Seldom has it fallen to our lot to record the deaths of any persons more worthy of a passing tribute, than the two whose names form the heading of this paragraph.  The relatives of the deceased by this sudden dispensation of Providence have sustained an afflictive and irreparable loss, a loss which in view of numberless virtues, time alone, aided by the teaching of our Lord and Master can repair.

Long too, will their names be held in sacred remembrance by an extensive circle of friends and acquaintances and often will tears of heartfelt sorrow mingle and fall to the memories of these, the virtuous dead.  But not only in relation of friend and neighbor did they bear a conspicuous part, for in higher and holier connections than these they were wont to mingle and drink deeply at the fount of Piety and Worth.  Having for many years been communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church, they lived as becometh good and faithful members of the same. and numbers in this village have, while they occasionally tarried with us, knelt at the same altar and mingled their voices in unison at the throne of supplication. But they are gone and to their remaining friends have left examples well worthy of imitation, forasmuch as their departure was crowned with that calmness and submission, which characterizes the devoted followers of the cross.
