Biography

HENRY MUNRO, Granville, N. S. age 88 ; 11 mo. 21 1857 The goodness and mercy of God through Christ Jesus being renewedly extended to him in advanced age, he was strengthened to yield to its correcting and regenerating influences, and favored to find a place of repentance and forgiveness of sins ; and having been forgiven much, he loved much ; and especially were his affections warm toward those Friends that visited that land in truth's service. Being deprived of his sight by reason of age, he esteemed it a great blessing that he was favored with loving children who kindly administered to his wants, and smoothed his passage to the grave, whither he descended in the hope of a happy immortality.
