In Petersburg, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., Feb. 23d, Mrs. Sarah Potter, widow of the late Stephen Potter, Esq., (whose obituary was inserted in the Recorder of April 30th, 1846,) in the 85th year of her age. Mrs. P. was a native of the State of Rhode Island. In her youth, she remembered her Creator, became a disciple of the Lord Jesus, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Hopkinton. She was one of the pioneer matrons in the early settlement of the land in which she is entombed. Her life has given satisfactory proof that hers was not a dead faith, but one that was productive of the fruits, graces, and hopes of the Gospel.
She has now gone to meet the husband of her youth and companion of her toils, who recently left her shrouded in the gloom of widowhood. To those who knew her, eulogy would be useless; her worth and pious example are too well known to need a registry here. Suffice it to say, that the religion of Jesus, which was the object of her early attachment, was the solace of her advanced life, and shed its sweetest comforts upon her in death.
