Obituary
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1889
READ.--On October 22, 1889, Elizabeth, wife of John Read, grocer, late of 3d Avenue and 11th Street, New York, and daughter of the late Rev. John Caughey, for many years city missionary and Bible reader, passed quietly to her reward above. Born of eminently Christian parents, she entered upon an inheritance of saintliness from infancy, and never krew what it was to be other than a believer in Christ. Her long connection with 7th Street Church, New York, was a continued walk of cheerful goodness and consistent maintenance of the means of grace. Gentle but positive in her Christian deportment, she was loved and honored by all. She had finished reading her Bible and her hymn book as was her custom, having marked some passaged as she read, just before retiring for the night, and, as it appeared, without a struggle, and with word and psalm still on her lips, she heard the Master call, and responded, "Here I am," and was gone.
