Obituary of Ancel Dunbar
By John L. Palfrey
Bro. Ancel Dunbar, of Grantham, N. H., fell asleep in Jesus, March 11th, 1856, in the 81st year of his age, of the dry mortification in the foot. He had kept the Bible Sabbath four years and six months; and when about to die, he said, "I shall sleep but a little while, before Jesus will come." His last sickness, which was very painful, was marked with entire resignation to the will of God. The faith and hope of the gospel sustained him in the last trying moments of life, and he peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, a pleasant smile still lingering upon his countenance. He gave a solemn warning to his two sons, that were with him, to remember their Creator in the days of their youth. He has left a beloved and kind wife to mourn his loss, but not without hope.
