In Willing, N. Y., April 21, 1885, Ruth J., wife of Luke G. Witter, deceased, aged 73 years, 6 months, and 10 days.
For many years this dear sister had been a great sufferer, from what was supposed to be lung and heart difficulty, but through strong will power she was able to keep about, and most of the time to do her work, until about one week before her death. But death found her ready, her work well done, as far as we can see.
In her youth she consecrated her all to Christ. She was a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Amity as long as it had an existence, and then she became a member of the Scio Church. When the Seventh-day Baptist Church was organized at Stannard's Corners, she became one of its faithful workers. Her home was the home of the minister, as well as others. All who knew her will remember her as an energetic, conscientious Christian. She has left two sons and their families. How these veterans of the cross will be missed. May their mantle fall upon the young.
J. K.
