DIED at her residence, in Ashfield, Mass., May 16th, 1854. Maria, wife of Bro. Marshal H. Edson, aged twenty eight years. Sister E. with her husband, has been an observer of the Lord's Sabbath since 1851. She manifested great resignation to the will of God in her last sickness. She gave up her husband and two children, and said if it were the will of God for her to live and train her children for him it would be well; if not all would be right, thy will, and not mine be done. A friend gave her a dollar; she requested that it may be sent to Bro. White. Her last words were, All is right. Thus she fell asleep in Jesus.
Her funeral was attended by a numerous company of relatives and neighbours, who listened attentively to a discourse given by the writer from Rev. xiv, 13.
