FELL asleep, in Eddington, Me., Nov. 11, 1863, our beloved sister, Betsey E. Oakes, in the 64th year of her age.
Our sister had been afflicted with the loss of her eyesight, and inflammation in her eyes, for about two years. Near the close of her life the consumption and dropsy set in, and it became evident that she was sinking away. She fell asleep without a struggle. She was one of the first in Maine to embrace the Sabbath, and has lived a Christian life, and been a mother in Israel to give counsel and admonition to the erring. A discourse was preached by the writer from 1 Cor. xv, 21, 22, when we consigned her to the silent grave, to wait until the resurrection morning.
