Anna BEESON   ( -1865)

BEESON— Anna Beeson, daughter of Jesse Beeson, died at the residence of her father in Uniontown, Pa., Jan. 18th, 1865, of Pulmonary Consumption.

It has seldom fallen to my lot to record the death of so interesting a person as Anna. To remarkable beauty, were added the qualities of an excellent mind, a warm heart and a genuine Christian life.

She was converted to God and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, when about sixteen years of age, and continued a faithful follower of the Lamb until the close of her brief life. When in health she was always faithful to all the means of grace. She was particularly attached to the Sabbath School, in which she was devoted and capable teacher, and after she had ceased to attend all other meetings she was still at times present at the head of her class of little boys, apparently unwilling to give up the discharge of the duties of her important trust. But her work was done and the Master called her home.

   Her illness was protracted through several months, yet although so young, she never complained. She was always, whether in sickness or in health, one of the most amiable beings and during her last illness it was esteemed a pleasure to wait upon her.

She gave ample evidence of a preparation for death, when the crisis came she met it with Christian fortitude, declaring that she was not afraid to die. She left dear friends to mourn her early departure, but they have a great consolation.

Like some bird which had found its cage open and flown away to sing amid the groves of some sunnier clime, so Anna's sweet spirit has flitted away to join the anthems of the redeemed. May God grant them a happy reunion in that beautiful land.      H. L. C.
