A Solitary Adventist in Wisconsin
G. Hoxsey writes from Farmington, La Cross Co., Wis., May 21st, 1858: "I have not seen, as I know of, any sort of Adventists since I left R. I., and that was four years the 17th of last month. There are some here that say they believe in the Advent doctrine, but they agree well with the world's people. I would like to see Bro. Bates once more, as he used to call at my house when I lived in North Scituate, R. I. I often think, shall we ever meet on the new earth? I met once with Bro. White in Conn. I should like to have them call at my shanty if I had money enough to pay their fare here and back, and give them ten dollars each to help them on their way; but here I am, an old man, about worn out, tied up in this strange land, I do not know but to die alone without a consoling word from any christian man or woman."
