Obituary:
Died, Jul. 2nd, 1844, aged 51 years. aged, Mary Evans, wife of James Evans, Bryniau'r Cymru and Licking county, Ohio. The deceased was the daughter of Owen and Margaret Walters, formerly of Remsen, New York State. Mary Evans was a woman of a diligent and active tendency, and she was always careful about her family. He was, like a neighbour, silent and quiet; and she was seldom seen except in her own house, and in the house of God; she was never to be seen around the houses of the neighborhood unless she had an appropriate message; and so it can be said of her, that she guards at home well. She was a regular member for 31 years with the Calvinists; but she and her family were now, for nearly a year, in union with the Presbyterians of Zion in Newark, under the care of Rev. William Wyley. Her health had not been good since some time ago, yet she was, as she served her family until within eleven days of her when she was taken ill from the disease from which she had a boil and her disease was very heavy while it lasted. At the beginning of her illness, she said to her husband that she would be happy if she could say like Job, 'I know that my Redeemer lives.' Orid, although it was quite cloudy for her, her Heavenly Father did not long leave her without dispelling the fears and doubts, so that she soon came to be able to speak more like one who sees the Far Land, and the King come to it; and she said that now, like Job, she could say that her Redeemer was alive. One day, when a friend came to visit her, and to ask how she was, she said that she was hard on her in terms of her illness. He asked again if he could be satisfied in such limited circumstances? He replied that she was completely satisfied and calm. I, he said, believe that he is able, referring to 2 Tim. i. 12, 'Why do I suffer these things: but I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed; and I have no doubt that he is able to keep what I gave him by that day.' She told her husband another time, that she was leaving. Hee said it was to heaven. I feared a lot of work in my life; but all the fears have gone past the grave: the wife is completely ready. Then he gave orders for her body, where they should bury it; and named the place. So, despite all the doctor's skill, he was getting worse every day; and on the morning of the 2nd of July, he left this bereaved world, and his spirit flew to God who gave him; yes, we are very hopeful that she should see Heaven. She left behind a husband and six mourners. On the morning of the 3rd of July, several of her relatives and acquaintances gathered to pay their last respects to this sister. Reverend preached. William Wyley on the hearing vi the chapel in Newark, from Mark xiii. 37. May this time be blessed for the community and the family, so that we may all come to our duties to live like men to die, and to consider that we will all soon be before the Judge.
