Suddenly attacked with typhoid fever of a severe character, it was well that during health the fear of death had been taken away by a fixed trust and confidence in the Saviour. His hope of salvation was through the one Offering made for sin on Calvary, and this sustained him through the trying hours that were permitted to come upon him. In severe suffering he said to a friend, "I do not know what better I can do than wait until the good Master is pleased to release my poor soul."

Fervent supplication to his Heavenly Father for himself and his family was the clothing of his spirit, and through great mercy he was supported in resignation until his change came.

"We cannot tell what form is his, what looks he weareth now,
Nor guess how bright a glory crowns his shining seraph brow.
The thoughts that fill his sinless soul, the bliss which he doth feel,
Are numbered with the secret things which God will not reveal.
But we know (for God hath told us this) that he is now at rest,
Where other blessed infants be, on their Saviour's loving breast."



Anna Maria MARSHALL
Age: 41
Date of Decease: 8mo. 17 1862
New York.
Wife of Edward MARSHALL.
She was a person of great intelligence, cheerful disposition, fond of study, and acquired a degree of information in early life beyond many of her age, of a social disposition and strongly attached to her friends. When quite young she was impressed with a desire to be accepted by her Saviour, and surrendering her heart to Him, was enabled to follow the teachings of His Spirit, and thus became fitted for usefulness in His cause. In 10th mo. 1844, she was united in marriage to Edward MARSHALL. In taking this important step, she sought Divine guidance, frequently remarking in after life, she believed it had been given her, and that the Lord had sanctioned and blessed their union. Her domestic life exemplified the power of Divine grace: she was a kind and judicious mistress, remembering her responsibility towards the servants placed under her care, endeavoring to instruct and encourage them in best things. To the poor and sick she was a sympathizing friend, brightening the sick room with cheerful, loving words, relieving suffering and want by judicious counsel and benevolent acts. She was much interested in the House of Refuge, and her labors in that institution were justly appreciated. Straightforwardness of purpose, a single eye to her Saviour, marked her character, and all expediency contrary to direct faithfulness she entirely disapproved. She was concerned to bring her deeds to the light, that those which were not approved might be abandoned. She was a devoted student of the Holy Scriptures, prizing them as a precious gift of Divine goodness, searching them with prayer. She encouraged Bible Classes amongst Friends, expressing how much she herself had been benefited, and her faith strengthened by this study. She was a member of the Friends' Bible Class in New York. The following minute will show the estimation in which she was held.

Minute of the women's Bible Class, 11th mo. 1863.
"At the commencement of the tenth year of the Bible Class our hearts were sad, for we missed a dear familiar face, which would be soon no more amongst us. Anna Maria MARSHALL, who has met with us from the beginning, has been called to a mansion of eternal rest and blessedness."

"A few days before her death she left a loving message for us, which was feelingly presented to the class, and we felt that words we had before heard from her lips, were received as a legacy from one who had "gone before." She desired we might not be weary in well-doing, believing our coming together to study the Holy Scriptures had been owned by our Lord, and was pleasing in the divine sight. She encouraged us to continue our meetings, for they had been blest, and if the Holy Spirit was still sought after to lead and direct us, they would prove a blessing to many."

"Faithful was our dear Friend in any duty required of her, and valuable were utterances on occasions when our minds were peculiarly solemnized by the teachings of the lesson before us, and not unfrequently would she with others be led by the perceptible influence of the Holy Spirit to speak of the abounding grace of our Heavenly Father, with earnest desires, that all might come unto Jesus, serve him wholly, and confess Him as our Redeemer before the world."

She had clear undoubting views of the efficacy of prayer, and understood literally the injunction, "Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God," knowing much of the "peace of God which passeth all understanding" to keep her heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Frequently in secret did she plead with her Heavenly Father, that He would strengthen her to do His will. Having faith in His promises, she often repeated to her husband the language of our Saviour, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name I will do it," bearing many testimonies to those promises having been fulfilled in her own experience, so that she could say with the Psalmist, "I love the Lord because He hath heard my voice and my supplications, because He hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live." The common concerns of her household, and the business cares of her husband were brought to the mercy-seat, and she gratefully acknowledged that these prayers never failed to be answered.

She was diffident in speaking of her own attainments; her private memoranda set forth her concern to be found watching for the coming of the Lord. We find under date 4mo. 12, 1852, "Lord, let me not look unto Thy servants, but unto Thee, for thus only can I hope to run the race that is set before me, or to win the crown that is placed at the end of it."

