ABELLJoshua03.02.1846“After a few days’ illness, at his residence in Eustace Street, Joshua Abell, universally esteemed and regretted by his relatives and an extensive circle of acquaintances, for his integrity, philanthropy, and unaffected piety. He was well known to the literary and scientific world as a highly talented man. His writings in defence of the oppressed Negro abroad, and infant freedom from slavery at home, require no other comment than that they emanated from an enlightened, benevolent mind.” – In addition to the foregoing from The General Advertiser of the 7th curt., we have been furnished by a Friend, with the following brief particulars. Joseph Abell was proprietor of a seminary for the classical education of youth, for about twenty-six years, in the city of Dublin; and whilst instilling into the minds of his pupils the elements of Literature, Science, and Natural Philosophy, he was ever anxious to direct their minds to the Great First Cause, whence all true knowledge is derived. He was deeply versed in the sacred volume, which enabled him to impart to his interesting charge a truly scriptural education. He was also proprietor and editor of “The Dublin Literary Journal,” a periodical chiefly devoted to the promotion of science; which he conducted with much ability, and which had nearly reached the conclusion of its 3d volume. Much of his time was devoted to philanthropic objects, and his pen was ever ready to advocate the cause of suffering humanity. If a good constitution, and almost uninterrupted health, would have been a guarantee to length of days, we might have anticipated the longer continuance of this dear Friend amongst us; but He who seeth not as man seeth, was pleased to order it otherwise. A few months previous to his death, his health began to decline, as was supposed from too close an application to literary and scientific pursuits; this seemed to be received by him as an intimation, that “this was not his continuing city;” and there is reason to believe that he endeavoured to adopt the scripture injunction, “Set thine house in order,” &c. During his illness, which was short, after attending to, and giving directions respecting worldly concerns, he was favoured with a feeling of peace, which he remarked was marvellous to him; and repeatedly said, “I am resigned;” “the will of the Lord be done.” He was frequently engaged in supplication, and requested his wife to read amongst other parts of the Scriptures, the last chapter of Revelations; and as she proceeded, he sweetly remarked on the beauty and glory of “that city which needeth not the light of the sun,” &c.; expressing a humble hope, “that through the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, not through any works which he had done, he should be permitted to enter within its pearl gates.” In the “Dublin Literary Journal,” appeared the following poetic effusion from the pen of the lamented editor, with which we conclude this notice; directing the reader’s attention particularly to his beautiful description of the celestial city. Recollections of the year 1842 – a long poem written Dublin, New Year’s Day, 1843 by Joshua Abell [not transcribed].TBF 02/1846

CHAMBERSJohn15.03.1846At Derby, JOHN CHAMBERS, in his 68th year. In noting the death of this dear Friend, we trust a few remarks will be encouraging to some in a like humble sphere; exemplifying, as he did, the power of true religion to support through a life of trial and poverty. John Chambers was apprenticed to a consistent friend, who took great interest in those placed under his care; he was in early life convinced of Friends principles, and being willing to abide the refiner’s fire, he was enabled to take up the cross, and despise the shame which the world is ever ready to pour upon those who forsake it, and follow a crucified Lord in the way which he requires. After a few years, his beloved partner was taken from him, leaving him with four children, which was a great trial to him; he meekly bowed to this stroke, and in his humble walk of life, encouraged his little ones to follow him, as he followed Christ. In middle life, he was attacked with inflammatory rheumatism, which made it very difficult for him to continue his employment at the stocking frame, his hands and feet were very much affected, and he continued his work longer than many would have thought it possible. Subsequently, the disorder increased to such an extent, that he was entirely deprived of the use of his joints, excepting one finger, by which means he could with difficulty turn over the leaves of a book; and during the last ten years of his life, he was almost entirely confined to his bed. In this state, his unshaken confidence in the love and mercy of his God, and his cheerful resignation to the divine will, were truly instructive to witness. He frequently said, he thought none could be happier than himself, as he enjoyed that peace which the world could neither give nor take away; and his uniformly cheerful countenance bore a living testimony to the truth of this. He received the assistance of his friends with great thankfulness, but his care not to take too much was very striking; being unwilling to receive what they thought needful, in his heavy affliction. During a recent attack of influenza, which terminated his earthly existence, he was much tried with the feeling of a desertion of heavenly grace; and during this time of deep trial, he earnestly enquired of a friend who visited him, why he was kept here so long? and upon her saying that even in this helpless state, she hoped he was living in his Master’s service, and that, if for no other purpose, he might be permitted to remain here, to show to others how a Christian can suffer; he quickly answered, “I am content, if my faith and patience do but hold out to the end.” He was afterwards favoured with a consoling belief that all would be well, and a few hours before his death, he was distinctly heard to say “rather rejoiced that your names are written in heaven.” He had a great fear of dying from suffocation, and supplicated that this might not be the case; his prayer was signally answered, for his end was remarkably easy, he appearing to pass quietly away when asleep, we doubt not, to never-ending blissTBF 05/1846

This dear Friend had been for some time in a declining state of health, during which she was a bright example of Christian cheerfulness and resignation under great and protracted sufferings, endeavouring, in some measure, to conceal them from her beloved husband and family; whose anxiety about her, she observed to a near relation, was the greatest trouble she felt. Her kind and cheerful disposition endeared her much to young persons; and her character strikingly exemplified that absence of selfishness, in which others are preferred to ourselves.TBF 06/1846

KNOTTAbigail26.06.1846At her house, Rathangan, Ireland, ABIGAIL KNOTT, in her 85th year, an esteemed Elder; of whom it may be truly said, that her life “adorned the doctrine of God, her Saviour;” and her close instructively exemplified the last words of Addison – “See in what peace a Christian can die.” With an excellent natural understanding, she possessed also a clear discernment in spiritual things; while her humble deportment through life, ever gentle and full of love, was united with a firmness of religious character, which allowed no compromise of what she believed to be right. When near her end, she emphatically remarked, that “her views of Christian doctrine were in unison with those of our Early Friends; adding, “that she felt religious unity with those of every denomination, and kindred, under whatever name, who were in the unity of Christ.” For some time previous to her decease, so much did it seem that she was graciously favoured with an evidence of her “calling and election being made sure,” that her mind, relieved from anxious concern on her own account, was frequently occupied in aspirations for the well-being and Christian progress of others; with intervals of thanksgiving and praise to the Author of her being, for His “manifold mercies extended towards her all her life long.” Earnest petitions were heard from her, on behalf of the people of heathen lands, and especially for those of her own country, who were still wrapt in the darkness of papal superstition; praying for the universal spread of the Bible among them, in the belief that the Holy Spirit, which inspired the sacred writings, would open, and apply their truths to the humble and enquiring mind; and further enable those who co-operate therewith, to lay hold upon that “hope of salvation which cometh by Jesus Christ.”TBF 07/1846

She had never married, but for the last thirty years of her life and upwards, lived with her surviving sister. Though not called into activity in the Society, she seemed qualified to fulfil many of its important duties. She was a kind and sympathising friend, ready at every call to nurse the sick, to soothe the afflicted, and to alleviate the sorrow of the mourner. She was not unprepared to meet the final summons, but had long calmly contemplated its arrival, even while in the enjoyment of bodily health and strength. After a short illness of seven days, she closed her life of active benevolence, in the 82d year of her age; resignedly committing her purified spirit to her heavenly Father – leaving a grateful sense on the minds of her surviving friends, that she is enjoying the rest prepared for the righteous.TBF 07/1846

