Mercy Crandall, seventh child of Oliver Chase and Abigail West Crandall, and sister of the late Rev. Lucius Crandall, was born in Brookfield, N. Y., Oct. 3, 1807, and died in the town of Milton, Wis., March 21, 1905, in the ninety-eighth year of her age.
For more than eight years she has been tenderly cared for by her daughter, Mrs. John Ashley. January 14, 1832, she was united in marriage with Henry J. Garthwaite. Eight children were born to them, six of whom, four sons and two daughters, are still living. Of her descendants, there are twenty-one grandchildren, thirty-four great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. Sister Garthwaite made a public profession of the religion of Jesus Christ and united with the Seventh-day Baptist church of Scott, N. Y., in 1833, so she had been in the Christian service about seventy-two years. She has spoken to the writer of the imperfectness of her service, but never of a desire to give it up, or to rid herself of its responsibilities. She has been weary in the service, but never weary of it. At the time the Rock River Seventh-day Baptist church was organized, she and her husband, became members of it by presenting letters of standing from the church at Scott, N. Y. After so many years of service in the Army of the Lord, she has been promoted to the higher realm of service, where she will see the Master, face to face. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." G. J. C.

Henry Jeffres Garthwait died at the home of his son Orson C. Garthwait, in Milton Junction, Wis., Nov. 15, 1896, in the 91st year of his age.
He was born in Duanesburgh, N. Y., in 1806. In 1832 he was married, in Scott, N. Y., to Miss Mercy Crandall, with whom he lived until his death, a period of nearly 65 years. In the same year of his marriage he experienced religion and united with the Scott, N. Y., Seventh-day Baptist church. They resided in Scott until 1843, when they removed to Victory, N. Y., and in 1851 they removed to the town of Milton, Wis., locating in the Rock River neighborhood. He changed his membership from the Scott to the Rock River church, and retained his membership in the Rock River church until his death. The genuineness of his Christian profession was proven by a well ordered life. The funeral services were conducted by pastor, Geo. W. Burdick, of Milton Junction. The interment was at Rock River. G.