7mo. 26, 1852 she records, "I have just been reading Wm. Penn's advice to his wife on his leaving England, particularly charging her to be systematic in the division of her time, and that of her servants, in their several duties, thus promoting in a high degree not only the comfort of the family but securing a suitable opportunity for religious retirement and reading; this latter clause of my quotation should receive special attention from me, as I am sensible that this important engagement is too often crowded out of its place by other business."

8th mo. 12th, 1852, "This morning in my retirement I was much comforted in remembering some promises to those who were willing to wait, though to tarry long."

10th mo. 31st, 1855. "My private retirement this morning was a season of deep instruction, partly because I realized the immediate power of the spirit in an unusual degree, a memorable time; a very comfortable feeling has continued through the day."

11th mo. 14th, 1861. "We must not only have faith in our Saviour's love and power, but must use diligently the means which in the Divine economy are provided. Not only are we told to 'Watch,' but also to 'Pray,' and not to do these things once, but to persevere in them."

12th mo. 26th. "Our treasure is not to be laid up on earth, but in Heaven, "where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt." The fowls of the air are an example of trust in Providence which is for our instruction. One of the most important of Scripture promises is here given, that those who seek first the kingdom of Heaven shall have all necessary things added."

1st mo. 2d, 1862. "We are enjoined to ask our Heavenly Father for things that we need; He that asketh receiveth, is a blessed promise; and as we know the heart of an earthly parent is inclined to give good things to his child, how much more will our Heavenly Parent give his blessings to those who seek them by prayer in faith."

1st mo. 8th. "Not all that call on the Lord by word only shall enter the kingdom, but those who also do His will. It is an unfailing consequence of living faith in Him that His disciples are immediately ready to do His will; those who profess a belief in Him without this consequence are resting on a false faith; if they realize how much He has done for them they cannot forbear from love and gratitude wishing to manifest that love by acts of service."

She was suddenly taken ill on the 8th of the eleventh month, and for two or three hours suffered intense pain, but during this severe trial her mind was remarkably clear and bright, and on experiencing relief she observed, "What a favor, I have no pain." The next morning she inquired of one of her medical attendants if her case was considered a dangerous one, saying, "Tell me, doctor, exactly what thou thinks -I shall not be alarmed." When he said, "We consider thy case critical," she asked, "Shall I live till twelve o'clock to-day?" To which he replied he thought she would. After expressing pleasure at seeing some friends, she said she had had very severe pain the evening before, and that she had prayed again that her Heavenly Father would be pleased to relieve her from its severity, which He not only did, but also poured into her heart much comfort and happiness, and enabled her to be resigned to His will.

She said that since the age of fourteen years she had been seriously inclined, had desired to live a Christian life, and subsequently had experienced a change of heart, saying, "It is not by works of righteousness which I have done, but the free and unmerited love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord," remarking, "Oh, I am so happy, not exactly gloriously happy, but calmly and peacefully so; I know my sins have been forgiven me; I did not expect such abundant peace; indeed, I think I can say that I am gloriously happy."

On one occasion, noticing those around her looking anxious, she said, "Now do let us take this trial cheerfully; it will do us so much more good." On her husband inquiring of her if she would not like to recover, she replied, "For your sakes (alluding to her husband and only daughter) I would be willing to recover, but for myself I have no choice."

She desired to see her brothers and sister, whom she encouraged to accept the Lord as their Saviour, and to incite one another to love and good works, and not to fear man, saying, "I could have wished to have glorified my Saviour more, but Oh, the fear of man has been a great hindrance to me," and quoted the following text, "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you." At another time, on being asked if her peace continued, she replied, "Oh yes, my trust is in my Saviour, I have none other to trust."

Her mind continued clear till nearly the last. The day before her death her husband asked if she still felt prepared for the change; she replied, "Yes, it is all of the mercy of God in Christ Jesus; I have nothing else to trust to." She continued firm in her confidence that she was one of the Lord's redeemed children and that a mansion was prepared for her in the heavens, and on the morning of First-day the 17th 8mo. she calmly fell asleep in Jesus, and as the spirit ascended to its God, a friend present expressed the language of the Psalmist: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."

[In recording the death of this dear Friend, the Editors of the Annual Monitor feel called to speak of the loss they have sustained. Year after year they have met an unbroken band of united laborers. Now one much beloved, who so cheerfully performed her part, and manifested much interest in the work, rests in Jesus. A void is left in her midst which they deeply feel.

"But oh the bliss sublime,
When joy shall be complete,
In that unclouded glorious clime
Where all His servants meet.