THOMPSONSarah07.07.1846At Ivy Cottage, Woodbridge, age 74, SARAH, wife of Philip Thompson, a minister; after an illness of upwards of three months, borne with continued patience and resignation to the Divine will. Her mind was impressed in the early part of her affliction with the seriousness of her situation, and she said to her husband, “What a favour it is that I feel safe for heaven; and though my path has been strewed with much tribulation, affliction, and conflicts of spirit, yet few have had greater cause to bear testimony to the Lord’s unmerited love and mercy than myself, for truly he has done great things for me.” And when, through extreme debility, she was unable to read the Holy Scriptures, or to hear them read, she said “How merciful and faithful the Lord is to me! now that I cannot read, He opens to me sweet promises of Scripture for my consolation. Very precious was the language of the Psalmist to my soul this morning, ’Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases,’” &c. And shortly after – “Oh I am nothing, less than nothing; no merit to me that I am not trusting to a self-righteous spirit; I am resting my hopes of heaven on the sprinkling of the precious blood of Christ.” At another time she said, ”I have been thinking of my dear departed sister’s experience, when she exclaimed, ‘O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?’” &c. And what a mercy for me that I can apply the same language of the Apostle to myself! A few days previous to her dissolution, she said, ”I have been endeavouring to wait upon the Lord in solemn silence, for some gracious manifestation, when, almost immediately, the language came with power and sweetness to my mind, The same yesterday, to-day, and for ever.’”TBF 07/1846

ARNITTMary24.08.1846At her residence, 25, Sydney Place, Edgehill, Liverpool, MARY ARNITT, in her 71st year, widow of the late Francis Arnitt, of Thirsk, banker, and a member of our Society. Not being in affluent circumstances, she had very little intercourse with members of her own Society of later years, having been a resident in Liverpool since she left her native county; but to that extensive circle with whom she became acquainted, she was a shining example of humility, virtue, piety, and self-denial, and by whom her loss will be keenly felt and long deplored. She always sympathised with the poor, and felt delighted when she had an opportunity of relieving them. During her recent illness she bore her affliction with much patience, referring to the incomparably greater suffering of the blessed Redeemer; and counselling those around her to fear the Lord, and obey His voice; and on more than one occasion repeated those beautiful lines of Job Scott to Mary Leadbetter – “One change I wish, and none beside desire, A change of heart, to holiness entire.” Being taken very ill two days before her death, and believing her dissolution at hand, after a short stillness, she said in a solemn and audible voice, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Soon afterwards she revived, but almost entirely lost her articulation. She continued in a quiet and peaceful state of mind, perfectly sensible to the last, awaiting a joyful immortality.TBF 08/1846

Joseph Jewell, late of Farringdon, Berks, whose remarkable life closed, as noticed in our last, on the 19th of 9th month aged 83, has himself recorded the chief events of it in a homely strain of verses, to which he seems to have been prompted, by what was a distinguishing trait in his character, the desire to promote the improvement and happiness of the poorer classes of his fellow creatures. Amongst them he had his parentage; and was successively an agricultural labourer, carter, porter, and working chemist; in which last occupation, he attained so much eminence, as to become a partner; and ultimately, a man of considerable property; in the liberal use of which, in different places of residence, he gave evidence of his great regard for the moral and religious improvement of those around him. He was, for many years, a member of our religious society, and distinguished by great simplicity and honesty of character; and the end of his long life was marked by a humble and cheerful sense of the blessings vouchsafed to him, and by the lively hope of a happy futurity.TBF 10/1846

PRICEAnna26.11.1846At her residence, Glynvellyn Cottage, near Neath, Glamorganshire, ANNA PRICE, in her 88th year. This dear Friend was a minister, well known, and highly valued by a large circle of friends. She removed with her husband and family to Wales, about the year 1802, where she has since resided. Her bodily infirmities had long confined her to the house, and for some time almost entirely to her chamber, where the Monthly Meetings of Ministers and Elders were held; on which occasion, as at other times, her remarks were pertinent and lively; expressive of her desires for the best welfare of our Society, (for which she was deeply interested,) and its preservation from the snares of an unwearied adversary, under his various transformations and allurements. The evening of her life was much brightened by the continued enjoyment of her mental powers, and the cheerfulness of her deportment; which rendered her a most instructive and interesting companion. A few weeks before her close, she was mostly confined to her bed, but continued in a sweet state of mind, trusting alone in the merits and intercession of her Redeemer for acceptance with the Father; “having a desire to depart and to be with Christ,” yet willing to remain as long as consistent with her Heavenly Father’s will, believing His time to be the best time. She departed without sigh or struggle; and was, we reverently believe, gathered in like a shock of corn fully ripe, into the Heavenly garner; leaving her relatives and friends to mourn the loss of one who had been a bright example of Christian faith.TBF 12/1846

PICKERINGGeorge25.12.1846At Garrigill Gate, near Alston, Cumberland, GEORGE PICKERING, aged 52. – This dear Friend bore a long and painful affliction, with great patience and resignation to the Divine will. He was exemplary for watchfulness, and spirituality of mind; lived in meekness and humility, seeking daily to be directed by the Holy Spirit; indeed he appeared as one enriched with the sweet influence of heavenly love. When visited by any of his relatives, he would frequently express a deep concern in relation to “the things of God.” His conversation, in this respect, was truly instructive; and although the members of the little meeting to which he belonged, sensibly feel the loss they have sustained in his removal, they entertain the consoling belief, that their loss is his eternal gain. “Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.”TBF 01/1847
LEADBEATERSarah25.12.1846At Stradbally, Queen’s County, Ireland, SARAH, the wife of Richard S. Leadbeater, in her 40th year, and daughter of the late Joseph Fisher, of Limerick. She was possessed of a highly gifted mind, accompanied by a sound judgement, and devoted much of her time to bettering the condition of her poorer neighbours. Not having wealth to bestow in any costly undertaking, she freely gave a great portion of her time and thoughts to the establishment of a manufacture of silk gloves, of a very fine texture, among the female children and young women of her neighbourhood. Having commenced by teaching the daughters of one poor family, so as to enable them to support an infirm mother, she extended the benefit by degrees to others, until, at the time of her decease, she had more than two hundred females employed. By constant attention and perseverance, the manufacture has attained to so great a degree of perfection, that it is said the hands of royalty have not disdained to wear the Irish Spider Mitts. An interesting account of this manufacture may be seen in Chambers’s Edinburgh Journal, No. 156, New Series, page 413, being the number published 26th of 12th month, 1846. In other works of benevolence and charity, when within her reach, the subject of this notice was often actively engaged. Her piety was sincere but unobtrusive. Although not prominent in the Society, nor a frequent attender of our religious Meetings, she was sincerely attached to the principles of Friends, and was much loved and respected. The unfrequency of her attendance at Meetings was very much owing to ill health, and her living at considerable distance. For nearly 12 years she had been a member of Ballitore Meeting. TBF 01/1847

