Our departed sister, whose maiden name was Scovil, was led to embrace the Saviour while in her youthful days, and to confess Him before the world. She was baptized by the late Rev. Theodore S. Harding. With her beloved husband, whose death occurred November 5th, 1856, she was permitted to live upwards of 56 years. Their children, six in number, all professed religion; and one of them, Rev. James H. Tupper, is an esteemed minister of Christ. Sister Tupper was especially attentive and kind to the sick and afflicted. To promote their comfort she frequently subjected herself most cheerfully to much inconvenience, toil, and hardship. Very readily would she wait upon the Lord's people, for whom she entertained a strong affection. She delighted to unite with them in religious exercises. During many of the latter years of her life she suffered greatly from a diseased state of her eyes; and ultimately lost her sight entirely. She generally possessed a firm confidence in the Saviour; and frequently expressed an ardent desire to depart and be with him. In accordance with her request, Rev. Abraham Stronach preached at the time of her interment. An appropriate discourse was delivered from a text expressive of the state of her mind, namely, Job vii. 16, "I would not live alway." Truly, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." - Communicated by Rev. C. Tupper.