There shall the ransomed throng
A Saviour's love record,
And shout in everlasting song
Salvation to the Lord."]

Anna T. MENDENHALL
Age: 41
Date of Decease: 11mo. 18 1861
Mt. Pleasant, O.
Wife of Cyrus MENDENHALL.
The subject of this notice was the daughter of David and Rebecca T. UPDEGRAFF. She was endowed with warm feelings and a sound and discriminating mind. These were early brought into subjection to the obedience of Christ. Having given her heart to God, and abiding sense that she was not her own, but bought with a price, animated her, and she felt that she should henceforth live, not unto herself, but unto Him who died for her. The idea of duty thus became paramount to all selfish gratification, and she was stimulated to unobtrusive works of benevolence and love to her fellow-beings, and animated by the love of Christ, was diligent in seeking to honor Him , and bring others to the knowledge of that holy religion so dear to herself.

She was a diligent reader and student of the Holy Scriptures, in the contents of which she was well versed. She was also active in the propagation of Divine Truth through their means- not only by aiding in the liberal distribution of the sacred volume, but in promoting the study of its contents, especially through the instrumentality of Sabbath Schools, in which she was for twenty years a valued teacher; and the fruits of her labors in that field attest the skill and fidelity of her instructions.

Deeply sensible of the value of a early right impressions upon the minds of children, she rarely neglected an opportunity of bending them by kind and gentle words, attractive books and pictures, suited to their tender minds, and calculated to elevate and awaken in them a knowledge and love of the Saviour who said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Impressed with the value of their immortal souls, so sweet and loving was her manner of addressing them, that they were always attracted to and rarely forgot her; treasuring her little gifts and words of love with such fond remembrance as furnishes ground to hope that the good seed thus sown will bring forth "fruit to the glory of God."

Her sensitive mind was at an early age deeply affected with the wrongs inflicted upon the African race; and she long labored earnestly and with honest endeavor, not only to efface as speedily as possible the blot of Slavery from the Christian name, but to educate and elevate those whose freedom had been secured. For many years she had refused to participate in the fruits of oppression by their use either as food or raiment.

During a portion of years 1856 and 1857, she resided with her husband at Columbus, Ohio. Here she had ample scope for the exercise of her Christian philanthropy, in every department of which she was warm and untiring. Fully sensible of her solemn responsibility for opportunities of doing good, as one that must give an account, she industriously employed herself in works of love, in daily visits to the Benevolent Institutions, and to the extensive Penitentiary there located, and in inciting others to a like exercise of duty. In the Penitentiary she labored diligently in imparting Scriptural and other religious instruction on the First Day of the week, and in separate visits to the prisoners at other times as opportunity offered. These visits of love were always welcome, and were peculiarly impressive and valuable, the confidence bestowed by the sinful, and her near access to their feelings, being the result of her truly Christian sympathy, which none could fail to perceive, and which scarcely ever failed to touch a responsive cord in their bosoms. Like Elizabeth FRY, she met them as fellow sinners who needed the Saviour equally with herself, and to whom all must come in the same manner. The delicacy of her mind led her to appreciate the desirableness of perfectly private labor with the erring. The following instance may be selected as an illustration: -In visiting a Penitentiary, she was informed of two young sisters confined in a cell, who were considered unusually impious and hardened, and who rejected with abusive scorn all efforts of religious counsel. She asked to be allowed to enter their cell entirely alone, which was thought to be not unattended with personal risk. When locked in with them, they commenced the conversation by deprecating the advice they anticipated, declaring that they were so habituated to their course of vice that they could not reform, and that they had no desire to do so. Our dear Friend, overcome with a sense of their depravity and moral darkness, feeling as though she were in the presence of lost spirits, spoke not, but sinking into a seat covered her face and wept aloud. They stood gazing with amazement, and bursting into tears declared for the first time a desire to amend their lives. The door was thus opened for Christian labor, but the incident is briefly mentioned here to impress the Christian example of thus in delicate privacy seeking to call the sinners to repentance, caring for their souls, and pointing them to One who is still ready to say, "Neither do I condemn thee, Go and sin no more."

During her residence at the State Capitol, several of her relatives and intimate friends being Members of the Legislature, her influence, though put forth with characteristic gentleness and modesty, was felt, and the value of her counsel appreciated and acknowledged in more than one important humanitary measure.

She was liberal in contributing of her substance for the comfort and benefit of those less favored than herself, regarding herself in the light of a steward; she was self-denying in her own expenditure that she might augment her means of doing so, and was an example of Christian simplicity in her dress and in her household. She was very charitable towards the failings of others, rather concealing or excusing them than detracting in any degree from their reputation, ever having in this respect a careful guard upon her lips. In all social relations of life she was a bright example of self-denial, always cheerfully preferring the comfort and honor of others to her own.

