_________________________

In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY] on the 6th inst. Mr. Thomas Lewis in the 55th year of his age.

Mr. Lewis was for many years a member of the Baptist Church in this place.  He was a brother of great worth.  He ever manifested a deep interest in the welfare of Zion.  He rejoiced in the days of her prosperity and in the days of her adversity, he mourned.  He was a man of sound judgment and deep Christian sympathies.  In his last days, he was not troubled respecting his future home.  He knew the depravity of the human heart, but he had a strong hold on the merits, mercies and promises of the Saviour.  In his death, the widow mourns the loss of a kind husband, the son an affectionate father, the church a wise counsellor and society an industrious and valuable member.  "The righteous hath hope in his death."

In his case how true the language of the poet:

"So fades a summer cloud away; / So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; / So gently shuts the eye of day; / So dies a wave along the shore."
