Among those who now sleep in Jesus,
is Miss Eliza L. Hyde, who was born in
Albany, W., April 4th. 1884, and died in
Lowell, Mass, June Sd, 1865; being 81
years of age. -Four years ago last fall,
she left home and went to work in a
family in Lowell, where she remained
until her death. Her constitution was
naturally good, but of late years, her
health has been poor, the results Of Sc
we're attacks of sickness, and overworking
lin taking care of the sick. A short time
previously to her death, she was in some
way, not certainly known, exposed TO
Small Pox; probably by going into a
Grocery Store, where the Man in atten
dence was infected with the disease
She began to be unwell, nearly three
weeks before her death. The disease
progressed very rapidly, until Saturdy
morning, June Sd, when she fell asleep.
The disease affected her brain, very soon
after she was taken sick hence, her
friends had but little opportunity for con
versation with her during her sickness
Her brother Joseph, residing in Nashua.
n. H., went to see her three times, but
on account of the contagious and fataI
character of the disease, was not permits
ted to converse with her. 1t Is a grea;
satisfaction 20 her friends, in Albany, to
know that -he had all the care and sym
pathy that the tenderest friendship could
render; even more, if possible, than she
could have received in her own home,
for she was surrounded with means and
facilities, scarcely to be enjoyed in the
May Heaven in infinite mercy
reward and bless all those
who loved her, and ministered to her dy-
ing wants so tenderly.
She is uniformly represented to me,
by her neighbors here, as having been a
very amiable n interesting young
Lady: Buoyant, affrctionate, and self |
sacrificing, she never failed to make her
self beloved, and hence all who enjoy ed
her acquaintance will deeply mourn her
loss.
Her religious experience was ofa deep
and thrilling character, as her letters to
her Mother abundantly prove. Abont
three years ago, she was converted to
God, under the labors of Rev. DR.. Blan
chard of Lowell, and was soon baptized
aod united herself with the Congregation
alist Church of which Dr.. B. was pastor.
Her death was precious in the sight OF
the Lord and her memory is blessed.
To those who mourn, both here and in the
place where she died, l would say =
Your afliction is great, but your comfort
is also great and precious. She will sui
fer no more be tempted no more she
is now with Christ, consciously happy
and the word of the Lord is pledged for
her future glorious resurrection and eter-
nal blessedness with Christ in heaven.
The brother of the deceased, from whom
you have not for years been permitted
to hear, is in the eye of the God Of
Abraham, alive; for, He is not God
of the dead, but of the living And il
faithful, you shall see them again, with
other loved ones, now sleeping in Jesus,
and be caught up together with them, to
meet the Lord in the air; : and so shall
you and they be reunited, and 'even be
with the Lord Wherefore comfort one
another with these words. AMEN.