Her attachments were peculiarly strong and enduring; the friends of her childhood and early youth (then wisely chosen) were the cherished and endeared friends of her maturer years.

Although it was evident to those around that her life was one of watchfulness and prayer, yet entertaining as she did the necessity of a high standard of Christian attainments, various passages in her diary show with what deep humility and self-distrust she viewed her own.

Under the date of 6th mo. 10th, 1847, she writes, "This day completed my 27th year. Can it be possible I have lived so long! O! how great is the mercy of God in sparing me to the present moment: I am surely most undeserving, for I have presumed upon his love. O! what tongue can utter what heart conceive the deep guilt of so doing! I have desired Christ to come to me, rather than been willing to go to Him on His own terms. O! the pride and selfishness of my heart: how is the carnal mind alienated from God! Let me solemnly ask myself, have I experienced that new birth without which none shall obtain an inheritance amongst the 'just made perfect?' It is true I feel an abiding sense of religious obligation, and I believe a sincere desire to do good and advance the cause of Christ, but am I willing to give up ALL, to become a 'fool for His sake' to renounce the world, to live by faith, continually to watch unto prayer> What doth hinder me from laying hold of the blessed promises? Is not Christ willing to receive even the vilest and most unworthy, and am not I willing to go to Him? O! Lord Jesus, Saviour of Sinners, Thou hast been very merciful in sparing my life to the present moment, Thou hast not cut me off in my rebellion and forgetfulness. Wilt Thou still further manifest Thy abounding mercy, and aid me by Thy grace? O! help me, sanctify my soul, enlighten my heart, 'Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me,' make me truly, fully Thine own."

The theme above all others upon which she most delighted to dwell was the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, and the love of the Saviour to a fallen world. She was earnestly desirous that the ministers of the Gospel in all branches of the Christian church, should be faithful to their high and holy calling, and preach Jesus, the friend of Sinners, the Saviour of the world, the hope of our lost and fallen race.

Although for many years she seemed to live in a constant sense of the uncertainty of life and often spoke of the probability of her own life being short, and the summons of death sudden, an alarming suspension of the circulation of the blood in the summer of 1858, was felt to be a very solemn call to be ready with her "lamp trimmed and burning." Under the date of 9th mo. 29th of that year, she thus refers to it in her diary, "I desire ever to remember the alarming call I have had, to have my accounts in readiness: this I feel was something serious. O! may I more diligently improve the moments that remain."

Thence forward the probability of being suddenly called, seemed, without materially affecting the cheerful brightness of her temperament, to be almost constantly present with her, and the closing paragraph of the last entry in her diary reads, "Blessed Saviour of Sinners, I would come to Thee, let not Satan hinder me, or my own evil heart prevent me. And O! give me grace to improve with all diligence the few remaining moments of life, and be ready to meet Thy messenger, should he come in an unexpected moment." How well founded were her apprehensions of a sudden call the event proved. With the exception of some evidences of slight disturbance of proper action of the heart during the month preceding the close of her life, her general health was good, and she was often more than usually animated. The preceding her decease she perused with deep interest the life of Mary FLETCHER, reading many portions of it aloud to her husband, and remarking with much feeling upon particular passages, especially the words of John FLETCHER to his wife when speaking of happy deaths, "Let us live holy lives, and leave the rest to God," entirely concurring in the sentiment. In the evening at the family Scripture reading, at the conclusion of the usual chapter, she asked for the 91st Psalm, then for the Hymn commencing, "Jesus lover of my Soul," and after that the following:

"My soul be thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise,
And hosts of sins are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.

O! watch, and fight, and pray-
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.

Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down,
Thine arduous work will not be done
Till thou obtain thy crown."

Into the sentiment of which she seemed to center with much feeling. When the family, except herself and husband, had retired for the night, she knelt down with him, and poured forth fervent prayer in his behalf, as if perceiving a foreshadowing of the heavy trial about to befall him, in a strain of melting tenderness and sympathy, imploring that the sustaining hand of Divine love might be underneath to support him in every trial; that he might be faithful to his God, and have faith to see His hand in all things, and grace to acquiesce in the Divine will.

