Carroll County Mirror, Mount Carroll, Illinois Friday, September 27, 1872
Lawson Bancroft died on the tenth day of September, 1872, of general debility, aged sixty years. The deceased was afflicted several years and bore his suffering with Christian fortitude, without a murmur of complaint to the last. He was perfectly willing to die, and be released from suffering, with the glorious prospect of the future, the inheritance of the Kingdom of God. Through a resurrection from the dead to an inheritance that is inerruptable, and will not pass away, reserved in heaven for us.
The funeral was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends, to pay their last respects to the departed one. We brethren do not sorrow as those having no hope. We believe he was laid away in the tomb, to await the resurrection morn, when the trumpet will sound, and the dead in Christ will rise first, and the righteous living will be changed from mortal to immortality, and all will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. May we all be ready for that happy meeting where parting is no more. Preaching by the writer. John xi Chapter 25 and 26 verses.
