Mrs. S. E. A. Edwards
Mrs. S. E. A. Edwards was born in the town of Newfain on the Fishkill mountains in New York state, Aug. 4, 1830.
When six years of age, she with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Wood, moved to Michigan, where she remained for a time, then moved to Wisconsin, then back to Michigan. In the year 1845, when she was fifteen years of age, the family again moved back to Wisconsin, and on Sept. 1st 1849, she was married to her lately deceased husband, Mr. Asa Edwards, Sen.
By this marriage she became the step mother of four children, two girls and two boys who will cheerfully say “she hath done what she could.” She became the mother of nine children, four girls and five boys who all live to mourn her loss except two little sons who died in their infancy. She was always a cheerful and conscientious mother, striving to bring up her family in the right way.
About three years ago she was converted and baptized in the Advent faith, of which she remained a practical, consistent follower. About two years ago her health began to fail, a tumor developing for which a year ago an operation was performed, which for a time seemed to be a perfect success. But last November she had a fall causing it to renew its growth, this time in a malignant form for which there was no help.
She was a great sufferer but very patient. She bore the loss of her companion not quite a month ago, quietly, but felt it deeply, yet knew she would soon follow. Those left to mourn her loss were cheered a few hours before she died, by her last words, which were the old well-known beautiful hymn:
Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are
While on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.
Her life went peacefully out at seven o’clock on the evening of the 13th of July, 1896.
She was laid to rest in the cemetery at the Union church near Oakley by the side of her husband; Elder Sanborn, Advent Minister, officating at the funeral services.