BALLGawen02.02.1847At Bristol, in his 81st year GAWEN BALL, M.D., an elder. This valued Friend had an intimate knowledge of the history and religious principles of our Society, on which his views were very sound and clear. He compiled from the writings and recorded expressions of Friends, chiefly those of early date, a volume of considerable size, which was printed in the year 1819, under the title of “Premonitory Extracts.” This work, though not published, was extensively circulated. It consists of extracts from the writings of about seventy members of the Society of Friends, and upward of twenty of other religious denominations, expressive of the belief of the writers, that a time of confusion and distress would come upon this nation as a just judgment for its impiety and wickedness, accompanied with the comforting conviction that there would subsequently be a great increase of piety and virtue, first in this country, and afterwards throughout the world. It is an instructive and remarkable volume, and is introduced by a preface of upwards of fifty pages, in which the spirituality of the Christian religion, as opposed to priestcraft, is very ably and clearly set forth, as are also other principles held by Friends.TBF 02/1847
DU SOMMERARDLouisa Marie Antoinette03.02.1847At Stoke Newington, near London, LOUISA MARIE ANTOINETTE DU SOMMERARD, aged about 65. This Friend was a native of France, and when a child, came over to this country with her mother and other refugees, who fled from the horrors of the French Revolution; but her father, the Count du Sommerard, was never heard of afterwards; and being attached to the cause of Louis XVI, it is supposed that he perished amongst the victims of those days of anarchy and bloodshed. After suffering many privations, the mother died, and Louisa’s forlorn situation having attracted the notice and sympathy of a Friend and his wife in the North of England, they kindly took her under their care, and after some time, procured her a situation. She subsequently lived in several families of Friends, by whom she was much respected for her uprightness and integrity. She was joined in membership with the Society of Friends, and, in her declining years, was admitted an inmate of “Yoakley’s Buildings,” in which comfortable retreat she finished the course of her eventful life, in peace.TBF 02/1847

A preacher of righteousness in life and conversation, by her humble works of faith and labours of love; for her exemplary Christian walk did not fail to preach convincingly to all around her. To visit the fatherless and widow in their affliction, and to keep herself unspotted from the world, was the great concern of her deeply exercised spirit, in passing through this vale of tears; wherein she had often to partake of the cup of suffering with her suffering Lord, and so became rightly qualified to feel for, and sympathize with, those who were under suffering of body or mind. For being herself taught in the school of Christ, she was enabled to teach others, to whom she was a true nursing mother, and while these cannot but mourn the loss of one so justly beloved and truly honoured, they are consoled with the assurance, that her purified spirit is at rest in her TBF 03/1847
Redeemer’s kingdom; for her sun did indeed go down in brightness, and her end was crowned with peace.

MAY Ann13.03.1847At Ampthill, Beds., ANN, wife of Samuel May, aged 71. An elder. Few persons have more adorned “the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things,” than this Friend. Remarkable for natural sweetness of disposition and cheerfulness; these qualities were greatly enhanced, by her having from early life set the Lord always before her. Her humility was very conspicuous, and her heart was enlarged in love to all. Serene and peaceful as she approached her close, she was, in the end, found ready with her light burning, and waiting for the coming of her Lord. TBF 03/1847

He had been slightly unwell for two days, with what appeared to be a cold, and his medical attendant was in no apprehension of danger; when, on the evening of 4th day, the 14th instant, he suddenly became worse, and in about 15 minutes, expired.

LIDGEYJohn15.04.1847At Redruth, JOHN LIDGEY, aged about 86. He had been from early life, a consistent member of our Religious Society; a diligent attender of meetings; at some periods of his life went through much toil and difficulty to accomplish that duty; and when there, was one of Zion’s deeply though secretly-exercised travellers. He attended the Monthly and Quarterly Meetings at Falmouth (about 10 miles from his home), on the 13th and 14th; and soon after his return home on the latter day, he was seized with paralysis, which terminated in death. Thus within the short space of thirty hours, after being assembled with his friends in a favoured meeting, it is consolingly believed he was, through Redeeming Love and Mercy, permitted to witness an entrance into the Church triumphant.

He was the last survivor of a large family of brothers and sisters, and had also borne the loss of his wife, and many of their children with Christian resignation.

He was sweetly resigned at the end; though for some weeks he suffered acutely, from the fear that when in health he “had not thought sufficiently of the one thing needful;” and expressed an earnest desire that all might look to such an important duty now.

She was one of the first, who, in the North of Ireland, 22 years ago, in conjunction with the late Elizabeth Fry, aided in the formation of a committee for visiting the prisons, and reading the scriptures to the female inmates; since which period, she was actively engaged in the various philanthropic institutions of the town.

COMFORTEzra29.08.1847At his residence in Plymouth, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, EZRA COMFORT, an approved minister of the gospel in the religious Society of Friends, in the 71st year of his age. The promise, “Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season,” was fulfilled to this dear Friend, when after a life, whose best energies were devoted to his Master’s cause, he was gathered in peace to the garner of heavenly rest. When Elias Hicks would have undermined the doctrines of our religious Society, Ezra Comfort was found, not only as a faithful watchman upon our walls to sound the alarm; but as a valiant soldier to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. And during the painful conflicts which have since disturbed the peace of society, he was enabled steadfastly and faithfully to support our doctrines and testimonies until his Master called him to lay down his head in peace. A few days before his death, in conversing with a Friend, after referring to his short comings, he said “I know that I am a poor weak creature,” but added, “I am permitted in mercy to experience, that ‘there is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit:’” saying also, “I see nothing in my way: and believe that my day’s work is done.” He appeared to be very desirous of encouraging Friends in a faithful support of all our precious doctrines and testimonies, saying, “I have latey seen with increased clearness, that brighter days are approaching; and I believe that they are nearer than many Friends think them to be; but sharp conflicts and close trials must first be passed through.” His surviving friends have the consolation of knowing that he has gone down to the grave in peace, trusting in Him who is the “resurrection and the life,” with a full assurance of faith, that “them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him,” having made them “meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,” in that blessed and everlasting kingdom, where “the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” – American Friend.TBF 10/1847

FULLERJames Cannings25.11.1847At his house in Skancateles, Onondago County, State of New York, JAMES CANNINGS FULLER, in his 53d year. His disorder was termed bilious colic; which in little more than two days, terminated his active and valuable life. The dispensation must have been the more afflicting to our dear friend, and his connections, from his wife being absent at the time, on a visit to her relations in this country. Before he left England to reside in America, he was well known as the unflinching advocate of truth and justice. By his removal to America, the sphere of his usefulness became enlarged; and many parts of the United States can bear witness to his untiring labours on behalf of the Slave, and of the coloured people. He also zealously supported, and publicly pleaded for the cause of Temperance, and of Universal Peace; on both of which subjects, as well as the Anti-Slavery cause, he was a frequent lecturer; not shrinking from the perils and the censures to which the latter subject not unfrequently exposed him. His last visit to this country was in 1843, at which time he lectured in many places on the subject so near to his heart – multitudes having found in him the “Brother born for adversity.” We quote the following from the New York Anti-Slavery Standard, of the 2d current:- JAMES CANNINGS FULLER.- We hear with extreme regret, of the death of this good man. The slave had no warmer friend, and the cause of reform generally, no more sincere advocate. Mr. Fuller was an Englishman by birth, but from principle, a consistent republican. He left his own country, where his wealth gave him a high social position, to reside in one where he hoped freedom meant something more than a flourish of words. He never forgot to uphold here the principles which led him to seek a home among strangers.TBF 12/1847

She had been the succourer of many, and never forsook the friends of her youth, nor their children, when they stood in need of her assistance.

She was conspicuous for the simplicity of her dress and demeanour, avoiding any self indulgence. She did not suffer from any severe illness, but sunk under the gradual decline of nature.

