Death

In Oneonta [Otsego Co. NY], Dec. 31, 1852, of Consumption, Mrs. Jane E. [Scofield] wife of Mr. William H. Scofield aged 34 years.

She bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and in the darkest, saddest hour, triumphed over man's last enemy, death, by exhibiting a faith in the soul's immortality clear, bright and glorious.  She has left husband, children and friends to whom she had endeared herself by many amiable dualities of heart and acts of kindness during her life.

At a special meeting of the Oneonta Tent, No. 562, I.O. of R. of which Mr. Scofield is a member, it was resolved that we drebly sympathize with our afflicted brother and that while he remembers with grief the irreparable loss he has sustained, we hope he will not forget that he has a band of brothers who will rally around him, willing each and all to share his grief and lighten his burthen, until called hence by the high Chief Ruler, to meet the glorified spirit of her he loved in the Tent of everlasting peace.
