In Shiloh, N. J., Jan. 16, 1855, of typhoid fever, accompanied with inflammation of the lungs, Mrs. Sarah Ann, wife of Eld. Walter B. Gillette, in the 47th year of her age. Mrs. Gillette made a profession of religion when in her twentieth year, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Friendship, Allegany Co., N. Y. Subsequently, when her husband was called to the pastoral charge of the Church in New Market, N. J., she removed her membership to that place; and in 1853, from the same occasion, she united with the Church at Shiloh, her native place. During her last illness, she suffered much. In the early part of her sickness, in view of past delinquency, she expressed some doubts of her preparedness for death. But on being reminded of her past experience, her faith in the Redeemer, her former joys, her sacrifices for the cause of Christ, and above all God's mercy and faithfulness towards those who put their trust in Him, the evidences of her adoption were brightened, and her hopes of heaven confirmed, saying emphatically, "Yes, I have a hope." Frequently she expressed a wish to depart and to be with Christ. Such was her anxiety to depart, that she often expressed fears that she should be impatient; and on one occasion, when a wish was expressed by her friends that she might yet live to be a blessing to her family and to her community, she replied, "If I live, I am afraid that I shall lose that sweet hope I now enjoy." She was much devoted to the welfare of her family, to whom she calmly gave directions about their future course, and kindly admonished them to discharge with fidelity the duties devolving upon them. In her intercourse with society, it seemed to be her greatest happiness to make others happy. We trust that our loss is her estimable gain. Her funeral took place in the afternoon of the 18th, when a discourse was delivered by Eld. D. Clawson, other ministering brethren present participating in the exercises.
