in 1866, settled IN Padueah, where he was elected
an Elder Of the church. and was greatly beloved
and esteemed By all till his death.
His health had been feeble for many months
past. The gradual approach of death gave him
time to think and speak often of his hope and pros
pect for eternity. He had a strong faith, and q
clear view OF Christ as a personal Saviour. DE
was modest, quiet, resigned and cheerful He had
no ecstacy, out an abiding confidence, and died as
he had lived, an humble true and faithful Chris

for life OF briliancy as vOtary Of the world, she
chose rather to be numbered with the people Of
God and, while upon the vestibule Of life, united
with the Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville,
Va, giving herself to the Saviour, and living
consistent and happy life as a Christian.
Her end was peaceful Though her bodily suf
ferings were very great, she enjoyed entire peace
and resignation of spirit. When no longer able
to speak being asked if she had any fear of death,
her face kindled with bright smile which seemed
to say, "Oh no, death has no sting for me-
On Sabbath evening, just as tie sun was setting
her gentle form, covered with white flowers, was
laid to rest in Old Blandford. Many tears bedew
the sacred spot Many hearts ache for the loss Of
one so loving and so loved. But voice fingers in

sorrow, Weep not she is not dead but sleepeth.
