Deaths

In New York City, on the 10th inst., Jennie C. [Squires], eldest child of the late Selah Squires, Esq., of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], aged 17 years.  This sore and sudden bereavement has fallen with crushing weight on the household of which she was a member, and on the circle of associates and friends by whom she was cherished and beloved. Visiting in this city of New York and expecting soon to return home, she was borne hither in the sleep of death.  Kind, gentle, affectionate, dutiful, she has been hastily summoned from the pleasant associations where these qualities were developed, with but a slight consciousness that her departure was near.  In the beauty and bloom of seeming health, she has faded as a vision from our sight.  Yet carefully and religiously reared we can believe that she was ready for the hasty call from her Lord.  May the young hear the warning, "be ye also ready."  And may the members of the household to whom this severe trial has come be sustained in their sorrow by that blessed One who has a heart of infinite sympathy for His bruised and stricken ones.

In this town [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on the 14th inst., Mr. Andrew Wagner, aged 76 years.  The deceased was an old inhabitant of this town, generally known and respected as an upright man, and a consistent Christian.  About six weeks ago he met with a severe loss in the death of his companion.  The loss he felt most keenly and yet his trust in God was unshaken.  Little did sympathizing friends think they would so soon mourn his loss.  But he is gone.  He sleeps that blessed sleep of the righteous from which none ever wake to weep.  The family of which he was the head, feels an irreparable loss.  The church of which he was a consistent and faithful member feels his loss.  All who knew him will feel the loss, but our loss is his eternal gain.

In New Ohio [Broome Co., NY], on the 16th inst., Mrs. Nancy Cook, aged 80 years.

In Smyrna [Chenango Co., NY], on the 18th inst., Hon. Solomon S. Hall, aged 61 years.
