Widow Abigail Dayton
Comment: On the Sabbath; an aged and pious woman. She was the
last surviving person that was a member of the Church under the
Reverend Mr. Huntting. She died four Days only before the
Reverend Dr. S. Buell
19 Jul 1798 - Name:
Reverend & Venerable Samuel Buell, D. D.
Comment: much regretted; who was born at Coventry, in
Connecticut, Sept. 1, 1716, and died in the 82nd Year of his age
and in the 57th of his ministry. He was installed Septr. 19,
1746, as the Pastor of the people in this place. He caintinued
regularly as their minister till his death. On the Sabbath but
one before his Death he preached from John 17th, 3d,
"Instead of fearing he longed for the hour of
Dissolution." Thursday, July 19th, at about 1 o'clock P. M.,
he obtained his release from the cares & sorrows of mortality
and entered, as we have the fullest reason to believe, into the
Joy of his Lord. His funeral was attended the next day by the
neighboring ministers, his own congregation, and a large
concourse of people from the adjacent towns, with the most
"Solemn Decency & Respect."
"Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the north winds breath, And stars to set-but all, Thou hast all reasons for thine own, oh Death. Youth and the opening rose May look like things to glorious to decay, And smile at thee-but thou are not of those That wait the ripened bloom to seize their prey. We know when moons shall wane, When Autumns hue shall tings the golden grain, But who shall teach us when to look for thee-Is it when Springs first gale Comes forth to whisper where the violets lie? Is it when roses in our paths grow pale? They have one season-all are ours to die." "It is a serious and unfortunate error of people in general to suppose that events familiarized to themselves by fireside repetition will be uninteresting to others and that efforts to preserve them will be considered as either triffling or arrogant." Dwights Travels. East Hampton. This world is a wilderness of woe, This world is not our home, Jerusha Buel, East Hampton, Long Island, Suffolk County, New York. Jerusha Buel, Easthampton, Easthampton, Mrs. Mary Buell, Mrs. Mary Buell, Easthampton, Mary Woolworth, Bridghampton.
In the midst of life we are in death. Jerusha Buell, Easthampton, February 21st, 1814. The loss of our friends and companions impresses hourly upon us. The necessity of our own departure; we know that the schemes of man are quickly at an end, that we must soon lie down in the grave, with the forgotten multitudes of former ages, and yield our place to others, who, like us, shall be driven awhile by hope and fear, about the surface of the earth, and then like us, be lost in the shades of death. It is not from this world that any ray of comfort can proceed to chear the gloom of the last hour. But futurity has still its prospects; there is yet happiness in reserve, which if we transfer our attention to it, will support us in the pains of disease and the languor of decay. This happiness we may expect with confidence because it is out of the power of chance and may be attained by all that sincerely desire and earnestly pursue it. On this, therefore, every mind ought finally to rest. Hope is the chief blessing, of man, and that hope only is rational, of which we are certain that it cannot deceive us. "Death to a Saint is everlasting gain." Jerusha Buell, daughter of the Reverend Dr. Samuel Buell, Deceased, departed this life September 29, 1829, in the 41 year of her age.
In recording her death, it is proper to remark that in the latter part of her sickness, she was peculiarly favored with the comforting, joyified presence of the Great Shepherd of his people. While wasting under the ravages of a disease which she was sensible would terminate her earthly career, she experiencd that blessed tranquility of mind which flows from the enjoyment of the divine favor of love. Numerous were the expressions of triumph & joy which fell from her lips in her last days. The consideration that "the Lord reigneth" was a source of unspeakable consolation to her soul. She rejoiced to obey the will of her heavenly Father. The closing scene of her life was one in whichchristian fortitude rose superior to the sufferings of body & the agonies of disolving nature. Christian faith triumphed over the power of death & the grave & Christian hope cheered the immortal Spirit, when it took its flight, as we have reason to believe, to the mansions of everlasting rest & glory.
The surviving parent of the deceased has abundant cause to bless the Lord for his goodness. Though the memory of your departed daughter may often bring the tear of grief into your eyes, let the spirit of resignation reign in your heart and the voice of praise dwell upon your tongue. May he who has promised to be the Widow's God be your guide & Comforter. In the decline of life may you experience the consolations of Divine Grace & May the hour of your death be cheered with the hope of a blessed & glorious immortality.
"The Grave of the
Year." (Written for the 31st of December.)
"Be composed ev'ry toil and each turbulent motion
That encircles the heart in lifes treacherous snares
And the hour that invites to the calm of devotion
Undisturbed by regrets-unincumbered with cares
How cheerless the late blooming face of creation
Weary time seems to pause in his rapid career
And fatigued with the work of his own desolation
Looks behind with a smile on the grave of the year.
Hark the wind whistles
rudely-the shadows are closing
That enwrap his broad path in the mantle of night
While pleasure's gay sons are in quiet reposing
Undismayed at the wrecks that have numbered his flight:
From the temple where pashions bright tapers are lighted
Her vot'ries in crowds, decked with garlands appear
And as yet their warm hopes by no spectres affrighted
Assemble to dance round the grave of the year.
Oh! I hate the stale cup
which the idlers have tasted
When I think on the ills of lifes comfortless day
How the flowers of my childhood their verdure have wasted
And the friends of my youth have been stolen away
They think not how fruitless the warmest endeavour
To recall the kind moments neglected, when near
When the hours that oblivion has cancelled forever
Are interred by her hand-in the grave of the year.
Since the last solemn
reign of this day of reflection
What throngs have relinquished lifes perishing breath
How many have shed the last tear of dejection;
And closed the dim eye, on the darkness of death!
How many have sudden their pilgrimage ended
Beneath the low path that envelopes their bier:
Or to Deaths lonesome valley have gently descended
And made their cold beds with the grave of the year.
'Tis the year that so
late, its new beauties
Disclosing, Rose bright on the happy, the careless, and gay,
Who now on their pillow of dust are reposing,
Where the sod presses damp on their bosoms of clay.
Then talk not of bliss while our smiles are expiring,
Disappointment still drowns it in misery's tear:
Reflect and be wise; for the day is retiring,
And tomorrow will dawn on the grave of the year.
Yet awhile, and around
us no seasons will flourish,
But silence for each her dark mansion prepare,
Where beauty no longer her roses shall nourish
Nor the lily o'er spread the wan check of despair,
But the eye, shall with lustre unfading be brightened
When it wakes to true bliss, in yon orient sphere;
By sun beams in splendour immortal enlighten'd,
Which no more shall go down on the grave of a year."
Easthampton, December 31st. J. B.
