In this place, Nov. gath, 1863, JULIA A,
wife Of DR.. JoHN G. HOUSE, daughter Of the
late PASCAL p PRArr, of Buffalo, N. Y.
She was born in Buffalo, Feb 9th, 1920. be-
came a subject of divine grace at'the early age
Of sixteen years, and was baptised by Rev.
Elisha Tucker into the fellowship of the lst
Baptist Church, of the same place, in 1896.
She was married to her now bereaved husband,
in ls4l. Since the time off conversion she
has endeavored to adorn her christian profess
ion, and to magnify the grace whereunto she
was called. Some two and n halfiyears since,
she, with her companion and family, removed
to this place, united with the Baptist Church,
yet its infancy, struggling as il were for
life, and at once endeavored to make herself
useful in every department for its advance
ment, and for the good of the cause in general
The Church soon learned to appreciate her
counsels, energy Of character, executive abili
ty, active zeal, large benevoence, and the
throbbings of her warm, sympathetic heart
Yes the membership of the Church soon learn
ed to love and confide in her. She appears to
have been born for action, with nature alive
to everything around her, and with heart to
sympathize with every laudable enterprise
She never appeared more happy or more ut
home, than when planning or executing some
scheme in the cause of benevolence, or for the
benefit of those around her. There was one
object which commanded large place in her
affections and in her thoughts, that was the
erection of house of worship where Gods COW
enant people might bring their influence more
directly to bear for the promotion of the Re-
deemer's kingdom But the Lord has seen fit
to cut her short in this purpose, and in her ac-
tive sphere Of usefulness. She was an affec-
tionate wife. a devoted mother, dutiful
daughter, allowing sister, and a true friend.
Firm and decided in her principles, vet catho-
lie in her feelings towards those who differ
from her, unobtrusve and modest in her in
tercourse with others, yet out-spoken and I'M
compromising, where she regarded principle to
be involved. Those who knew her best, APP
preciated her worth most. To really know
her was to esteem and love her. She leaves to
mourn her loss, a husband, two sons, mother,
n brother and sister, and large circle of kin
and friends. Two of her children, a son and
daughter half of the number died before her,
and were in readiness to greet her on the other
side of Jordon. The life of the mother, at the
time of her death, (who resided with her and
had oil her wants cared for.) was almost dis
paired of, hut now the indications are more
hopeful. She has been wonderfullH supported
in this sore bereavement, by that grace which
enabled her daughter to triumph over the last
enemy. By her request her remains were ia
ken to st. Louis, Mo-. and inferred in the
Bellefountain Cemetery, by the side of her low
ed son and twin brother Her only brother,
who resides in that city, on receiving the in
telligence of her illness, FASTENED to see her,
yet little too late to greet her alive, and wit
ness her tokens of sisterly kindness, but in
time to accompany hr remains to their last
resting place.
