VREDENBURGH, Mary Charlotte Vredenburgh was born in Michigan, July 24, 1882; died Woodburn, Ore. June 19, 1901. Fourteen years ago she came with her parents from Michigan to Woodburn, Ore., where she resided with her parents until her death. Sister was converted at the Woodburn camp-meeting six years ago, since which time she has been a faithful child of God after failing to walk obediently with God, but was fully restored into grace at the Albany, Oregon camp-meeting two years ago. She began to fail in health more than one year ago, and although she was frequently benefited by the prayer of faith in healing, yet she was clearly shown by unmistakable evidence from God, at two different times, that she was going to die. It has been my privilege to be at the bedside of Sister Matie some of the time during her few last days on earth, and her beautiful resignation to the will of God has been an inspiration to my soul. I was with her during her last hours. Among her last words, just before she felt the cold hand of death upon her, she said she believed that Jesus would soon call for her, but the time seemed so long. We told her that as soon as Jesus was ready for her he would call her home. She looked anxiously up at us, and said, "But why does he wait so long?" We sang the hymn, "My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine," which she appreciated very much; but as we reached the words "And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow," we could truly realize that the "death dew" was upon her brow. She said she was cold and requested that they make fire, and wanted to get up an go to the fire. We assured her that it was death that made her so cold. She was then satisfied, and in an hour from that time closed her eyes to this world, and her gentle spirit which has so much desired to depart and be with Jesus left its home of clay and took its flight to glory. She had folded her hands upon her breast and thus fell asleep in Jesus. Her Christian life had been an example of righteousness and patience to all who have been acquainted with her, and she will be missed in her home and the congregation of the people of God; but we all feel resigned to what we know is the sweet will of God.
No one could wish her back, for while the home circle is broken here upon earth and the loss of their loved one is keenly felt in those bereaved hearts, yet all have the assurance that dear Matie is safe in glory, free from the cares and sorrows of earth, and in the presence of Jesus and loved ones gone before.
She leaves a father, mother, three brothers, and three sisters, who feel that their loss on earth is Sister Matie's eternal pain. Funeral services were held on the camp-ground at the Woodburn camp-meeting. Text Phil 1:23
