Horace Walpole Satterlee, grandson of Elder William Satterlee, for many years pastor of the Berlin Seventh Day Baptist Church, and son of William and Rowena Satterlee, was born at Berlin, N. Y., November 5, 1829, and died at Rome, N. Y., December 25, 1914, aged eighty-five years, 1 month, and 20 days.

He was baptized by Elder James L. Scott, who was pastor of the Berlin Church from 1847-1849, and united with the church in March, 1848. On May 30, 1857, he was married to Melissa R. Gavitt, who died March 29, 1871. There were four children of this marriage: Charles M., William H., Alice M., who is Mrs. C. E. Rogers, of New Market, N. J., and Ernest, who died in infancy. Later, October 3, 1872, he married Harriet F. Benedict, who died July 31, 1901. There was one daughter, Laura, by this last marriage, who lived with her father until a few weeks before his death.

Mr. Satterlee lived at Berlin until about 1874, when he moved to Verona, N. Y. After living at Verona, Brookfield, and Norwich, N. Y., he moved to New Market, N. J., where he was made deacon of that church, March 6, 1887. A few years ago he came back to Berlin, his birthplace and boyhood home. He frequently referred in appreciative terms to his grandfather and seemed glad that he was the grandson of such a great and good man. He often spoke with pleasure of the privilege which he had enjoyed of being deacon. Thus there were many things in his life which show that he was striving to keep his mind and heart upon those things which are above.

About one and a half years ago, he and his daughter Laura went to Verona, N. Y. On Christmas morning, Mr. Satterlee passed away from the earth and its toilings to his eternal home. His body was brought back to his childhood home for burial.

The funeral services, conducted by Rev. Herbert L. Cottrell, were held at the Berlin Seventh Day Baptist church, December 27, 1914.
