Deaths

Thus, has suddenly, after a few weeks sickness, passed to her heavenly home, one who was endeared to a large circle of friends in this community, by her many noble qualities of character.  Faithful in all the relations of life, as a Christian disciple, as a daughter, sister and friend, she has left many saddened hearts to grieve over her early departure hence.  Full of life, energy, joyousness, self-sacrificing where duty called her, a strong prop in the household relationships, ready for any duties which claimed her attention, she fulfilled the requisition of the wise man of Proverbs, whatsoever thy hand badeth to do, do it with thy might.  Genial, frank, confiding in her disposition she readily won and retained the confidence of those whom she called friends.  The natural attributes of her character pervaded her religious life.  She had none of the affections of piety, yet with the deep earnestness of her nature she was most devoted to the Church of her affections.  And in the enjoyment of the solaces which that Church furnishes she passed through "the grave and gate of death" with a joyful hope through her Redeemer, of a Resurrection unto life. The respect and esteem felt for her were manifested by the attendance of a very large number of friends at the funeral services.  "If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleeps in Jesus will God bring with him."
