Died, At his residence, in the town of Sylvan, Washtenaw County, Michigan, on the 30th day of September, 1845, Tully C. P. Fenn, in the 34th year of his age. His illness was short but most painful. He has left a companion, a son, a widowed mother, and a numerous train of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. He was an esteemed and worthy member of the church to which he belonged, and a firm and unwavering defender of the faith once delivered to the saints. He publicly professed his attachment to the cause of the Redeemer in the 18th year of his age, and was baptized by Elder Henry Green and added to the church of Shoreham, VT. A few years after he moved to the state of Michigan, shortly after which he, with a number of other brethren, were constituted into a church in the town of Lima, of which church he remained a faithful member until his death. Bro. Fenn has left an example worthy of imitation. He was faithful to his engagements with his God, the church and the world. The wants of his Minister were looked after, and his hand was open to relieve them. This was truly realized by the one who is now called to part with him. Although he now sleeps in death, he has left evidence that he will have part in the first resurrection, for the dead in Christ shall rise first. COM. Will the Vermont Observer please copy.

DIED. —-Suddenly, at her residence in this village yesterday afternoon, of an affection [sic] of the heart, MRS. CATHARINE SINCLAIR, consort of the late John Sinclair, Esq., aged 56 years and 5 months. Mrs. S. was a native of the County Donegal, Ireland, and emigrated to this country with her late husband at an early day. She was a woman of great energy of character and ardently devoted to the interests of her family. As a christian and mother, she is worthy of all imitation. The family have our deep sympathies. The short space of a few months has deprived them of a father and mother. The funeral will take place at the Episcopal Church on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the 20th instant [1846/03/20]. COM.

DIED. —-At his residence in Sylvan, Washtenaw county, Feb., 13th, of lung fever, Deacon JOHN WHEELER in his 82nd year. Deacon W. was a native of New England, and for some years a resident of Westmoreland, Oneida county, N.Y. His conversion is dated previous to his leaving New England —-his early christian course was marked by an even, consistent progress. After his removal to W. his whole life gave strong and positive proof of increasing interest and attachment to Christ. He was a very active member of the church. Some fifteen years since, while living at W. a change in his temporal affairs took place, suddenly changing him from affluence, to comparative poverty —-which was the occasion of his removal to this place. This [...illegible due to crease in paper...] as the greatest [...crease...] ever bestowed upon him by his heavenly Father. From this period a new era opened in his life and he consecrated himself and all he had unto the Lord; and from this moment, until his death, he seemed to know nothing but Christ, and him crucified, as no doubt all who were acquainted with him will testify. He was a member of the Congregational church, in Grass Lake, much beloved. In the death of this Godly man, a wife has lost a kind and faithful husband. The numerous family and children have been bereft, of an affectionate, and tender father, the church a pillar, and the poor dying sinner a faithful and tried friend. He spent most of his time visiting from house to house, in different towns, urging sinners to submission, and christians to more faithfulness. In short, he was ready for every good word and work, but he is gone. Yes —-and blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. COM. [Contributed by S. Brevoort] |

In Jackson, [Jackson Co.,] May 16th inst., [1847/05/16] JOHN THOMPSON, aged 87 years, formerly a resident of this Village and a soldier of the Revolution. He was engaged [at] the battle of Monmouth on the 28 June 1778 & [con]tinued in the service to the close of the war. [He] embraced the cause of Christ at an early peri[od] of life, and identified himself with the Metho[dist] Episcopal Church when it was first introduc[ed] into New England by the Revrs. Jesse Lee, As[??], Garretson, and others, Fathers of the church, [who] frequently preached at his house and found [there] a welcome resting place. It is little re[mark]able and worthy of note, that he was never [kn]own to taste a drop of ardent spirits, even as a [med]icine, until his last sickness when it was ta[ken] with reluctance. His long life may be at[tri]buted in part to his temperate habits. How [few] of the fathers of the Revolution remain. We [pray?] he has gone to his eternal rest, where wars [are] known no more. He has left many friends to [mou]rn, but not as those who have no hope. E. H. PILCHER. [There is a deep shadow in the crease between the pages on the microfilm.

