75th year to come and spend a little time with us in July 1885. The day she was to come she was taken ill. Ann Morris (whose home was at Barrowden and was in service in Nottingham) with whom she was to have come, brought us word of her sudden dangerous illness. I started immediately I heard. I arrived just in time to clasp her hand, and hear her last calm words before she fell asleep in Jesus. July 22nd 1885. She was to me a dear loving sister. At her funeral, us two aged brothers, her husband, and a large number of nephews and nieces, and circle of friends mourned her loss, giving evidence of their attachment to her, and in appreciation of the excellence of her character. “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord”.
