Death of Matilda Bounds

By Wm. Cottrell

DIED, in Licking, Co., Ohio, May 23, 1876, after a protracted illness, sister Matilda Bounds, aged seventy-seven years, one month, and six days. She embraced the present truth about 17 years ago, and has loved it ever since. The writer has been intimately associated with her since last November. Her consistent life won my affections and great confidence in her as a child of God. We shall greatly miss her cheering testimonies in our Sabbath meetings. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, to the friends and neighbors at her funeral, from 1 Cor. 15: 12–19. Wm. Cottrell.
