In Farina, Ill., April 23, 1891, Mrs. Sarah Burdick Langworthy, wife of Robert Langworthy, aged 76 years, 7 months and 23 days.
She was born in Burlington, Conn., Aug. 31, 1814. Her father's name was Daniel Burdick. The family moved to Brookfield, N. Y., when she was yet a child. She was baptized by Eld. Eli S. Bailey and united with the Second Brookfield Church, with which she retained her membership until she was united with the Farina church about ten years ago. At the age of nine years she had a fall which injured her spine, and from that time she was never well. During most of her life she was unable to walk, and much of the time was a great sufferer. Left, at the death of her father, without the means of support, she was aided several years by the church of which she was a member. Then she was kindly taken care of by cousins in Michigan to whom she was conveyed on a bed. After ten years with them she went to West Hallock, Ill., where, though unable to walk, she worked at dressmaking, from house to house for thirteen years, and until she was married to Mr. Robert Langworthy, ten years ago last September. She then came to live with her husband in Farina. While living here she has been able to walk most of the time. It is worthy of mention, by reason of the disposition she has made of her property, that so diligent had she been at her trade, and so carefully had she saved and invested her earnings, together with presents received from friends, that on coming to Farina she was able to buy a house and live on a pleasant corner of the village, and still have money at interest. By her will, her husband, who has been very kind in his care of her, is to have the income from the property so long as he lives, after which it is to be sold and $100 go to the Brookfield church and the rest to the Missionary Society. According to the testimony of her friends she has been a faithful, consistent Christian, and much interested in the success of the Master's cause as represented by our denomination. Although much of the time she was a great sufferer, yet she seemed generally cheerful, patient, and considerate of the comfort of those who waited upon her. She was held in high esteem by her husband's children, all of whom were settled in life before she was married. Her funeral was fully attended at the church, where a sermon was preached by the pastor, from Rev. 14: 13. C. A. B.

Sarah and her family lived several years in North Stonington, Connecticut whence they removed 1815 to Truxton, NY, she riding all the way on horseback and carrying her three months old baby.

  In Truxton, N. Y., Jan. 1st, Elias Irish, in the 71st year of his age.   The subject of this notice in early life embraced the Sabbath and united with the church in Hopkinton, R. I.   In 1815 he removed to the place of his late residence, and subsequently united with the church there.   At times he seemed to enjoy much of the love of God, but at others he allowed his mind to be disquieted by the aberrations of his brethren.   The impropriety of this fruit of a sentiment, so common in many of our churches, he saw and depreciated in the strongest terms during his last illness, and died in the assurance of peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.     J. R. I.
