J. BYINGTON

By John Byington

Died of apoplexy, Feb. 16, 1862, in Burlington, Mich., sister Adams, in the fifty-ninth year of her age.

Sister Adams embraced the present truth four years ago last summer while Brn. Bates and Waggoner were with the tent in that place. I staid at her house the first time I ever was in Burlington, soon after the tent meeting. She then said to me that she had never made a profession of religion, but while listening to the truth preached at the tent, she was convicted of its importance, embraced it, was baptized, and I believe has been endeavoring to maintain it up to the present time. The assembly was large at the funeral, where we endeavored to show that those who die in the Lord will soon have part in the first resurrection.
