Notes

  • Obituary: Mr. Edmund Morton \endash Of Middleton, Wilmot, was removed by death, after a short illness, on the 11th day of June, in the 79th year of his age. Mr. Morton, who was a son of the late justly venerated Deacon Joseph Morton, has left a sorrowing widow, with whom he had lived in great harmony fifty-three years, and eight children. He was a benevolent and hospitable man, and was especially kind to the Ministers of the gospel, ...and all the Lord's people. It was known that he was a praying man; but, though he entertained a hope, yet fears with reference to his state kept him back from making a public profession of religion. In answer to an inquiry made by his wife, a short time before his departure, he said, "I put my trust in God, and feel that I am on the Rock." In the absence of the minister resident there, a funeral sermon was preached at the time of his burial, by Rev. James L. Read, of Upper Aylesford from Rev. vii. 9.
