loss. He was a good citizen, generous, public spirited and hospitable. His presence in the family circle, the skill which ministered to weakness and pain, the words of comfort and encouragement which lightened the burden of sorrow, will be held in faithful memory. His willing hand in all which concerned the well being of his fellow man, is palsied in death, his place beside the altar and the hearth is vacant, but his name is linked with too many sad and tender associations to be soon forgotten.

The removal from our midst, by the hand of death, of beloved friends, furnishes the occasion of retracing the treasured traits of character by which they were endeared to us, and increases the sense of our bereavement in the loss we have sustained. And pre-eminently is this the fact, when to qualities of native excellence, there is added the power of Christian virtues and graces. A most devoted Christian wife and mother has left a void in the home circle which none but they who suffer under this bereavement can understand and appreciate. Warm and devoted in her attachment to the Church of her affections, consistent in her walk as a Christian disciple, delighted in every token that marked the prosperity of the Church, and constant and cordial in the manifestation of her interest in all that was involved in the fulfilment of her duty, she has left the testimony so full of comfort, that her life was hid with Christ in God. In the Church's chastened services, her affections were deeply rooted, and year by year she found those services to embrace and embody the life of holy obedience. With the earliest history of the Church in this community she was warmly identified, and in all ways by which in her sphere, its prosperity could be promoted, she was cordially devoted to the promotion of that end and object. It is one of the special results of the Church's influence in developing the Christian character, that it is the quiet graces that are evolved under her hallowed teaching and culture. And therefore it is that the very absence of one-sided forms of religious development is the highest commendation due to the influence by the Gospel through the Church. In the remembrance of this thought we have the secret of that tranquil power by which the true believer in the Church is reared to the stature of the life of holiness. Calmly and gently the Christian life flows on, with nothing obtrusive to mark it, because so well proportioned and just and true in its balance. And as the life of the true Christian wife and mother and friend is passed in quiet duties and gentle offices, so when the call from the Master cometh, the departure is gentle and sweet and peaceful. The same humble, submissive spirit breathes forth, whether it be for life or death. Hallowed by the memory of such, and gratefully do we remember that the Church of our love finds it her mission to unfold such forms of piety for duty here and for blessedness beyond the grave.

"My Lord hath need of these flowerets gay, / The Reaper said and smiled, / Dear tokens of the earth are they, / Where he was once a child; / They all sha'l bloom in fields of light, / Transplanted by my care, / And saints upon their garments bright, / These sacred blossoms wear."
