For sixty-four years she had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She was born in Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut, in 1807, and became a member of the church in 1827. At twenty-five she was married to Captain Allen MEAD, and in 1842 they removed to Oswego, Oswego County, New York, and after several years to Michigan. She was from the first an earnest and active Christian worker, holding from time to time important offices in Christian societies. Among her personal acquaintances were some of the most distinguished people in our Church. She was noted for her hospitality, and many engaged in the interests and work of the church enjoyed the freedom and bounty of her home. Into her old age she was bright, cheerful, and active, and as she drew near the close rejoiced in the Lord, and left a radiant testimony of her saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. William DAWE
