Rev. Benjamin Rowland departed this life on Saturday, the 3d inst., at the advanced age of eighty-eight years. The subject of this sketch was gathered in like the "shock of corn fully ripe," closing a long and eventful life in the triumphs of the Christian faith. He was born in Lyme, Conn., on the 12th of January, 1784. With his parents he came to Burlington, Otsego County, when eight years old, and remained with them growing up and laboring in clearing up the then wilderness until manhood. Possessed of a strong constitution, a remarkably retentive memory and vigorous intellect, he early acquired an education that enabled him to engage during the winter months in teaching school, which he did for seven or eight winters. In 1809 he was married to Miss Seraph Sweetser, who, with Gen. H. Rowland, Eli Rowland, Mrs. Clara Babcock and Mrs. Louisa Leet, his children, survives him after more than sixty years of wedded companionship. About 1812 he became interested in his spiritual welfare and soon after united with the Open Communion Baptist church and almost immediately became a preacher and afterwards an ordained evangelist. His extraordinary gifts and energy made him a pillar in the society. His labors were always arduous, but always attended with bounteous success, so that for seven years at one period, he was in a continuous revival. The circuit of his travels embraced a large district, but every portion seemed to be alike blessed with spiritual awakening in his presence. About the year 1821, he removed to this town [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY] and, save ten years of the time at Binghamton, has made Sherburne his home and been identified with its interests. During his ministry he baptized over 800 persons and attended nearly as many funerals. For all the latter service rendered he never received but $3. It is only about four years since he retired from active service in the church. On the Sunday previous to his death, he attended the Freewill Baptist church on Sherburne Hill, where he listened to a discourse from Mr. Solomon Hoxie, in which he manifested great interest, and frequently spoke of it during the week. In his last hour he made choice of Mr. Hoxie to preach his funeral sermon and selected for his text Rev. XIV, 13th verse: "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." This he named but a few minutes before his death and closed his last moments apparently addressing to his surrounding family the words: "Trust in the Lord." His funeral took place on Monday and was largely attended, all feeling that a faithful father and wise counsellor had passed from earth.
