Treffry Died at Little River, Yarmouth County, April 4th, Mrs. Laleah Jane, the beloved wife of Mr. Rufus Treffry, aged 25. She was thoughtful from childhood, and early indulged a hope in Jesus. Her natural diffidence restrained her from openly confessing Christ, and a sense of unworthiness and fear that she had not really become a subject of saving grace, deprived her of much of that confidence and joy it is the christians privilege to possess. During her lingering illness her mind was much stayed on God, and at times she rejoiced in hope of heaven. It was to her a source of the deepest regret that she had not made a public profession of religion, and but for her great weakness and rapidly failing strength she would have been baptized in the likeness of Christ's death. She met death with great composure, "Welcome, sweet death," were among her last words. Besides her husband, she has left 2 children, and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. A funeral sermon was preached in the Free Christian Baptist meetinghouse at Chebogue, from Heb. iv. 9, by Rev. Henry Angell. !
