JOSEPH BATES

By Joseph Bates

Bro. Edward Clark, aged thirty-five years and six months, came to his death in a very sudden manner last Tuesday, the 10th instant. While in the act of stoning up and refitting an old well, about five miles from his home, the earth caved in and covered all but his head, and before any assistance could be rendered, the earth broke for some distance around the well, and covered him so deep that the friends were four hours recovering his lifeless body. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss.
Bro. C. united with the church in this place soon after Bro. Cornell lectured here, about ten years ago, and ever after manifested a strong desire to live in harmony and union with his brethren. His sudden death caused quite a sensation here, and also at the funeral service, the 12th instant.
