- At Milton, Wis., April 26, 1884, Mrs.
Fannie NEWCOMB, aged 86 years, 7
- months, and 14 days. Sister NEWCOMB,
whose maiden name was Fannie SAUNDERS, was born at Westerly,
R.I. When 15 years of age she moved with her parents to Darien,
Genesee Co., N.Y. She was married to Robert WILLIAMS in
1816, and was baptized by Elder Asa BURDICK at the age
of twenty-one and afterwards united with the Church at Clarence,
N.Y., when organized in 1828. Her husband died in 1835, leaving
her a widow at the age of thirty-eight years with eight children,
then living and one deceased, five of whom are still living,
three sons and two daughters. She was married again to Daniel
NEWCOMB in 1849, after living a widow some fourteen years
during which time she has reared to maturity her large family
of children. In 1852 she came to Milton to reside and has ever
since been an active and useful member of the Seventh-day Baptist
Church at Milton. Sister NEWCOMB was the youngest of a
large family of children all of whom have gone on before her,
excepting one sister two years older, a Miss SAUNDERS,
residing at Alfred Centre, N.Y. She suffered to some extent in
her illness but she was enabled to bear it patiently. It seemed
a joy to the children and grand-children to minister to her in
the last years of her bodily infirmities and illness, and must
be a great consolation to them now to know they ministered to
her so cheerfully and abundantly. The funeral exercises were
held on First-day from the Church of which she was a member;
the sermon was preached by her pastor. A large concourse of friends
was present. She will be long remembered among us as a vigorous
and excellent woman and a devoted Christian. E. M. D. [Vol.
40, No. 19, p. 5]
