Post.— Amy Inez Bascom was born in Guthrie County, Iowa, Nov. 4, 1878, and died at the home of her sister, Mrs. G. C. Leitzman, near Red Level, Ala., Feb. 27, 1910, aged 31 years, 3 months, and 23 days. After completing her preliminary education in the public schools of Iowa she turned her attention to the study of medicine, graduating from the American Medical Missionary College in the year 1907. She early gave her heart to the Lord, uniting with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, of which she remained a faithful member until her death. Soon after completing her course in medicine she accepted a call to labor in the South, and connected with the Oakwood Manual Training School, at Huntsville, Ala., remaining a member of the faculty until illness compelled her to lay her work aside. She was married Jan. 12, 1910, to Leon C. Post, and leaves to mourn, besides her husband, a father, mother, three sisters, and five brothers, and also a large circle of friends and acquaintances who knew and loved her in life. She was a true Christian, and while she will be missed in the home and school, we are sure that she has joined that company of whom it can truly be said, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.” She was devoted to the work in the great Southern field, and her death calls loudly for others to step in and help finish the work, so that we may all be gathered home. The funeral service was held Feb. 6, 1910, at which Prof. F. W. Halladay, of the Oakwood School, spoke to a large concourse of sympathizing friends, from a text of her own choosing—Phil. 1: 21. We laid her away in the Fairmount Cemetery at Red Level, confident that she will come forth glorified when the Life-giver shall call his sleeping saints. Leon C. Post.