CROSFIELDGeorge15.12.1847At his residence, near Liverpool, in his 63d year, GEORGE CROSFIELD, an elder upwards of 32 years. This dear and well known Friend had an attack of influenza about ten days before his decease, but his complaint was not thought of a serious nature for the first two or three days, when bronchitis ensued, accompanied with much difficulty of breathing; and though he survived about a week, yet there was from that time little hope of his recovery. During this period, it was instructive to witness the quiet and peaceful state of mind in which he was preserved. Though he had been actively engaged in benevolent pursuits, in assisting in the management of some of the local charities, and in aiding his poorer neighbours in various ways, so that he had many objects in hand at the time of his being taken ill, yet after giving directions as to what he wished to be done respecting them, he was enabled to lay aside all thought or concern for the things of this world, and to fix his attention on the world to come. He was strengthened to impart much tender counsel to his family and relatives, and the support with which he was favoured during the last closing scenes of life, gave evidence that he had not deferred to a sick bed the important work of preparation. At the same time, his remarks clearly showed, that he did not trust to any works of his own, but solely to the mercy of God, in Christ Jesus our Lord; to whom he was frequently engaged in supplication. He was granted perfect clearness and the full use of his faculties to the close; his last words being an unfinished prayer, that the Almighty would be with him in the last awful moment of the separation between soul and body. With these words on his lips, he quietly departed, without a struggle, we humbly hope to receive his inheritance in one of the many mansions reserved for those who have endeavoured to serve the Lord in their day and generation. His remains were interred in Friends’ burying ground at Penketh, on First-day the 19th, when a large company was collected, some of them from a considerable distance, to show their respect for his worth. The occasion was remarkably quiet and silent; excepting that a woman Friend spoke in hopeful testimony at the grave side, and a man Friend in the station of minister was briefly engaged in similar service, and in supplication in the meeting. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.” It was believed that the dear departed had diligently sought the mind of Truth in the sercret of his own heart, from day to day; and had been enabled, through obedience to the manifestations of divine grace, to do the will of his heavenly Father, in the performance of those duties which his life so conspicuously pourtrayed. May we who are still in mutability and probation, be strengthened to follow him as he endeavoured to follow Christ! By a rather remarkable coincidence, the grave was made at the feet of that in which Samuel Fothergill was interred more than 70 years ago; and thus this noted minister and his biographer are laid close together in death, as they both, when living, had at heart the same cause. In the Liverpool Mercury, there appeared the following statement concerning our beloved Friend:- “THE LATE GEORGE CROSFIELD. – It was our painful duty, last week, to record the death of Mr. George Crosfield, after a few days’ illness of the prevailing influenza. He was in the 63d year of his age, in the midst of a life of great usefulness and activity. His firmness and integrity won for him the confidence and esteem of all who came in contact with him. In him many of the institutions of the town have lost a valuable friend and supporter, not in a pecuniary sense alone, but in the sound advice which he was so well able to give. He was a man of great benevolence and cheerfulness of disposition, of marked promptitude in business, and of excellent judgment. His loss will long be felt, not only by the immediate circle of his relatives and friends, including the religious society to which he belonged (the Society of Friends), but by many who daily applied to him for counsel, to whom his advice was invaluable, and freely given. To the humblest as to the highest, who claimed his attention, Mr. Crosfield was a considerate and warm-hearted friend.”TBF 12/1847

The death of this well-known and highly esteemed Friend, was awfully sudden. He had been on a visit to his relations at Leeds, having gone thither to attend the funeral of his cousin, Rachel Tatham, whose decease was recorded in our last number. Her funeral took place on First-day, the 2d current; and Benjamin Tatham spoke a few words on the occasion. A female Friend, a minister, had at the same time a remarkable communication, speaking of the uncertainty of time, and the need there was to “be ready.” On Second-day, the 10th, he had proceeded to Rochdale for the day, intending to return in the evening. He took his ticket at the office, for Leeds, by the 4 o’clock train, and on stooping down for his travelling bag, fell and instantly expired of apoplexy. A medical man happened to be in the room, but before he could reach him, life was extinct.

BACKHOUSEAnna17.01.1848Suddenly, at the age of 27, on board ship, off Palermo, ANNA, the wife of John Church Backhouse, of Blackwell, near Darlington, and only daughter of the late Joseph John Gurney, of Earlham, near Norwich. Her health had been for some time declining, and, last autumn with her husband and their two young children, she embarked for Naples, intending to winter in Italy. They subsequently removed to Palermo, and were there at the time of the insurrection, when the town was invested by the King’s troops and preparation made for a siege and bombardment. In consequence of the disturbed state of the town, J. C. Backhouse and his family, with other English residents, were obliged to go on board two British ships. The embarkation was effected, without hurry or confusion, on the evening of the 15th ult. Anna B., having long been in a delicate state of health, was carried on board the Bull-dog steamer, by two men, in a chair, and was accompanied by her husband, their little boy and his nursemaid. As this vessel could not accommodate all the passengers, the other servants went on board the European. The next day and night were passed comfortably by A. B. On the morning of the 17th, she came on deck about eleven o’clock, soon after which she went to the captain, to ask permission for her own maid to come to her. This was readily granted by Captain Key, whose considerate kindness was unvarying thoroughout the whole trying scene. On returning to her seat on deck, her breathing became affected, and other alarming symptoms came on. The most prompt and kind attentions were shewn by the passengers and the medical men on board; but, from the first, she said the remedies would prove unavailing, that it was “a strange place to die in, but she felt very comfortable,” and that she should soon be with Jesus and her beloved father. After taking a most affectionate leave of her family, she peacefully breathed her last. A suitable spot on shore was selected for interring the remains, and being accompanied by her husband, several officers of the frigate, and the marines, they were quietly and solemnly committed to the grave, after the manner of Friends. – Universe.TBF 02/1848

By his exemplary walk in life, as he advanced to maturity, he became a bright example in the practice of those Christian duties in which he had been educated, and was actively engaged to promote those objects which tend to the moral and religious improvement of mankind. The tranquil and peaceful state of his mind throughout his illness, was consoling and instructive; during which time, he was enabled to testify that his hope of salvation rested entirely on the merits and intercession of his blessed and holy Redeemer. May his early removal from this probationary state prove an incentive to others to endeavour to follow the same guidance, that their end may also be crowned with peace.TBF 03/1848

She was, for many years, an overseer; and at a later period, held the station of elder. In reference to the attendance of our religious meetings, she lately observed, that “she never absented herself when she could attend; and now that bodily inability rendered her incapable of performing this duty, she had comfort and peace in the retrospect.” Shortly before the close of her life, her sight became much impaired; and she was frequently heard to express the satisfaction she experienced, in the reflection, that she had never wasted it in reading anything of an unprofitable tendency. To the above testimony, it may be truly added, that she possessed “the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit”. TBF 06/1848

