W. D. SHARPE

By W. D. Sharpe

Fell asleep in Jesus in Green Spring, Ohio, June 10th, 1859, of consumption, brother E. Lincoln, age not known. Our beloved brother was formerly a member of the M. E. church. He heard and embraced the present truth in July, 1857, under the labors of Brn. Holt and Cornell, in this place. From that up to the time of his death, he endeavored to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. He loved the glorious appearing of Jesus. He left a family of four children to mourn his loss.

He was always present at our meetings, as long as his strength held out; and four days before he died he spoke of that peace of mind the world can neither give nor take away. He seemed resigned to the will of the Lord, and felt that all was well.
