Death Notice

DIED - Of consumption, in Adolphustown, on the 1st September, Waty, consort of Mr. Lazarus Gilbert in the 46th year of her age. Her parents Mr. William Casy and Martha his wife, were among the first settlers of this Province. Whilst their hands were occupied in the affairs of a new settlement, their hearts were arrested by the Gospel through the instrumentality of Ministers known by the name of Methodists. Having obtained heart-felt religion, these pious parents were not forgetful of the spiritual wants of their children.

Their daughter Waty in her 13th year became sensible of her naturally lost state and joined the Methodist Church. Two years after, while attending a Camp Meeting, (the first held in Canada,) she obtained pardon and grace; and from that happy day until her death she retained her standing in the Church and a union with her God. Various and heavy were her trials through life. At the death of her former husband, Mr. J. West, (of whose happiness in his last moments the readers of the Christian Guardian some time ago heard,) she was left in slender circumstance, with a family of small children, but help was given her from both heaven and earth. --

Her friends afforded assistance in bringing up the little ones, and the widow’s God kindly gave the ‘daily bread.’ Her union with Mr. Gilbert was a happy one. Then she could say, the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places, I have a goodly heritage. In 1834, her health began to fail. The following Autumn her hetic fever alarmed her friends, and a severe cough soon prostrated her remaining strength. Her pious friends often prayed with her, and on these occasions she frequently manifested much joy. When she became sensible of her approaching dissolution, with great strength of mind she gave directions respecting the course of life she wished her children should pursue. She spoke of death with composure, as one who had a treasure beyond the grave. Her last words were “Glory to God!” in reference to her, the words of the wise man are applicable “The woman that fear the Lord, she shall be praised.”

At her funeral an appropriate and very impressive discourse was addressed to a deeply affected assembly. - [Christian Guardian.^[2]
