________________________

In Otsego [Otsego Co. NY] July 14th of cancer Cynthia [Bristol] wife of Sherman Bristol aged 62 years.

As a wife, mother, neighbor and member of the Christian church at Hartwick [Otsego Co. NY] her life was filled with useful deeds and enabling qualities of heart and soul.  During her long and painful sickness, she at all times expressed her faith in the supreme efficiency of the all perfect sacrifice of Christ.

The Divine precepts of the Bible had for many years guided her useful and happy life.  Her home was a sanctuary of domestic virtues and of warmly reciprocated affections.  She blessed her husband and sons and cast her hope on one all-powerful to sustain and mighty to save and sleeps in peace.  She is dead, but liveth, for he who is the resurrection and the life has declared, "Whoso believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. and whosoever loveth and beliveth in me shall never die."