DEATH OF MR. HAWLEY. It is our painful duty to announce the death of our fellow citizen, Augustus D. Hawley, Esq. He died at his residence in this village on Saturday morning last, after a short and severe illness. His disease terminated, we believe, in congestion of the brain. The death of Mr. Hawley was no less sudden than the announcement is startling. But a few days since he was moving amongst us in the enjoyment of perfect health, with prospects of the most flattering character. He enjoyed the confidence and high respect of his fellow-citizens, and was reaping rich laurels and rewards in his professional business. Though yet young, he had attained a reputation which older men might envy. Cordial, frank in his manner, he won the esteem and love of all who enjoyed his friendship. Few men could have been called from among us, who would be more missed, or whose death would be more widely lamented. Emphatically, he was one "with his heart in his hand"—-generous, just and confiding. But he has gone!—-never to return. Strikingly are we admonished, "how uncertain is life—-how certain is death." Mr. H. was a self made man, and the architect of his own fortunes. He represented this county in the lower branch of the legislature in 1840, and was one of the most prominent members of that year. Since that time he has been in the successful practice of his profession in this village. Of his integrity and ability, we have never heard a complaint, and he enjoyed the most entire confidence of his numerous clients. He had no enemies, and was the enemy of no one. It will be long "e'er we shall see his like again."—-[Jack. Pat. [Jackson newspaper] [Contributed by S. Brevoort] |

Resolved, That we offer our kindest condolence and tenderest sympathies to the bereaved widow, family and surviving friends of the deceased, and feel to mingle our tears with theirs, in view of this just, but heavy chastisement of a kind and merciful Heavenly Father. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent, by the R. S. of Ann Arbor Division, No. 10, to the widow of the deceased.

Died, at her father's, in the vicinity of Ann Arbor, of Consumption, Abi E. Ticknor, aged 23, daughter of Heman and Eliza Ticknor. These parents had already borne seven children to the silence of the grave; but God has been pleased to summon from them an eighth. The deceased was loved of all who knew her, modest, retiring, amiable and affectionate, scant in expression as she was in temper. In the prospect of dissolution, her gentle nature, at first, shrank from the conflict with the king of Terrors, and contemplated the severance of those tender ties which bound her to friends, with somewhat of natural reluctance: but, for sometime before her decease, she anticipated it with composure, having cast her burden on the Lord, and found his promises exceeding great and precious. Jesus revealed himself to her in his bounty and glory and attracted the admiration and love of her soul; calmed the agitation of her bosom, enabl'd her to say, with cheerful submission; "Jesus I'm ready." A little while before her exit, she said to her father, "I'm nearly through," soon after, "I'm there;" and then, folding her arms over her chest, she breathed her life out sweetly and softly on the bosom of her Redeemer. So slaks the gale, when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shore." Whilst parents and friends, then, cannot but weep at the parting hour, which summons a loved spirit from its clay tenement, leaving behind but the icy remnant of what was and that too to be borne to the Damps of the sepulchre, they cannot but feel and say of Abi:-- Perchance thy weak spirit in doubt lingered long; But sunshine of heav'n beamed bright on thy waking, And the sound thou didst hear was the seraphim's song.

DIED, July 19th, Rev. Josiah Brakeman, Presiding Elder of the Ann Arbor district of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His death was caused from an injury received by a fall from his horse, from which he was violently thrown on Tuesday, the 17th inst. [1849/07/17] Though suddenly called from the scenes of life, he was fully prepared, & met death without fear. He has left a large and deeply afflicted family to mourn his loss. The following resolutions, passed at a meeting of a large number of the preachers of his district exhibit his standing in the Church to which he belonged, and the esteem in which he was held by his brethren of the Ministry: Whereas, it has please Almighty God in his wise and inscrutible Providence to remove from our midst, by death, our much respected and worthy brother, Rev. Josiah Brakeman, Presiding Elder of the Ann Arbor district, Michigan Conference, Therefore —- Resolved, That we bow with deep reverence and submission to the wise, yet mysterious dispensation. Resolved, That in the death of brother Brakeman, the Church has lost a worthy minister, the community a valuable citizen, his family a beloved husband and kind father, and a bright example of Christian integrity and meekness. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his bereaved widow and children in the severe loss they have sustained, and most earnestly commend them to the protection of Almighty God, and the prayers and sympathies of the Church. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family of Bro. Brakeman, and that they also be published in the papers of this village, and also in the Family Favorite. J. A. BAUGHMAN, Chairman. R. Sapp, Sec'y. July 20th. |
