In Hornellsville, N. Y., June 25th, 1853, of a lingering disease of many years standing, Cynthia, wife of David Satterlee, aged sixty-five years, eleven months, and one day.
Sister Satterlee was a daughter of Charles and Patty Saunders, formerly of Rhode Island. In 1787 the family moved to Berlin, N. Y., where at the age of seventeen she united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church. In a few years she moved to Alfred, and was one of the sixteen who constituted the first Seventh-day Baptist Church in that place at its organization in 1816. In 1847 she moved her standing to the Hartsville Seventh-day Baptist Church, of which she was a worthy member at the time of her death.
Her funeral services took place on the 26th June, when Rev. N. V. Hull preached a very appropriate discourse from Rev. 14: 13. In the death of this sister the community is bereft of a peace-maker, the church of a very devoted member, a large family of children of a Christian counselor and mother, and a husband of a very kind companion. H. P. B.
