This event is a most afflictive dispensation and has cast a gloom of sadness over the entire circle of the acquaintance of the deceased and has fallen with crushing weight upon the immediate family. She was cut down in the midst of life, while as yet, the apparent plans and purposes of life were not accomplished. But life is not to be measured by the number of years we live. "That life is long which answers life's great end."
Mrs. Field was the only daughter of Mr. Charles M. Hall, of North Norwich. In her 18th year she professed faith in Christ, and united with the Baptist church. She remained a faithful and worthy member of that Church until her marriage three years ago, when she went with her husband and united with the M.E. Church, with which she remained until her death. In her Chruch relations she was highly prized and had the esteem and affection of all who knew her. On account of her health, she did not mingle much in the social meetings of the Chruch, but in the home circle her religious character was marked. Affectionate, gentle, confiding, walking in the light of God's favor, always ready for communion with the Lord and Savior.
Faithful in her relations as daughter, sister, wife, in these connections her death is sadly felt. The blow was sudden, and yet it had been feared. Saturday morning dawned upon the household full of hope, and she herself was both hopeful and cheerful. But how transient are the fondest earthly expectations! Before another morning dawned, the object of hope had become the source of death, and our lamented sister at once became a mother and a corpse. A double bereavement, the mother and her infant were buried in the same grave.
The nature of her sickness precluded the possibility of parting words, but we look to a firm faith and consistent life as the criterion of Christian hope, and of God's approval. Surviving friends need not sorrow as those having no hope, for although religion cannot exempt us from the stern decree of death, it can and does destroy its power. The mother and child are laid aside in their last resting place, but our loss is their eternal gain.
"Pain no more that bosom lashes, / Death's grim work is over now; / Earth enclasps the dear one's ashes, / Angels wreathe the spirit's brow."
