Obituary of Kezia
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1860
YORK.--Kittie L., wife of Rev. A. L. York, of the Oneida Conference, died at Manlius, Onondaga Co., New York, January 20th, 1860, in the 22d year of her age. Sister York embraced religion at an early age, and has thus early been called to quit earthly scenes, and pass to those that are heavenly and eternal. She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church while a member of the New York Conference Seminary, and graduated with the honors of that Institution in September, 1857. Soon after, she was united in marriage to our afflicted brother and consented to share with him the toils and privations of the itinerant life. With talent and education consecrated to the Lord, she was eminently qualified for the position she occupied. And with a heart deeply devoted to the duties of her mission, while the future was opening with its inviting charms, life's promises just beginning to be realized, the flower, too fragile for earth's chilling winds and poisonous breath, was transferred to a more congenial clime. Her last weeks were those of extreme suffering and delirium. But a kind Heavenly Father mercifully interposed his hand between her soul and earth's dear delights. She saw no more husband, sisters, friends--heard no longer prattling childhood; but she caught brighter visions, heard sweeter songs. Calmly and peacefully as summer's evening's latest light she faded away.
"As dies a wave along the shore,
Her troubled spirit sank to rest"
And the sweetness that lingered upon those pale and wasted features, told of an eternal triumph over death and the grave. It was well her work was done, and the preparation made before reason left its throne.--May those she loved so well, and for whose interests she felt so deeply, meet her in heaven.
