who with two other kindred spirits
founded Aebury NJ. X. Sabbath school In
1918, was an amlable and devoted chris

vance the interests OF the Redeemer's
Kingdom. She married Rev. Jesse Ford,
of Brandywine Hundred, local preacher
OF prominence. After being an earnest
worker at Bethel for many Years she re-
moved with her family to Philadelphia.
She and her honored husband were
active In church enterprise. After his

suffering she died at the residence OF her
daughter, Mrs. Alfred /. Derrickson, and

RUTH SOLOMON,
lady OF fervent piety, was the first OF
her family who espoused the cause of the
lowly Nazarene. Wherever she went abe
carried with her the hallowed influence
of holy life. She was all untiriug
worker In the Sabbath school. The good

made on young hearts there the records
OF eternity alone will reveal. She mar
ried Rev. Edward Kennard, and with

church and Sabbath school; would walk
from her home In the Ninth ward through
winters storms and summers heat, to

T ersopal feelings do not permit me TO say
more, as by marriage she became my
mother.
JANE CAREY
was one Of the mo- remarkably ener-
getic and JEALOUS Christians; was the
daughter of Andrew aud Mary Ann
Carey (who rests in the rear OF the
church.) The entire family were wholly
copsecrated to the work OF their Master.
One OF them was Mrs. Ann G. Farra,
(aitsrward Robinsoa) mother OF the
beautiful and sanity Eliza Jane Vande-
yer, whose son, Aubrey Vandever Is a
prominent Methodist at Clayton, Del.
Another is Mrs. Martha Carey Robinson.
who was an ildeiatigable laborer In the
Sabbtah school, and is now an exemplary
aud useful member OF Grace Church.
The subject Of this sketch was first mar
ried to David Webster (of precious
memory then to James Thomas, Gather
of Jno. U. Thomas) and with him &C.
lively engaged In every work that tend ed
to the glory Of God. She was the mother
Of Rev. Samuel W. Thomas, an eminent
ministero of the Philadelphia Conference,
aud j. Edwin Thomas, a prominent lay
man OF Chester, Pa. Later in life she

ELIZA A. BRoBsoN ..
was born of Quaker parentaRe, and
through much opposition became a Meth
odist; she was an earnest aud efficient
worker in the Sabbath echo,l and every
| department OF church work. She was a
sister TO William z. Brobson, ESQ, for
many years Cashier Of Union Bank. She
was petite In figure, graceful In mar
ners aud majestic In intellect. It was
only for her to be convinced of duty and
che unilinchlngly performed it, Life to
her was not all sunshine; she literally
"failed through bloody seas" Her life
sequel was q sad one; after enduring
years OF intense sutIering-mental and
physieal-she sweetly entered into eternal
rest at the insane asylum, Frankford,
Pa, and to day my clllIhood's friend
and first Sabbath school teacher sleeps in
an unmarked grave in Friends Burial
Ground ut Fourth and West streets.
