Died, at his home five miles west of Holyoke, March 9, 1889, Nelson Austin, aged 63 years, 1 month and 19 days.
Brother Austin was one of the pioneers of this Frenchman valley, laving endured the early hardships of homesteading with the rest of us, and made friends as far as his aquaintance extended. He was an affectionate father, a good citizen and a devoted christian.
I preached the funeral sermon of
Brother Austin, from Rev. Xiv, 13, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, sayeth the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." Which was so appropriate in his ease, as he left a bright testimony.
That he is gone to rest in the Lord
From his works of toil and cares
But even [?] loves golden cord
That will bind us closer to him over there
Sister Austin wishes me to say to those constituting the large gathering who attended the funeral, that she extends grateful thanks to them for their kindness and respect for the services rendered. The singing, conducted by the Hoffman brothers, was suitable for the occasion.
May the Lord bless the bereaved family and may they be conducted by the gospel of Christ to those mansions prepared for the faithful.
