Mrs. Susanna Lewis, wife of Geo. I. Lewis, and daughter of Eld. Henry Burdick, was born in Newport, R. I., in May, 1795, and died at North Loup, Neb., April 3, 1889, aged nearly 94 years.
Sister Lewis made a public profession of faith in Christ when she was 17 years of age, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Newport, her father being pastor of the church. For 77 years she maintained her Christian walk, and so long as she was in the active possession of her mental powers she bore testimony to her Saviour's love and mercy. She first married William Allen, a sailor, who was lost at sea. October 24, 1845, she married Bro. Lewis, who lives to mourn her decease. Disease and death so blight and destroy the body in which we abide here that they seem, sometimes, to bear rule over all; but in the revelation of Jesus Christ we are taught better; for through him was life and immortality brought to light in the gospel. G. J. C.