NEAVEThomas04.06.1848At Reading, THOMAS, son of Josiah and Mary Ann Neave, of Fordingbridge, aged 12½ years. A short account of his last days may prove both interesting and instructive, especially to the young. His dear mother was with him during the last three weeks of his life, but it was not till the fifth day before he died, that he overcame his natural reserve in speaking on religious subjects. On the morning of that day, after conversing about home, his mother asked him if he ever thought of the uncertainty of his getting better. He replied, “I think a great deal.” On sixth-day morning, a decided change for the worse was noticed; and the medical man now giving no hope of his recovery, his mother thought it right to inform him; and to direct him to the Great Physician, who alone could relieve him. He said in reply, “I know it.” His father arriving soon after from home, and not having seen him for two weeks, was struck with the alternation in his appearance, and could not refrain from tears. Thomas said, “Don’t mind, we shall soon meet again. The Lord has been very merciful to me: we came into this world only to prepare for another. You have all been very kind to me, particularly thee and mother, in sending me to a nice school to be educated.” On his parents asking him if he could give them up, he replied, “Yes; for I am going to a better friend, and you should all be glad of it.” After his father had left the room he remarked, “I wish father was not so concerned about me.” His mother replied, “he is grieved to see thee suffer so much.” “Oh, I know it,” he answered, “I believe he does not like to part with me; but I hope I shall be better off, and you may some day be glad of that.” In reply to a remark that, if he was prepared, it would be a happy change, and if he lived to be a man he might not be so prepared as now; he said, No: the older he grew the stronger might be the temptations, and the more difficult to overcome; and he thought he would rather go now. His father coming into the room again, and remarking that he had been a good boy, he said, “Oh I think I have often been naughty, and I am very sorry; - I have been fond of teasing some of the boys, and I have tried Joe (his brother), sometimes very much, I am very sorry.” He then inquired if any of his brothers and sisters were likely to come to see him, and gave directions for each to have some little token of his affection; remarking, “I have not much of value, but perhaps they will like to have something to remember me.” He expressed his gratitude for the kindness he had experienced during his illness, and regretted the trouble he had given in the early part of the time he had been at school. The day before he died, he remarked, “I have not employed my thoughts as I ought in meetings, but suffered them to wander – and then the enemy gained the power over me – I knew it was wrong.” On his mother saying, what a favour it was, that he was not taken off at the commencement of his illness, but had time granted to him to remember these things, and to beg forgiveness, he replied, “Oh yes, it was; and the Saviour had been very merciful to him; and he hoped he had died for him.” Between eleven and twelve o’clock, seeming rather better, he said, “Mother, I want thee to sit down by me and have a little talk about serious things. I feel so happy, I want to sing – I want to sing praises!” His mother read a few lines out of the Youth’s Magazine. He asked for the book, and said they were so like his state:- ”Around the throne of God in heaven Thousands of children stand; Whose sins are all through Christ forgiven, A holy happy band, Singing, Glory – Glory!” “Not like the glories of the battle-field,” he remarked: “but I should like that best;” meaning, heavenly glory. Having such an evidence of the prepared state of his mind, his mother told him she believed she could now give him up, when he said, with great earnestness, “I am glad to hear thee say so, but don’t cry; I shall be better off, and, if I had lived longer, I might not be so prepared to go. We shall soon meet agan.” He frequently expressed a desire “to be kept quiet,” that he might endeavour to fix his thoughts on serious subjects. He evinced great patience and resignation throughout his illness, and a care not to give unnecessary trouble. His close was remarkably peaceful; it took place on First-day afternoon, about half-past three. He remarked, during his illness, that for two or three years, he had often thought he should not live long; and though there was but little appearance of religious sensibility during health, there is reason to believe his mind was preparing for the great change. His parents desire that this little narrative may tend to the encouragement of those who have the care of youth, to perservere in their endeavours to instil religious principles into the minds of their charge, even though the fruit of their labours may not be immediately apparent. ”Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days,” Eccles. xi. 1.TBF 06/1848

HOWITTThomas20.06.1848At Heanor, near Derby, THOMAS HOWITT, in his 86th year. This dear Friend, through a long course of years, maintained the character of a consistent member of our religious Society; and in his more private and domestic life, his conduct proved his profession to be sincere. Like Enoch, “he walked with God;” being chiefly concerned to hold communion with Him. It pleased his heavenly Father that his faith should be tried by a long and distressing illness. For many weeks his suffering from pain and weakness was great, but the everlasting arm was his support, and his deathbed presented a scene of great instruction. His spirit was ever clothed with love. He looked forward with joy to his dismissal from earth, that he might dwell with “his dear Saviour;” whom not having seen, he loved. When, from bodily weakness, his mind became less collected, his thoughts ever returned to the beloved of his soul; and expressions of love and adoration were heard to fall from his lips. Not a cloud was permitted to darken his prospect of another world, but in love and charity with all, he departed in peaceful hope to his eternal rest, like a shock of corn “fully ripe.” TBF 06/1848

This dear Friend was well known, throughout the Society, as the valued superintendent, for 28 years, of the school at Ackworth. His health had been for many months in a declining state, but his last illness was short. Although he appeared to be spared much suffering, his weakness was great; and from this cause he was able to express but little – but to a Friend who asked him how he was, he replied – “very weak, waiting for the Master’s orders;” and in this patient state he passed several days, till at length without pain or struggle he quietly ceased to breathe, being favoured to close his long and honourable life in peace.

Robinson, whose decease is above recorded, is said to have been “of the Royal Bank, Sydney,” as well as a “member of the legislative council.” He was formerly a much respected member of Devonshire House Monthly Meeting, London; and those who knew him, are not surprised at the character given of him in the Times; copied, it is believed, from a Sydney paper.TBF 12/1848

WATSONSarah27.08.1848At Ballintrain, county Carlow, of consumption, SARAH, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Watson, of that place, aged about 27. This dear young Friend was reduced to a state of very great weakness, and had to endure much suffering, particularly from a distressing cough. She was mercifully brought to an entire resignation to the Divine will, and enabled to look forward to a happy eternity. The Bible she esteemed the best of all books, and her mind was richly stored with its precious contents. She often supplicated the Lord to take her to His heavenly kingdom, where she would feel no more pain nor sorrow, but be at rest for evermore. She said it had not been of late only that she felt the desire to turn her mind unto the Lord; but for a long time past she had felt such comfort from on high, that she thought if she died in the night, she would be accepted by her Heavenly Father. In the latter part of her time, she was preserved in much calmness – saying, if she had it in her power, she would not wish to recover, nor exchange the hope of glory she had for the highest earthly condition; longing hourly to be gone, and to be with her Redeemer. She continued praising Him, saying that her sufferings were as nothing compared to what He suffered for her; and exhorting those around her to give thanks to the Lord for His goodness. TBF 09/1848

SARAH PHELPS, of Dublin, an elder, aged 86. (See B.F., No.12, Vol.VI.) It appears from the memoranda of this beloved Friend, that from her youth she was at times favoured to feel “the reproofs of instruction;” and though much removed from the care and notice of Friends, she was firmly attached to the principles we posess. Ere she reached the meridian of life, having yielded to the sanctifying Power of Divine Grace, she became a useful member of the Society, The kindness of her manners, and her Christian example, endeared her to an extensive circle of friends and acquaintances; and her affectionate interest in the welfare of youth, had a beneficial influence on their minds. To the necessities of the indigent, she contributed largely; and to the afflicted of all classes, she was a sympathizing friend. Our dear Friend retained her faculties clear to the end, and a liveliness in the best things was evident to all around her. The evening of life passed quietly away, and, as “a shock of corn fully ripe,” she waited to be gathered into the heavenly garner, trusting in the mercy of her Saviour, in whom her hopes had long been centred.TBF 02/1849

Soon after this dear Friend had left the house, he was found dead at the foot of a short ladder, which was reared against an outbuilding on the premises; the time, about noon. There being no appearance of contusions on the body, he was supposed to have died from a stroke of apoplexy. He was a much beloved father in the church, and one, it is believed, who loved his fellow-men “with a pure heart fervently.” His manners were simple, and unaffected; his character much resembling that of Nathaniel – “an Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile.” His funeral took place at Warrington, on the 6th, and was attened by many Friends. A sweet savour and deep solemnity were felt to prevail throughout the day. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”TBF 02/1849

His benevolence to the neighbouring poor was concspicuous, and his social virtues won the love and respect of all classs. Through Divine Grace, he was enabled patiently to bear a very protracted and suffering illness; and in resignation to the will of his Heavenly Father, he quietly passed away, we reverently believe, to join the redeemed of all generations, whose robes have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. Extracted from the Dublin Evening Mail:- “February 7th. – Deeply and sincerely mourned, at his residence, Christianstown, Kildare, James Forbes, Esq.; he was an eminent member of the Society of Friends, and by the integrity of his character the kindliness of his disposition, his benevolence to the poor, and his many Christian virtues, had won the respect and affection of the community at large of all persuasions.”TBF 02/1849

