J. E. & E. N. TYUS

By J. E. Tyus; E. N. Tyus

FELL asleep in Jesus on the afternoon of Aug. 21, 1860, after a short illness, our youngest child, Alice Jane, aged three years and twenty-five days. Her sufferings were great until near the close, when, as though angels smoothed her dying pillow, she grew calm, and quietly breathed out her last. She sleeps with an infant brother whom she saw laid to rest some eight months previous.

We feel our loss deeply, but are comforted with the thought that God does not afflict willingly, and that whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. We feel that it is his will, and submit.

Bro. Gurney of Jackson, Mich., made some cheering remarks from 1 Thess. iv, 13–18, and sung,

“She hath passed death’s chilling billow, And gone to rest; Jesus smoothed her dying pillow— Her slumbers blest.”
