Death

In McGrawville [Cortland Co. NY], Dec. 25, 1848, departed this life, in peaceful hopes of a blessed resurrection, Mr. Albert L. Holmes aged 35 years.  In him was exhibited another evidence of the triumph of Christianity over suffering; for it was through much tribulation he was led to the better inheritance.  For several years confined to the house and latterly, for months, by wasting disease to his bed; it pleased God to reveal the Savior in him, and he was permitted to rejoice as the time of his departure arrived.  Eminently fitted for usefulness and in the prime of life, this bereavement is another proof that God's ways are mysterious and his judgments unsearchable, but we know Him who hath said "Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive and let thy widows trust in me."
