Death

In this town [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] on the first day of December last, Mr. Jacob Boomhour in the 63d year of his age.  During a confinement of three weeks Mr. Boomhour bore his afflictions with entire submission to the will of heaven and died in full assurance that he was an heir of that rest that remains for the people of God.  He was a subject of early piety and ever adorned his profession by a close walk with his God.  He stood as a pillar in the temple of the new Jerusalem.  He was faithful in warning sinners to repent and flee from the wrath to come.  But alas! he is gone, and society mourns his loss. The weary pilgrim's, travelers through this veil of tears, found a safe retreat beneath the shadow of his roof.  Many a disciple of Jesus has been refreshed of his earthly store and found satisfaction to their soul whilst they have joined around the family altar and there poured out their souls to God.  But ah! why do we mourn for him, better to weep for ourselves, for his troubles are over, the battle is fought, the victory is won, and we have reason to believe that his spirit has joined the blood washed throng and is now singing the son of Moses and the Lamb.
