Died - In Henderson, Jefferson Co., N. Y., on the 25th of July last, Deacon Elisha Crosby, aged 65 years. Brother Crosby embraced the religion of Christ some 24 years ago, and was about the same time converted to the Sabbath of the Lord. He was one of the thirteen who at that time were organized into a church know as the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Adams. He was afterwards chosen as Deacon, which office he filled with honor to himself and entire satisfaction to the church.
The latter years of his life were marked by a strong and active faith, and a hearty devotion to the interests of the church. He had been, for a number of years, afflicted with a cancerous affection, which, in defiance of the skill of physicians, finally brought him down to the grave. Although his flesh was daily consuming, and his body tormented with the keenest pains, yet his soul was calm and tranquil, big with the hope of immortality, and he patiently waited the coming of his lord, until the eyes of his faith saw him approaching, when, with shouts of triumph and hosannas to God, he bade his friends farewell. G. M. L.
