ELIZABETH H MAXSON
SEPT. 19, 1822 -- AUG. 25, 1847

"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 4, No 11, p 43, Sep. 2, 1847.
In Westerly, R. I., Wednesday morning, Aug. 25th, Miss Elizabeth H. Maxson, daughter of Jonathan Maxson, in the 25th year of her age. Her health had been declining for some weeks, but she was able to be about until attacked by a fever less than a fortnight before her death. Her sickness was attended with extreme nervous irritability and excessive action of the brain, which after the first few days rendered her unconscious of her situation. As nature gave way to the influence of disease, she gradually sank until she calmly fell asleep in Jesus. Great would have been the consolation to her friends, if she had possessed her reason in the trying hour; but this was denied them, perhaps the more sensibly to remind them of the necessity of preparing for death while in health. This afflictive dispensation of Providence will be deeply felt by a large circle of relatives and friends; but they have the blessed assurance that what is loss to them is infinite gain to her.