This dear Friend had a paralytic seizure in the 10th Month, last; after which he never recovered the use of his right arm, and was not again well enough to attend Meetings, though he could walk about a little in the house, and occasionally ride out to see his friends. His medical attendant had told him he could hold out no hope of his eventual recovery: to which he replied, -“then I shall be thankful to my Heavenly Father to cut short the work in righteousness.” On the day of his death, he had been dining at the house of a friend in the country, and addressed the family in the line of the ministry, concluding with the last two verses in the eighth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans. He was almost immediately after attacked with apoplexy, and in about an hour and a half peacefully expired.TBF 03/1849

She had for some years valuably filled the office of principal teacher at Friends’ Girls’ School, at Croydon, in the welfare of which she felt a deep and lively interest; and although suffering from cough and indisposition, she left at the vacation, anticipating the resuming of her duties with renovated strength. She visited her mother and relatives at Newport, who with her friends, were much concerned to see symptoms of a pulmonary nature, which had been making progress, and which did not yield to change and relaxation. On the re-opening of the School, she returned to Croydon for a short time, to make some arrangements which she thought desirable; and whilst there, the medical attendant of the School was consulted, also a physician, who both took an unfavourable view of her case, and the former thought she should be made acquainted with the critical state of her health. On receiving the information, she remarked. That “the prospect of leaving this world was no trial to her.” She afterwards returned home, and varied as were the changes in the suffering of the frail tabernacle, her mind was sweetly staid in resignation to the Divine will, whether for life or death; and on allusion being made to the dark valley of the shadow of death, she replied, “no dear, not dark, - light, light, all the way through.” Whilst able to get up a portion of the day, she looked over and disposed of many things, and sent several mementoes to her distant friends, also gave directions respecting her funeral, &c. She was a bright example of patience, under suffering and great debility; often expressing her thankfulness for the mercies extended to her; and one day when very weak, she sweetely whispered to her sister, “although my tongue cannot praise the Lord, yet my heart can and does, morning and night, and all day long.” She was favoured to retain her faculties to the close; she passed off very sweetly, and her relatives have consolingly to believe, that, through the blessed mediation of our dear Lord and Saviour, her robes are washed and made white in his precious blood; and that she has joined the happy number in ascribing “Salvation to our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb,” Rev. vii. 10.TBF 02/1849

WRIGHTThomas26.03.1849At Dublin, aged 35, THOMAS WRIGHT. It was the lot of this Friend to endure a lingering illness, which was mercifully tempered with comparative absence of much bodily suffering; his disorder was of the consumptive kind, which very gradually undermined and ultimately prostrated a constitution of ordinary strength. Fom an early period of his indisposition, his mind was impressed with an apprehension, that his life was not likely to be of much longer duration; and while sensible of many short-comings, and of the want of due preparation to stand in the presence of his Heavenly Father: although he had not had all the advantages of a guarded and religious education which many others are favoured with. He early evinced a circumspection of conduct, and a tenderness of spirit, which he was favoured to retain in a good degree through life; and as his illness progressed, it was evident that the great work of the soul’s sanctification was going forward, although he had often to endure conflict of spirit, and was tried with many doubts and fears of ultimate acceptance. But He whose compassion fail not was with him, and at seasons brightened his pathway to the tomb by a hope full of immortality, and as the solemn close approached, he was favoured with entire resignation to the divine will, and with a firm trust that, through the merits and mediation of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, all his sins of omission and commission were blotted out, and a mansion of rest prepared for his immortal soul.TBF 05/1849

HANCOCKThomas16.04.1849At his house in Lisburn, aged 66, THOMAS HANCOCK, M.D.; an elder. His health had been for years in a very infirm and declining state. At times great bodily sufferings were his portion, which he bore with Christian fortitude; in the intervals of ease evincing deep interest for the welfare of our religious Society. Frequently when laid by from active service, the secret exercise of his spirit was felt to be helpful and strengthening to his friends. In the latter years of his life the cheerful serenity of his mind was peculiarly striking to those around him. On one occasion when recovering from illness, he thus expressed his feelings; “I know that my time here is very uncertain, and that I have much to do before my spirit is fully prepared for ‘an inheritance with the saints in light.’ I believe that by a closer religious retirement of mind I shall be enabled to know myself more thoroughly, - to detect the adversary in his various devices, to see my real standing, and to make an advance in ‘the highway of holiness.’ I am abundantly sensible that it is in the ordering of a good and gracious providence that I have been visited with my late tedious indispositon, which has brought me to serious reflection on my misspent time, and upon the great work before me. I have, at times, been mercifully permitted to feel the consolations of an unshaken belief in my Redeemer’s goodness and power; and have put up my secret petitions for an increase of love to my heavenly Father. Hence I can feelingly say; ‘what shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits towards me?’” The concluding illness was connected with extensive disease of the heart. Confining him about seven weeks to his chamber. Although from extreme debility, but little capacity for expression was afforded, yet his exemplary patience under acute bodily suffering, and the precious sweetness of his spirit, afforded consoling evidence that he was fully prepared for the final change; and truly was the promise verified, - “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee.” TBF 04/1849

WOODMary30.06.1849At Dublin, MARY WOOD, in her 60th year. This Friend retired to her chamber in apparently usual health. On the following morning, it was found that her spirit had departed, and that this solemn event had probably taken place some hours before. Her life, from an early age, was a continued scene of useful exertion. For many years, she was employed in institutions for those of our suffering fellow-beings afflicted with the loss of their mental faculties; and though her first introduction to this service seemed to be a casual circumstance, it subsequently bore the mark of providential allotment, so soon did she evince that she was gifted, in a remarkable degree, for the arduous calling. Without any claim to superior intellect, she gave a striking example of how “the one talent,” rightly occupied may be blessed to the befefit of others. With singleness of purpose, and intuitive firmness and presence of mind in emergencies, joined to great tenderness of disposition, she was enabled to consult the safety of those under her care, to soothe their perturbed minds, and, in other respects, render truly comfortable the bereaved objects of her kind solicitude; by many of whom, who regained the use of their reason, she was remembered with affection and gratitude; while her integrity and faithful discharge of duty, won from her employers, and from the relatives and friends of the afflicted, the frequent expression of their confidence and regard. For the last few years, she relinquished this kind of engagement, and it was in the midst of her usefulness, in the more private family circle, that she was suddently called, we humbly trust, “from works to rewards.” Her memory is endeared to many with whom she was associated; and they have a consoling belief that “the work was cut short in righteousness,” and that through the mediation of our blessed Redeemer, she has been vouchsafed an entrance into one of the many mansions prepared in our Father’s kingdom.TBF 07/1849

WILLIAMSMargaret18.07.1849At Dublin, aged 47, MARGARET, wife of George Williams. This dear Friend had removed with her famly to a watering place, about three weeks previous to her decease; and the change of air appared to have a beneficial influence on her health, which previously had not been very good. On the 9th she attended her Monthly Meeting, when her health appeared to be quite restored. On the 12th she was seized with an attack of cholera, the violent symptoms of which subsided the following morning, when fever came on, under which she gradually sunk. Although there was not much expression from her during her illness, yet her composure and resignation were very striking to those around her. To a Friend who asked her how she felt, she said, If it were her Heavenly Father’s will to spare her to her dear husband and family, she would be satisfied; but if not, she trusted in his mercy, that an admittance to one of his Heavenly mansions would be granted her. She was a kind and affectionate parent and much beloved by those who were acquainted with her. Her loss will be severely felt by her family, but they feel consolation in the belief, that her end was peace. - And on the 21st [see below]TBF 07/1849

A few days previous to Margaret Williams’ decease, the latter called to see her, when they had some conversation. On parting, M. W. expressed a hope, that they should meet again in Heaven; either party, perhaps, little thinking how soon that meeting was to be. Martha Scott took ill on the morning of the 21st, and died the same evening. Amongst other expressions, she requested her mother to pray for her, but not to live – stating, “I am not afraid to die.” She was of a placid and engaging disposition from childhood, extremely affectionate and thoughtful; and although her friends feel the bereavement to be great, they are consoled in the belief, that her eternal felicity is far greater.TBF 07/1849