The forenoon of the 18th of 11mo., besides attention to her household affairs, following the interest of the preceding day, she read John WESLEY'S sermon on the Death of John FLETCHER; and when her husband was present gave him many cheering words and evidences of her affection and sympathy. After dinner she wrote a letter to a friend in Minnesota, in anticipation of another friend calling who was about to start to that State. Soon afterwards her friend called, when A. T. M. proposed making up for her distant correspondent a package of articles of utility as a momento of affection, in which she and her guest were busied for half an hour; on completing which, they retired to another room to be seated at the fire for a little parting converse. They were thus engaged with animation when the precious subject of this notice having scarcely finished a sentence, suddenly leaned her head upon her friend's shoulder, and without struggle or apparent pang ceased to breathe, and "Was not, for God took her."

This friend in a latter written from Minnesota, says, "I watched her countenance during all the time we were conversing, for I loved to look upon her bright, animated, and loving face, and did not perceive the slightest change in its expression. I cannot convey the impression she gave through the whole, by words, looks, and gestures- never did she appear more loving, more lovely. There were words I would give much to recall, which should I have been ineffaceably impressed on memory, could I for a moment have thought I was listening to her for the last time. Her presence never failed to make goodness, purity, and holiness, seem more attractive. I clearly recollect this feeling with regard to her while engaged in collecting materials for the package, as well as very often before." While engaged as above referred to, she met with a scrap from a periodical containing what the late Dr. ALEXANDER said to his friend Dr. HALL:- "The greatest heresy is want of love. I feel as if I could join with any who would humbly unite in direct and kind efforts to save sinners and relieve human misery." This she handed to her friend saying, "I would like thee to read this, it conveys nearly my creed, which is Love, all Love."

Whilst warmly attached to the principles of the Society of Friends, and desiring to be useful therein, her Christian fellowship was of too expansive a character to be limited to a portion of the Church: it embraced no less cordially all who bore the image of her Divine Master, whom only she delighted to honor: numbering amongst her intimate and valued friends persons of many religious denominations; and letters of sympathy received by her family since her decease from many branches of the Church of Christ, evince the reciprocal recognition of that image, and the high estimate in which the writers held her character.

He was one of the early settlers of Friends at Lost Creek, Jefferson county, Tennessee, where he resided for about seventy-seven years.

He was a worthy member of the Society of Friends, and a firm believer in the Christian doctrines as professed by them. He had a kind word for all, especially for those in affliction, and the oppressed Africans were subjects of his solicitude, and by word and deed he manifested the deep interest he felt for their welfare. He was diligent in the attendance of meetings, even when disease was making rapid progress in his system, expressing that he was anxious to assemble with his friends, to perform the solemn duty of worship while strength would admit. Through his sickness he was favored with calmness and resignation, remarking at different times, that his only hope and reliance were through the merits of a crucified and risen Saviour, who alone can wash away sins and forgive transgressions. On the day of his departure he passed through much bodily suffering, which he bore with Christian patience, saying to those in attendance, "I have been very much distressed, tried to hair's breadth, but the gracious Lord has sustained me with His all-powerful arm, and I feel that all is well."

Her sufferings continued long, and were at times very severe, yet were borne with remarkable patience. It was thought she at times looked back upon some of the pleasures of life with a hope that she might be restored to health, but this evidently not being the will of her Heavenly Father, she surrendered her own will and became entirely resigned.

She was strengthened as the close drew near by the refreshing presence of Him who is the ever-living fountain of life unto His people, and it is believed was prepared through atoning mercy to be an inhabitant of that city which needeth not the light of the sun or the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God doth lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Wife of Jeptha MORRIS.
Her health had for several years been declining, and she gave evidence during that period of an increasing concern to accomplish, while the day lasted, the most important work of this life, a preparation for that which is to come.

In her daily walk and conversation she exemplified to a remarkable degree the Christian graces- gentleness, patience, faith, and meekness.

As it gradually became apparent that she would soon be called to leave her much loved family, she seemed humbly to accept the invitation to cast all her care for them upon the Lord. She frequently expressed the belief that the grace which had been sufficient for her, and the Providence which had supplied her every need, would not be wanting for their support.

During the last six months of her life she bore with exemplary patience much suffering, often asking to be reminded if at any time she evinced a complaining spirit.

Though she earnestly desired that to the end her own will might in all things be kept in subjection to the Divine Will, and that patience might have "its perfect work," she looked forward with joyful anticipation to her approaching change.

When visited by those who loved the truth, she very sweetly intimated the desire that they should unitedly wait upon the Lord, that their strength might be a little renewed before parting perhaps for the last time in this life.

She appeared often engaged in prayer, said repeatedly that nothing remained in her way, and, trusting for acceptance only in the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, she peacefully fell asleep.
