Died, April End, in Troy, New York, ABRAHAM
NASH, aged 81 years.
The deceased was in many respects remarkable
man. Self-made, he grew up with the city of Troy,
earning for himself high place in the estimation of
its citizens by his strict integrity and piety.
He, in connexion with Miss Van Ness, organized
the first Sunday school formed in the city 1t met
in the Court House before any Presbyterian church
was organized and Produced by its novelty, no lit
tie excitement and opposition. Hon. VIM. l.. Yam
cy was one of its first pupils. Duing the whole of
his active life he was warm friend to the Sunday
school cause, frequently visiting strange schools,
and giving rewards for Scripture Rotations of which
the Srd chapter of Solomon's Songs was favoritr.
He was for many years member and the precentor
of the Second Presbyterian church-but in 1884
went off with colony to form the Second street
church, of which he was elected an elder at its Or
ganization-and remained in this connection until
his death, but owing to his nfrmities, he had for
ten years. ceased to act as an elder.
BE was gifted in prayer-and often called to min
lister at the bed of the sick and dying. He was
kind and charitable to the poor, and liberal to the
church. During the last few years, his mental pow
ers failed sensby, but his interest in religion was
ever the same He died, as he prayed that he
might, calmly and peacefully, "an old man and
full, Tor satisfed.J He has an only daughter,
(Mrs. Whipple) in the South, and other friends who
will cherish his memory kindly. 4.
