Obituary

 Died, on the 14^th., an infant son of S.I. and A. A. RUDD, aged 3 months and 17 days.

 

Lift up my suffering, O Lord,

Let grief my soul no longer bow,

Thou grievest us with an all wise intent,

Though missed and mourned my child must be,

This deep affliction thou hast sent,

Shall closer bind my heart to thee.

 

Sweet words of comfort I have read,

‘Till hope, sublimest faith, become

What Jesus in Judea said,

 

When children for his blessing come,

Yet last and loved through coming years,

How many sighs must uttered be,

How many silent thoughts and tears.

 

In the cold grave, without a stain,

When the long night shall pass away.

Most Holy, Merciful and Just,

Be my complaining heart forgiven;

To thee I have yielded my darling trust,

DIED, on the 19^th inst., of consumption, MARY JANE, aged 20 years, daughter of Mrs. Jane MOFFETT, and niece of the editor of this newspaper.

 But a few months since this young person was in our midst, enjoying the blessings of health and hope, but the disease, which had, perhaps, for years been gnawing at her lungs, developed itself with fearful rapidity, and terminated in death.  In her last hours she manifested a living faith in her Savior, and declared her entire confidence in her prospect of happiness beyond the grave. Her friend although they severely feel their loss, re consoled with the refection that it is her eternal gain.

 

DIED, on the 25 th., instant, WILLIAM C. SMITH, ESQ., aged 44 years, of cholera.

 Mr. SMITH, was one among the numbers of our high minded honorable citizens, just in all his dealings, charitable to the poor, faithful to his friends, and an affectionate husband and parent, and we believe a sincere Christian. His death was sudden, but of its approach he was sensible, and, without fear or dismay, made deliberately preparation for the event, making his will, and giving directions for his funeral, retaining his sense almost to the last breath.

  His Masonic brethren were prevented from burying him with the ceremony of the order, as they intended and wished to do, but in their hearts he is held in affectionate remembrance.

OBITUARY

Died, yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, Mr. BENJAMIN SMITH, in the 68^th year of his age.

  Mr. Smith immigrated to this county from the State of Ohio, about thirteen years ago, and had been a resident of this town during that term, he has always distinguished himself in a straight forward, upright and independent course of conduct. He was an exemplary member of the Methodist Church, and a constant attendant on its ministrations. He always remembered “the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” and it distressed him to see the day desecrated by secular and worldly employments or sports. In dealings he was scrupulously just and punctual. When called to render us his account it may be truly said he did it “with joy and not with grief.”

  Mr. Smith was a man of large stature, possessing uncommon health and strength for a person of his age, until within a few months past, for the last four weeks he sank rapidly with an affection of the lungs, but had some weeks notice of his approaching dissolution, but qualified not the thought of death, he rather murmured at its delay, and at last he met his end in the triumph of a Christian’s faith, with full assurance of a blessed immorality.

ENGLAND – The libel suit of D. Archille, against D. Newman, who charges Archide, an apostate Roman priest, with numerous seductions, debauchries etc. has terminated with a verdict of guilty of one charge only.

Obituary

DIED, on the 13^th inst., in the 56 year of his age, of Consumption, at his residence in Spencer County, Ia., Bro. Garnet Haynes. He bore with Christian fortitude his protracted illness. The deceased was an acceptable member of the Methodist Church and a devoted Christian. His faith was unshaken in all sickness, his hope was “as an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast,” his love to God and man was ardent and his joy uninterrupted and complete to the last. The faithful pilgrim has run his race, the bold and intrepid soldier has won his crown and now enjoys “that real that remaineth to the people of God.”

 “Heaven’s eternal spring shall yet arrive, And man’s majestic beauty bloom again, Bright through the eternal year of love’s triumphant reign.”        J. H. S.
