OBITUARY.

By A. S. Hutchins

DIED in Sutton, Vt., Dec. 1, 1862, of consumption, Sr. Rhoda A. Brockway wife of B. F. Brockway, aged 44 years. Sr. B. embraced the Christian religion at a young age. She manifested an ardent love for secret and social prayer in childhood.
Some six or eight years since, with her companion, she embraced the Sabbath of the Lord. In her last sickness in which she suffered much; she expressed her love for the Holy Sabbath and said she had never felt to give it up, since she embraced it.
In view of immediate death, she was enabled to commit her family, consisting of a kind companion, a youthful son and an affectionate little babe, six months old to the Lord, believing he would care for them.
Her last hours were very peaceful and happy. She called on all to praise the Lord for his goodness, to her. Her funeral was attended in the F. W. Baptist meeting house in Sutton. I spoke on the occasion from the words. "And unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Heb. ix, 28.
