In Almond, Allegany Co., N. Y., May 22, 1852, Mrs. Polly Cottrell, wife of Benjamin Cottrell, deceased, in the 69th year of her age. Sister Cottrell in early life became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Berlin, Rensselaer Co., with which she continued until she joined the Petersburg Church. Her disease was cancer, and very painful; but God gave her grace to endure it with Christian fortitude, enabling her to give the best evidence that she was a child of his. She welcomed the approach of death, and departed with joy.
