At Ashaway, R. I., March 26, 1885, of bulbar paralysis, Lucy A. Irish, wife of Dea. Matthew S. Kenyon, in the 66th year of her age. Sister Kenyon was baptized and united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton in the Autumn of 1834, with one hundred and forty-three others, as the fruitage, under God, of a series of meetings, conducted by Eld. Nathan V. Hull, while the church was under the pastorate of Eld. Matthew Stillman. She was remarkable for her cheerful Christian disposition, and was faithfully energetic not only in her own home, but also in the church and society where she will be greatly missed. Funeral services were held at the house March 30th, conducted by the pastor, assisted by Elds. A. E. Main, U. M. Babcock, and L. F. Randolph. A very large number of relatives and friends expressed by their presence their sympathy with the family, and respect for the departed, who had completed a half of a century in the service of her master.