EMLENSarah27.07.1849Of paralysis, at the residence of her husband, West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, SARAH, wife of James Emlen, in the 63d year of her age; a member of Birmingham (but recently of Chester) Monthly Meeting. This dear friend had long been in impaired health, but was riding out on Third-day, the 24th ult. After her return, entire paralysis of the left side occurred, and she became speechless, and thus continued until her peaceful close. About five years since she performed a religious visit to Great Britain and Ireland, to the peace of her own mind, and the comfort of many concerned Friends in those parts. She has also visited in gospel love, at different times, within the limits of nearly all the Yearly Meetings of Friends. Her gift in the ministry was lively and awakening, and she was often led to address particular states in a remarkable manner. The earnest petition of her soul had long been after purity, and that with unsullied garments she might be prepared for the King of saints. Believing that her sojourn here would be short, she repeatedly referred to it; and in a communication in our last Yearly Meeting of Woman Friends, said, she appeared “to stand upon the brink of an awful eternity;” and on the first admonitory pain on the day of her attack, she expressed her belief that her dissolution was at hand. And as she was deeply concerned while exhorting others, that her own day’s work should keep pace with the day, we reverently believe that she has entered into that rest prepared for the people of God, where there is “no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain;” into that city that hath “no need of sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” – Philadelphia Friend, of 8th Month, 4th.TBF 08/1849

MORLEYJohn10.08.1849Drowned, in attempting to ford the passage from Hoylake, in Cheshire, to Hilbre Island, distant about a mile at the mouth of the Dee, JOHN MORLEY, of Birkenhead, aged 38, formerly a Teacher at Ackworth School. The circumstances attending this mournful event are involved in some little obscurity, J. M. being alone at the time of the occurrence. He was seen from the Telegraph on the island, wading across, but the keeper’s attention being suddenly called off, no further notice was then taken; shortly afterwards nothing was visible but a hat floating; and on the ebbing of the tide, the corpse was found on the rocks. It is supposed that as the current here runs very strong, J. M. must have been borne into a deep pool which lay directly in the path he was taking; and that having most of his clothes on, though a good swimmer, he was finally overcome. Sudden as has been his removal, those of this friends who knew him best, have comfort in believing that his exemplary life, and his richly-stored and well-regulated mind, would not find him unprepared for the awful change.TBF 08/1849
WILLIAMSJohn11.08.1849At Burncoose, near Redruth, JOHN WILLIAMS, aged 71. This dear and valued Friend was an elder, whose example, in conduct and conversation, was strikingly consistent. He may truly be said to have been one of the burden-bearers, and an upright pillar in the church. From a Cornish paper we extract the following additional particulars respecting him:- “DEATH OF JOHN WILLIAMS, Esq. – We deeply regret to announce the decease of a gentleman, who, on account of the important position which he held in connection with our commercial interests, and still more for the personal virtues which shone throughout his life, will be long and sincerely lamented, JOHN WILLIAMS, of Burncoose, Esq., who died on Saturday last, in the 72d year of his age. As the head of the Cornish house of ‘John Williams, jun., and Brothers, and of the Swansea Smelting Company, ‘Williams Foster, & Co.,’ we need not say to any one familiar with these names how high and honourable a position he held in the circle of commerce. In this relation, however, it is rare that any man is so eminent but that others are found to re-place him. But the qualities which are characteristic of the man – the warm, expansive charity – the looks and tones of kindness – the ready offices of friendship – the spirit of forebearance with wrongs – and enlarged philanthropy – these, once lost, are lost for ever; and by many a sorrowing friend of the deceased it is felt that the blank thus created can never be filled. The crowning grace of Mr. Williams’ character was one which has been beautifully styled ‘the magnanimity of meekness.’ We doubt if any one who reads this memorial ever witnessed in him, even under those sudden provocations from which, in the business of life, no one can be exempt, a temper at variance with a disciplined mind or a christian spirit. We have only to add, that in early life Mr. Williams was led by a strong religious impression to attach himself to the Society of Friends, in communion with whom he remained to the period of his death.”TBF 09/1849

VALENTINEAnne15.08.1849At Edenderry, Ireland, in her 75th year, ANNE VALENTINE. This dear Friend was favoured with almost uninterrupted good health, till within a few months prior to her decease, when she was attacked with a very painful malady, (cancer in the stomach,) which she bore with Christian fortitude and resignation to the Divine will. On being informed by the physician that her sufferings were coming to a close, she exclaimed, “Oh joy, joy, that’s joyful tidings;” but on being told by him, that it was probable he might see her again, she replied, “I hope not;” but expressed herself satisfied to wait patiently the appointed time, which she was enabled to do; appearing to have a well-grounded hope, not from any works of her own, but through the merits of her Redeemer, that she would be vouchsafed an entrance into the mansions of eternal rest and peace; and her relations are consoled in the belief, that such has been her happy experience.TBF 08/1849

CALWELLWilliam and Mary01.09.1849Of cholera, WILLIAM CALWELL, of Manchester, and MARY his wife; he aged 35 and she 42 years. These Friends moved in an humble sphere of life, but it is believed they were of the Lord’s poor. The husband went to his employ in a cotton mll, leaving his wife in the morning somewhat indisposed; he had not been absent much more than two hours before he also was seized with this mysterious complaint. He left the factory and called at the house of his mother, where the rapid progress of the disease soon prevented his proceeding home. His wife, unknown to him, expired a little before, and he a little after sunset, on the same day. Before the sun had set again, they were consigned to one silent tomb, in the presence of three or four mourning relatives and a number of Friends. How awfully uncertain is life! The children of men “are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.”TBF 09/1849

BRAGGHannah08.09.1849At Hawkshead, HANNAH BRAGG, an elder; and widow of the late John Bragg, in her 96th year. This dear Friend, well known and much beloved by an extensive circle of friends, was for many years so far deprived of sight as to be disabled from reading or any active employment; she was, notwithstanding, preserved in cheerful resignation to the Divine will. Love was peculiarly and instructively her characteristic; and often did she feelingly express her sense of thankfulness, for “the many mercies which had followed her all the days of her long life.” Truly hers was a green old age, her mental faculties being preserved to the last; and the tenor of her life and conversation evincing that her “affections were fixed on things above,” her trust being confidingly placed on the mercy of God in Christ Jesus. The following is extracted from the Obituary of the Kendal Mercury and Northern Advertiser, of the 15th curt.: “Died, on the 8th inst., at her residence, Hawkshead, in the 96th year of her age, HANNAH, relict of John Bragg, a member of the Society of Friends, whom she survived about 5 years. Endued with a kind and amiable disposition, she pursued through her long life the even tenor of her way, winning the respect and esteem of those among whom she resided, and all to whom she was known. In the religious society to which she belonged, she was an useful and valued member, and though to its principles conscientiously attached, hers was no sectarian feeling, but with a heart regulated by Christian principle, and a mind clothed with the mantle of love, she was interested in everything calculated to promote the comfort and happiness of the whole human family. The promotion of ‘peace on earth,’ was an object near to her heart, and much did she delight to hear of any attempt being made towards the abolition of Slavery. “Her mental faculties remaining unimpaired, her conversation was cheerful and instructive. Speaking of her final change, she remarked that she was waiting the appointed time. From the calm and serene manner in which she alluded to the event, she evinced that death was no terror to her. She quietly passed away, and, like a shock of corn fully ripe, is, doubtless, gathered into the garner of eternal rest.” The subject of the above notice was a niece of that eminent minister, Isaac Wilson, of Kendal, of whom there is a considerable account in one of the parts of “Piety Promoted.” Her mother, Hannah Wilson, of High Wray, near Windermere, was also an esteemed minister for 48 years, and of whom a notice appears in the same work.TBF 09/1849

