Emeline Wilson

By John Byington

DIED of consumption, Jan. 28th, 1857, at her father's house, in Norfolk, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., Emeline Wilson, daughter of Lewis and Salina Haskell, in the 22d year of her age.

Sister Emeline embraced religion and was baptized when about ten years of age, under the preaching and labors of Advent people. She exemplified her profession in coming out from the world, in plainness of dress, in a life of prayer, and in choosing a place with the church of God in the house of prayer.

She was married to Bro. Elon Wilson, two years, the coming March, before her death. Her husband was then keeping the Sabbath with her, but, a few months before her falling asleep in Jesus, he gave it up, which was a great trial to his dear companion. If he has not, may he soon return.

Our sister, after passing some heavy trials in the first of her illness, was, some two or three weeks

before her end, made wholly free in the Lord. Her mind was clear beyond a doubt. We had a free time at her funeral, in presenting the truth as found in 1 Thess. iv, 13-18.

Sr. E. has left one child, which we hope, with her husband, will yet be brought safely with her into the kingdom. JOHN BYINGTON.
