"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 48, No 6, p 96, Feb. 11, 1892.
Silas Whitford, second son of Dea. William and Hannah Clarke Whitford, was born Sept. 8, 1812, and died after a brief illness of pleuro pneumonia, Jan. 29, 1892, at the age of 79 years and 4 months.
Bro. Whitford's life was one of great activity, usefulness and devotion, to the welfare of those who were providentially made his care. In early life he espoused the cause of Christ and united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church in Brookfield, and of which he remained a consistent and cherished member until his death.
He married Mary Burch, Dec. 30, 1841, to whom were born three sons and four daughters. The three sons, - William Jay, Orson, and Nathan S., and one daughter, Charlotte Whitford, survive him. To this family of young children who were early bereft of a fond mother's care he strove, and with marked success, to supply their great loss. But not alone by his family and kindred but by all with whom he came in contact, he was regarded as a model of cheerfulness, and as the possessor of an abiding faith which knew no wavering in that Master whose servant he was.
His funeral was largely attended at his late residence on Sunday, Jan. 31st, conducted by the Rev. J. A. Platts, and the choir of the Second Seventh-day Baptist Church.
