Deaths

At South New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], on Wednesday last after a short but painful illness, Mrs. Patience Dexter, wife of Peleg Dexter, aged 43 years, 3 months and 25 days.   In the death of this amiable and pious woman, the husband has lost a valuable companion, her children a kind and tender mother, and the church a worthy member. We trust she died as she had lived for more than 18 years, an exemplary and devoted Christian.  In the spring of 1817, as she frequently expressed it, the Lord, for Christ's sake, pardoned her sins.  She soon after united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which she remained much respected and beloved until she was called to join the Church triumphant where congregations never break up nor Sabbaths ever end.  [Oct. 7, 1835]
