"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 42, No 45, p 5, Nov. 11, 1886. At Ashaway, R. I., Oct. 28, 1886, Mrs. Sophia Wells, in the 89th year of her age. Her husband, George P. Wells, died about forty-four years ago. She leaves three daughters: Mary Coon, of Utica., Wis., Nancy Darrow, of Montville, Conn., and Emeline, wife of Christopher C. Lewis, of Ashaway; also a brother and several sisters. Most of the time, for the past thirty-five years, she has made her home with Mrs. Lewis. Sister Wells, with thirty others, was baptized and united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton, Nov. 21, 1812. Only one of all that number is still living. For the past three years Mrs. Well's name has stood at the head of our church membership list. She will be remembered for her cheerfulness, her trust and her consistent Christian life. For a few years past her memory has been failing with her advancing age; but she retained better than anything else, the knowledge of her Redeemer, and when other things were lost in forgetfulness, she remembered and knew where to find the Lord. "I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night." http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 42, No 45, p 5, Nov. 11, 1886. At DeRuyter, N. Y., Nov. 2, 1886, Amelia, daughter of Elias and Sarah Irish, and wife of Eld. Halsey Stillman. She was born in North Stonington, Conn., Jan. 17, 1815. In her infancy her parents moved to Truxton, now Cuyler Hill, N. Y., and there, in 1831, she was married to Halsey Stillman, to whom she was a devoted companion for more than fifty-five years. Soon after their marriage both made a profession of religion, were baptized by Eld. Stillman Coon, and joined the Lincklaen Church. After a few years they moved to Watson, where they united with that church, and then returned to Otselic, where her husband was called to the ministry, and preached several years. On their removal to Farina, Ill., she became one of the constituent members of that church, and on their return to New York, again joined the Lincklaen Church. God blessed them with eleven children, all of whom lived to grow up, and eight of these were with their mother during her sickness. Last Sabbath afternoon, when she was in great distress of body, her husband repeated the words afterwards used as the text for her funeral, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," and she sweetly added as her last words, "Yes, Jesus will give me rest."

Sister Davis had been a Christian for many years, and her life seemed to ripen up like a beautiful field of wheat. The last earthly church with which she was connected was the Carleton (Minn.) Church, and we trust she has now found her name among the "washed in the blood of the Lamb," and where all trials and sorrows are forever at an end. G. J.

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 25, No 25, p 99, June 17, 1869. In Milton, Wis., May 23d, 1869, Mr. George W. Ogden, aged 59 years.

Mr. Ogden was one of the early settlers of Rock County, he having resided therein thirty-six years. He was an honorable and upright citizen and greatly respected by all who knew him. He has often filled positions of trust in his town and county. By his death, his friends, and the community in which he lived, have sustained a great loss. L. T. R. Note: From the records I have reviewed, and the way this obit is carefully worded, it appears that, although Groege's wife, Electa Coon, was a member of the Rock River Church from it's founding in 1856, George was not. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jonsaunders

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 27, No 32, p 127, Aug. 3, 1871. In Milton, Wis., July 5th, 1871, of cancer, John A. Palmer, aged 55 years. He was a great sufferer for months previous to his death. He bore with patience his sufferings, and was anxious for the time of his departure to come. Bro. Palmer was one of those congenial men who not only made in the society and neighborhood where he lived, but outside of that, many warm friends. In his death, the church sustains a great loss, and his family a deep affliction. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit." J. C. R.

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 34, No 2, p 3, Jan. 10, 1878. In Akron, Ill., Dec. 29th, 1877, Luman Matison, aged 64 years. Bro. Matison was born in the town of Petersburgh, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., in 1813, and at the age of fifteen years, professed religion and became a member of the Petersburgh Seventh day Baptist Church at its constitution. For nearly fifty years he strove faithfully to maintain a Christian's warfare, and all who knew him feel that he honored his profession. He removed to this State in 1864, and united with the Southampton Seventh day Baptist Church, of which he remained a faithful member till released from the body to unite, we trust, with the church triumphant. For many months his sufferings were intense, and death came and was welcomed as a friend. His final testimony was that he had found Jesus Christ a stronghold in trouble, and that he needed no argument to prove to him the truth of the Scriptures. His funeral took place on the 31st. Sermon by his pastor from Phil. 1: 21, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." G. J. C.
