In Nile, N. Y., March 23, 1893, Caleb Wilcox, aged 72 years lacking 9 days.
Brother Wilcox was born in Williamstown, Vt., April 2, 1821. He was the youngest and last surviving of 11 children. When about 16 years of age he came to Hartsville, N. Y., and in 1847 was there married to Clarinda Truman, who in 1855 died, leaving two little children, a son and a daughter. The latter still survives, the former died when 15 years of age. In 1856 he was again married to Mrs. Sally Gillette, who still survives. Soon after this they moved to the town of Wirt, Allegany Co., where they lived till a few years ago, when they moved to Nile.
Many years ago Brother Wilcox confessed Christ by baptism and became a member of the Richburg Seventh-day Baptist Church, where his membership was at the time of his death. His death was a great shock to the whole community, as he was sick less than 24 hours. The wife left him sleeping sweetly in the morning as she went noiselessly about her work, but toward noon, thinking he was sleeping a long while, cautiously approached his bedside and found him cold in death. Funeral sermon from James 4: 14, and Matt. 24, 44. M. B. K., Jr.
