"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 38, No 4, p 5, Jan. 26, 1882. In Westerly, R. I., Jan. 17, 1882, of pneumonia, John Hiscox, in the 86th year of his age. Born and reared in the town of Westerly, and having lived in the village for forty years, he might truly be called one of the old landmarks. He was known of all, and as universally respected as he was known. Six children have preceded him to the better land, while four remain to be a support and comfort to their mother, who, after more than sixty years of married life, has come at last to the loneliness of the widow's lot. Brother Hiscox was a tried and true member of the Pawcatuck Seventh day Baptist Church. His sickness was brief, but the summons was not unexpected or unwelcome. His full day's work was done, and life's sun sank naturally to rest; but the presence of the divine Master made it glorious, and thus were fulfilled the words of the prophet, "And it shall come to pass that at evening time it shall be light." L. A. P. "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 44, No 34, p 8, Aug. 23, 1888. In Westerly, R. I., Aug. 3, 1888, Mrs. Mary Saunders Hiscox, widow of John Hiscox, aged 88 years, 5 months and 15 days. She was born in the town of Westerly, Feb. 18, 1800, and was the daughter of Arnold and Hannah Clarke Saunders, and the last of seven children, two sons and five daughters. Of them all she lived to the ripest and greatest age. When she was eighteen years old she was married to Mr. Hiscox, who was a descendant, fifth in direct line, of Eld. William Hiscox, the first pastor of the Newport Church, R. I. Mrs. Hiscox was a resident of Westerly for nearly forty years and had seen many changes in the village and community. Of her ten children only four survive her - one son and three daughters. When about twenty years old Mrs. Hiscox was baptized by Eld. Matthew Stillman, and joined the First Hopkinton Church. In 1850 she changed her membership by letter to the Pawcatuck Church, of which she was a greatly esteemed member at her death. Strong in faith, firm in principle, loyal to Christ and his requirements, faithful to the church, prayerful and devout, earnest and exemplary, always deeply interested in the people of her faith, this sister in Christ lived a useful life, came to a ripe old age, beautiful in spirit and character. Not only will her children and grandchildren greatly miss her, but all who came under the sweet savor of her life. A mother in Israel has departed, and the Pawcatuck Church is again called to meet the loss of a valuable and beloved member, as she has frequently been the past year. O. U. W.
