In Westerly, R. I., Jan. 17, 1882, of pneumonia, John Hiscox, in the 86th year of his age. Born and reared in the town of Westerly, and having lived in the village for forty years, he might truly be called one of the old landmarks. He was known of all, and as universally respected as he was known. Six children have preceded him to the better land, while four remain to be a support and comfort to their mother, who, after more than sixty years of married life, has come at last to the loneliness of the widow's lot.
Brother Hiscox was a tried and true member of the Pawcatuck Seventh day Baptist Church. His sickness was brief, but the summons was not unexpected or unwelcome. His full day's work was done, and life's sun sank naturally to rest; but the presence of the divine Master made it glorious, and thus were fulfilled the words of the prophet, "And it shall come to pass that at evening time it shall be light." L. A. P.