JENKINSAnna Almy & Sarah B.20.11.1849At Providence, Rhode Island, ANNA ALMY JENKINS, aged 59, widow of William Jenkins; and SARAH B. JENKINS, her eldest daughter, aged 22. The melancholy tidings of the awful catastrophe by which both mother and daughter were deprived of life, by the burning of the dwelling-house, are contained in the following extract of a letter, dated the 24th ult., received by a Friend in Liverpool, and which has been kindly handed us- “I saw A. A. J. for the last time, on Second-day, the 19th instant, about 2 o’clock, P.M., at her house. I called to inform her, that two ministering Friends, from the neighbouring Quarterly Meeting, were engaged in visiting the Families of our Monthly Meeting, and proposed paying them a visit that evening. She was gratified by the prospect of seeing them; and the visit was accordingly paid, much to the satisfaction of the visitors and visted. The family retired at their usual hour. The night was very tempestuous, the wind blowing heavily, and the rain falling fast. “A. A. J. and her son Moses, occupied a large room on the second storey of the house, and her daughter’s a contiguous one, with a door communicating between them. A white servant slept in a chamber above the girls, and three coloured servants, two of them females, occupied rooms on the same floor of the third storey, somewhat remote from the family. “About 3 o’clock in the morning, Sarah awoke from a sense of suffocation from smoke in the room. She immediately arose and called Anna, and they directly ascertained that the house was on fire. Their mother was at once called, who aroused Moses, and all rushed into the girls’ room; and raising the widow, called loudly for help.The vent now given to the air rapidly increasing the flames, Moses called loudly for a ladder. Sarah who was much alarmed, and insisted upon attempting to descend the stairs, with her mother and Anna, passed through the dense smoke in the upper hall, until they came to the top of the stairs, where they were met by fierce flames (the lower hall being entirely on fire), which drove them back; and they returned to the room they had left, much exhausted. Anna threw up another window, and succeeded in leaping from it on to the roof of the portico, over the front door of the house; her mother assisting and encouraging her to do so. She then reached back, and got her mother by the hand, and endeavoured to draw her after, but she sunk back into the room, and no doubt instantly expired from suffocation. “In the meantime a ladder was brought by the man servant, who had escaped on the roof of the projection of the house, and from thence unhurt to the ground, and Moses also decended by it, followed by a white servant, who had found her way from her room to the same window. Sarah, we believe, attempted again to find the window, but fell exhausted before reaching it, about midway of the chamber, and no doubt at once suffocated; so we infer, from the position of the spot where her remans were found. Anna was directly taken from the portico, and a ladder placed immediately to the window from which she escaped; but the efforts of the firemen to enter the chamber, were frustrated by the dense column of smoke. The other servants escaped to the ground in the same manner as the man. Eliza Almy was not at home, being on a visit to her friends at Dartmouth. “I think, not more than five minutes elapsed, from the time Sarah was roused from sleep, till all was over with her and her mother. The origin of the fire is unknown, though we believe it began in the kitchen some hours before; the shutters being shut, preventing its being seen from without. “I conveyed Anna and Moses directly to my house, and we shall endeavour, by every means in our power, to supply their terrible loss. Anna’s feet were blistered by the heat of the floor, and also her hands and face a little burned. Both are quiet and composed; they cannot yet fully realize their situation.” The letter goes on to state, that the city was in mourning, and great the concourse at the funeral; that the meeting was solemn and impressive, several Friends being engaged in testimony, and two in supplication. A. A. Jenkins, it appears, had had a strong presentiment that her end was near, and had several times expressed it. Less than a week previous to the awful event, she conversed with an intimate Friend as to the spot where she desired to have her remains laid. “She had also, more than once, expressed that she believed her work in the ministry was nearly, if not quite accomplished. She had returned her certificates to her Monthly and Quarterly Meetings, and informed Friends, that she had been mercifully favoured to perform all the service she believed required of her in England.” Since the foregoing came to hand, an extract from the Providence Journal, has also been received, from which it appears that the bodies were found in the morning, in the cellar, among the ruins of the house. The probability is, that they perished from suffocation, before the flames reached them; and but for the mistake of crossing from the room in which A. A. Jenkins herself slept, all would probably have been saved. When the people who first arrived from without reached the spot, the flames were bursting through the windows, and had obtained such control that no efforts could have saved the house. It was large, built of wood, and open on all sides. The engines were impeded from want of water, and in a short time, a solitary chimney, standing like a ghastly monument amid the ruins at its base, was all that remained of the house. Another letter states, that the mother and eldest daughter did not escape, seems as mysterious as the orgin of the fire, - means of escape being furnished by every room on the second storey, with moderate efforts. But all the circumstances, - lateness of the hour – darkness of the night – severity of the storm, conspired to prevent the availing intervention of human aid to succour those who perished. Add to this the fact, that the family was supposed to be out of the house; which, being of wood and rendered so combustible by the accumulation of paint and varnish, in little more than an hour from the first alarm of the inmates, their happy home was reducted to a heap of smoking ruins; and after several hours of diligent search, the remains of mother and daughter – her first-born – were recovered from the smouldering embers, with scarcely any traces by which they could be identified. The sudden removal of these Friends, and under such circumstances, “is well calculated,” says the Friends’ Review, of 12th Month, 1st, “to impress upon survivors a sense of the uncertainty of time, and the importance of the admonition, ‘Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.’” TBF 12/1849

RANSOMEJames22.11.1849At Rushmere, near Ipswich, in his 67th year, much beloved and respected, JAMES RANSOME, of that place, senior partner in the well known firm of Ransomes and May. The following appeared in the Suffolk Chronicle on the 24th: - DEATH OF MR. JAMES RANSOME – This much respected and worthy member of the Society of Friends expired at his residence at Rushmere, near this town, on Thursday last, after a long and painful affliction. As the senior partner of the celebrated firm whose agricultural implements have ploughed the surface of many lands, nothing need now be said; but as a man, living amongst us for so many years, his departure cannot be permitted without a passing tribute to his praise. Speaking, as we do, with the utmost sincerity, and unused as we are to dissemble our opinions of others by flattery in any shape or degree, and the question were simply put to us to point out an individual who was entitled, by his private virtues, to stand at the head of the community in this district, we should, unhesitatingly, have said, James Ransome. As a master, a parent, a friend, or indeed in any other capacity of social life, we will not say he was unequalled, but he could not be excelled. The town is under great obligations to him for the enterprising spirit he at all times manifested, and which was invariably attended with success. His surviving relatives must enjoy the satisfaction, whilst mourning over their bereavement, of knowing that he leaves behind him the enviable character, so aptly expressed by the poet, “an honest man is the noblest work of God.”TBF 11/1849

SMARTBenjaminxx.12.1849In Australia, (Sir) BENJAMIN SMART, aged about 25, many years apprentice and assistant at Isaac Brown’s school, Hitchin. His father, the late Benjamin Smart, of Rock Mills Warwick, from a peculiar view of the obnoxious distinctions of titles, named his eldest son as above; another was named Master Benjamin; and a third Prince Benjamin, so as to compel the use of these names in order to distinguish them. It failed, of course, in practice, as they were dropped out of the family; and sometimes proved a disadvantage as the children grew up. The young man was a steady Friend, though not a member of Society; and all his family were connected with Friends. He appears to have been cut off under very promising prospects.TBF 09/1850
