"The Friends' Review; page 107
BEALS. — On the 20th of Eighth month, 1870, Rachel, wife of David Beals, an exemplary member and elder of Center Monthly Meeting, Iowa, aged 64 years. She was truly a mother in Israel, a pillar in the Church, faithful in maintaining, by principle and in practice, the Christian doctrines of the Society of Friends. A few weeks before her death, her children, grandchildren and other Friends being assembled, a solemn meeting was held in which lively prayers were offered, and the beloved sufferer spoke very sensibly of her approaching decease, ex- pressing her readiness to depart and her sense that merciful Saviour was ready to receive her. She was fervent in edifying exhortations to faithfulness in the Lord ; dwelling on the Scriptural account of the people shouting: " hosanna in the highest." She desired to exalt the Name which is worthy of all praise ; and in this heavenly frame of mind she continued until her peaceful exit."
