In Milton, Wis., Aug. 10th, 1870, of typhoid dysentery, Mrs. Eusebia Sweet, wife of Perry Sweet, and daughter of Luke and Susannah Maxson, of Alfred, N. Y., in the 56th year of her age. She early gave her heart to Christ, and at thirteen years of age united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Alfred. She was married in 1833, and with her husband went to reside for a few years in Ceres, Pa., whence they removed to Milton, in 1841. Here she united with the church, which she left only to join the church triumphant. Her last illness, although of only ten days continuance, found her ready and willing to die. Her sweet expressions of peace and joy were heard by many as they gathered in tears around her dying bed, and will be treasured as hallowed mementos of the dear departed. The night preceding her last on earth, while her two sisters-in-law were watching by her bed, she asked them to sing "The Land of Beulah," and when their voices faltered, her own triumphantly continued the strain. When asked what message she would send to dear relatives far away, she said, "Tell them I died in the triumphs of faith." Her only regret appeared to be, to leave her sorrowing husband. Yet she strove to comfort him with the comfort which she herself experienced. The bereaved husband, and two daughters, share largely in the sympathy of their many friends.
