At Alfred, N. Y., Oct. 8th, 1869, Freeborn Hamilton, aged 83 years, 10 months, and 29 days. Bro. Hamilton was born in East Greenwich, R. I., where he remained till eighteen years old, when he removed in company with several of his neighbors to Brookfield, N. Y. In 1815, when about thirty years of age, he took his family, and moved to the town of Alfred, and settled in the then unbroken wilderness just above Baker's Bridge. Soon after settling in Allegany, through the hallowed influence of a godly wife, he made a profession of religion, and joined the 1st Alfred Church, and after the organization of the 2d Alfred Church, he transferred his membership to that, living a consistent life, and dying in the assurance of immortal life. For nearly three years, Bro. Hamilton had been entirely blind, groping in the darkness, yet patiently waiting and longing for the full light of the heavenly land; and, as if in answer to his prayers, just as the evening shadows of the Sabbath were thickening, he quietly closed his sightless orbs on earth, and opened them in the eternal Sabbath above.
