Mrs. Phebe Cushman Thayer died in
Braintree, Vermont, Nov. II, 1898, aged |
IS years, 10 months. 1t is with humble /
gratitude for herl loving, helpful life that |
we write these words in sacred memory. |
Her death occurred at the house of a sis |
ter, near the home where many OF her |
youthful days were spent. She was a
member of the Methodist church for more |
than fifty years, and though much of the |
time unable to attend the church of her |
choice, she worked patiently and faith /
fully for the Master as opportunity was
afforded. To know her was to love her,
and many lonely hearts to-day testify to |
her sweet sympathy and loving helpful |
ness. She was always cheerful and trust |
full, and in the many hours of severe trial |
she was able to say, 'God cares for me.
know whom have believed and am 1
persuaded that He is able to keep that
which have committed unto HIM. Thus
her heart was hidden with Christ in God. |
