Samuel Merlin Dies at Age 75

By Wm. S. Higley Jr.

DIED Feb. 14, 1863 at his residence in Lapeer, Mich. Samuel Merlin, aged 75 years. He had professed faith in Jesus Christ for more than forty years. While Brn. Cornell and Lawerence were proclaiming the third angel's message in 1858, he embraced the Seventh-day Adventist faith and contended earnestly for the "faith once delivered to the saints." He expressed a perfect willingness to abide God's will and be laid away to sleep until Jesus comes.
Elder R. J. Lawerence preached to a large and attentive congregation at the residence, from Rev. xiv, 13, enjoying much freedom, and the word apparently having good effect.
