OBITUARIES.

Mrs. ]. Addison Perkins whose
sudden death we recorded last week
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ambrose Dennis-Mr. Dennis being
a noted Pilot Of the Fleetwood and
now on the Telegraph,-was born
in Parkersburg w. Va, a. d. 1880
and was consequently at the time OF
her death q years Of age. She was
twice married, first at the age
of 30 years to Mr.. Charles Vanden by
whom she left one child, a beautiful
boy at the tender age of 6years. She
was married to Mr.. Perkins on the
twenty-second day Of April 1876,
since which time she had resided
with her estimable husband, a step
son of Henry l. Fisher, in the town
of Point Pleasant.
Mrs. Perkins was beloved by all
who knew her. OF a gentle DISPOSE,
ton and attractive person, we could
perceive but little outward change
in her department from the period
of her connection with the PTesbytcr-
ian Church in Point Pleasant down
to the time Of her death. She loved
her church, and few weeks pre-
yious to her sudden departure, mani
tested an unusual interest in the
cause of religion and the future of
her only child. Little did she then
think Of the end so near-God was
dealing with her and secretly prepar-
ing her for II trial from which the
stoutest heart with no grace tosup-
port, would have Shrunk-the trial
came-she simply, and sweetly as a
child turned to Jesus and fell asleep.
Terrible as was the calamity that
had fallen upon her we were all made
to feel the power of the christians
faith in the hour and article Of death.
o with those new experiences could
she have lived! Rather let US cx-
claim in view of such u death
"Oh for the pearly gates Of heaven!
Oh for the golden floor
Oh for the sun OF Righteousness
That setteth ncyermore!"

Henry Wiegand died at the home
of his mother, near Letart, w. Va.
April the 1st, aged about Is years
The funeral sermon was preached on
Tuesday II A. NJ. by the writer i'm
mediately after which he was taken
to the family burying ground and
buried according to the Ritual of the
NJ L. Church. He was raised Il
PRESBYTERIAN and was baptiscd in
that faith in infancy, and though
his name in mature age was not
written upon any church record Oh
earth the facts are sufficient to war
rant us in saying that his name was
written in the Lambs Book of Eter-
nal Life" Notwithstanding hispa
tiality for the Church of his parents
he was decidedly attached to the NJ.
+, Church of which lis surviving
companion is an acceptable member;
In health he was kind, courtc"Rand
gentlemanly; in his illness which
v Was protracted and painful, he was
patient submissive and prayerful,
frequently exprcssing his willingness
to submit to the will of his Heaven
" Father, exhorting his friends to
weep not for him but to meet him in
that Land where parting is nomorc.
To his deeply bereqvcd companion,
his widowed mother and other sor-
rowing friends we tender cur warm
est sympathies and pray that after
all the storms of life are past We may
all meet in that Rest that remains
for the people of God.
L. D. W. KING.
Died at her residence in Robinson
District, March the 9th, 1877 Eliza
beth Ann Hardwick, in the 50th
year of her age. Her illness was Sc.
we're and protracted, but she bore all
her pain with christian fortitudc.-
She had been member of the L. B.
church for twenty years. She was a
christian woman, doing good in her
sphere of life, ever kind and atten.
tive. What the Savior said Of one of
the New Testament may be said Of
her-"She has done what she could"
She leaves large family to mourn
her loss. Scar friends, let us follow
on and meet her-"Where the wick
cd cease from troubling, and the
weary are at rest" H.
Mrs. Sarah J. Hoover died at her
residence near this place, on Monday
the ID day of April, 1877, in the 46th
year of her age.
