On Otsdawa Hill [Otsego Co. NY] Jan. 17th, 1873, Mrs. Julia Houghton wife of Luther Houghton, aged 33 years, after an illness of four days of brain fever.
The deceased was an exemplary member of the Christian church. she leaves a family of four small children to mourn the loss of a mother's care and protection. May our Heavenly Father keep that family from the many snares and temptations which are ever placed in the way of the young and may they be directed in the pathway of virtue and obedience to our Heavenly Father's will; and to the bereaved husband, I feel to drop the sympathizing tear with him in his deep affliction; and I feel that this community has lost one of its brightest lights and the church one of its brightest members. I hope that God will give the husband grace in his deep afflictions and trials which he may have to encounter, to bear manfully, this chastening rod of affliction.
I know I must die; my departure is at hand, / To leave this vain world at God's command; / My journey is ended, my work is now done, / My passport is sealed for a joyful home.
What though I must pass through death's dark vale, / I fear not its gloom, nor its terror to assail; / And quickly I'll sing a glorious song, / For Jesus has saved me, to him I belong.
Farewell dear companion, for a season farewell, / The Lord is my portion and all is well; / For I hope that beyond the great swelling river, / To meet with you and live forever.
Farewell dear father that has passed on before, / I am coming to join you on the evergreen shore, / And soon I shall pass beyond the tide, / To live with my Saviour, the crucified.
Farewell dear mother that I almost adore, / I am going to leave you for heaven's bright shore; / And when I am gone, O, drop not a tear, / Far better to weep for those that are here.
Farewell dear brother, you cling to my heart, / Sometimes I am sad to think we must part; / Yet soon we may meet in the land of the blest, / Where no tears are shed and the weary are at rest.
Farewell dear sisters so loving and true, / I would almost stay to be a sister to you, / But 'tis Jesus that calls, and I must obey, / While angels are beckoning me away.
Farewell dear neighbors that have been so kind, / I now must go and leave you behind; / O meet me in heaven in glory to stay, / And with angels to sing in an endless day.
