son cemetery, and the funeral services were |
held at the Congregational church, of |
which church Mr.. Wilson was member. |
Rev. Mr.. Severance of Orwell conducted |
the services, assisted by Rev. Mr.. Munger
of Benson. After reading the 103d psalm
Mr.. Severance gave sketch of the life of
Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson was boin IN
Whiting. AT the age of seven years he
came to Benson to live with his foster par
ents, the excellent Mr.. and Mrs. Solomon
Needham. He lived in Benson until nine
years ago, when he purchased the Touring
mill in Hortonsville, and removed to that
place, where he has since resided. He was
elected by the people of Hubbardton to the
last legislature. While in Montpelier he
took severe cold, which resulted in that
fearful disease, consumption. AT the APP
proach of cold weather he lett his home
for a warmer climate, Tut too late, for he
but Just reached Baltimore to die at that
place. Still be was happy and glad that
he made the effort to reach a warmer eli
mate, but more happy and more glad to go
home to the warm embraces of his heavenly
father. Mr.. Severance took for his text
the words. "Like as father pitieth his
children, so doth the Lord pity them
that fear him." Mr.. s. said that all nature
leads us up TO God, but at times we needed
something stronger than nature to lead us
above the clouds aud darkness of earth
and at such times words like the text came
to us to draw us up to the all Father. That
our dearest friends can never love and pity
us. as God loves and pities his children
Mr.. S. pictured the kind, tender. loving
care and pity of the earthly parent and
then the kind loving care and pity of the
heavenly father as much greater than that
of the earthly, as God is greater than man.
That God was greater teacher than man.
That God was more forbearing than man.
In conclusion Mr.. s. said that God held his
own plans, that if we knew not now we
should know hereafter that as the miner
digs out the stone and carves and polishes
it for its place in the earthly temple, SO
God digs down into the quarries of earth,
and from the rough material carves and
polishes until ii is fitted to adorn the
heavenly temple; and then removes it to
its place. And this is why the good and
the noble of earth die. No words could
| eXageratc the goodness and kindness of
| Henry Wilson. AS business man, he was
| always kind, true and honest never
| making enemies but always friends and
| everywhere the model christian. The day
was stormy, but the house was crowded
with friends from Orwell, Hubbardton and
Benson, who braved the storm TO show
their friendship and respect. The services
were closed by the choir singing the hymn
at iAnot death to die" and many left the
house feeling it was not death for our
brother Henry Wilson. E,LB.
