We are requested to clip from a late
issue of the ArgeS and Patriot the follow
ing notice of the late Mrs. Joseph Chur-
chill: Eliza Ann Russell, wife of Jo-
seph Churchill, was born in Stowe, Oc-
tober s, 1915, and died June IA, 1886.
She married Joseph Churchill in 1888,
and with him shared the joys and sor-
rows of welded life for SO years. In
early life she became converted and
united with the Baptists, but soon after
her marriage joined the Methodists, with
whom she has since remained, a consis-
tent and worthy member. She had been
in falling health for a number of years,
but the disease did not occasion alarm
until about four months since. 1t was
observed by her friends that she was
gradually wasting away, and all that
kindness could do or physicians prescribe,
could not save her, and there was no
discharge in that war; For many weeks
it was thought every day would be her
last, but He who knows best and 'doeth
all things well' permitted the patient
sufferer to live yet a little longer. At
length the messenger came to her relief,
whispering tenderly, sweetly peacefully,
it is enough, come up higher and behold
my glory! and the spirit took its flight
to a higher and better life. The husband,
who still survives, is in a feeble state of
health, and was unable to visit her room
for six weeks previous to her death. He
is sad and lonely now. The words of
cheer which fell from her lips will be
heard no more. The kindly greeting,
the sympathizing tear. the unwearied eff
forts to make home pleasant and attrac-
tive are all past, and she who so faithful
ly bore the anne of wife and mother has
gone, but only a little in advance. There
is to be a reunion bye and bye, and He
who is faithful unto death shall receive a
crown of life She also leaves a o and
daughter to mourn the loss of a mothers
love and a mothers prayers. One sister,
Mrs. Belknap. of Qtaremont, N. H., sur
wives her."
