At Utica, Wis, May 11, 1891, Mrs. Armenia Palmer West, aged 85 years, 7 months and 3 days.
Mrs. West was born in Eastern New York, Sept. 28, 1805. Her parents were First-day Baptists, and when she was young, removed to Madison county and settled on Oneida Creek, near Durhamville. She was married to Isaac West, January 16, 1831. Three children were born to them, Lucy, William and Ann Genette. Lucy died in infancy. In the spring of 1844 she, with her husband and family, removed to Wisconsin and settled in Koshkonong, four and a half miles from Fort Atkinson. In the fall of 1848 they removed to Spring Prairie, Walworth Co., where she had a brother living. April 10, 1849, she became a widow. Her surviving daughter died March 27, 1861. William has been a resident of Utica, Wis., for more than 37 years, and for 25 years a deacon of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of that place. The religious experience of the deceased was one of richness and growth. She accepted her Saviour in early life and became a member of the First-day Baptist Church of Durhamville, N. Y., of which her father was a deacon. She retained her membership with that faith until she became a convert to the Sabbath, and united with the Utica Church, Nov. 12, 1870. The funeral services were conducted by the undersigned, assisted by M. G. Stillman. F. O. B.
