In Alfred, Allegany Co., N. Y., of dropsy, Mrs. Hannah Smith, wife of Deacon Stephen R. Smith, in the 49th year of her age. The subject of this notice embraced religion in her youth, and was a member of the first-day Baptist Church in New Lebanon; after she moved into this place, she united with the first Seventh-day Baptist Church; and when the second Church was organized here, she was one of the number who were dismissed for that purpose.
Her life was a practical demonstration of the power of the gospel to save from sin, and to sustain its subjects under all the trials and afflictions to which they are exposed whilst passing onward to the haven of rest. Her death was calm and peaceful; and no one who knew her doubts but that an abundant entrance was administered unto her into the kingdom of God her Saviour. She sleeps in Jesus.
J. H. C.
