Mrs. Hannah Silver.
Mrs. Hannah Silver died at Silver's Mills, near Dexter, Maine, March 16, after a brief illness, at the age of 93 years, 2 months and 5 days.
She was born in Richmond, Me. Her maiden name was Hannah Card.
Feb. 4th, 1835 she was married to Samuel C. Silver, who died some 14 years ago. In the fall of 1845 they moved to Silver's Mills. There were born to them eight children of which number only three are living, Chas. Silver with whom she lived, Mrs. Hannah Brackett, who tenderly cared for her mother to the end and Mrs. Ellen Bailey of North Auburn, Me. Mrs. Silver being possessed of sensitive retiring nature combined with a fine intelligence, pondered early in life the deep questions of the Christian faith, and made her decision according to the word of God. Living each succeeding year in communion with the Spirit of Divine Truth, the vicissitudes and trials of a long life were met by an increasing service of love from her consecrated life, and with the closing periods of age there was no weakening of faith or wavering of trust in her Saviour, for just a few days before passing away she repeated to her daughter the following words:
I will be with thee
Thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee
Thy deepest distress.
The tender ministrations of her family surrounded and comforted her as the shadows of mortal life deepened, and when the frail body yielded in the struggle with disease, the soul was calm and responsive almost to the latest breath. So has she gone to the home for which she lodged, bequesting to those who cherish her memory the precious example of an exalted Christian mother, grandmother, sister and friend, with these thoughts surging in the hearts that loved her she was laid to rest.
Funeral services were held on Monday, March 19th, conducted by her pastor, Rev. B. G. Seaboyer.
