OBITUARY.

By H. G. Buck

Justin Day, the subject of this notice, fell asleep in Jesus, July 22, 1861, at his residence in Chateaugay, Franklin Co., N. Y., aged 71 years and 12 days. His disease was dropsy and numb-palsy, from which he suffered much. A few days before his death, Bro. Day repeated these words, "I know that my Redeemer liveth," &c. Job xix, 25, 26. "There," said he, "I should like to have my funeral sermon preached from that text;" and so it was, by the writer to a large and attentive congregation. The Presbyterian friends kindly offering their house in the village, the funeral was held there. Bro. Taylor, of Rouses' Point, assisted in the services. H. G. Buck.
