on Saturday last, Mr. Samuel Faucett, senr. in the 74th year of his age, after
a protracted illness of many weeks. He has left an aged companion and children
to mourn their loss, and yet to rejoice in his gain, which they firmly hope to
be, in Christ, eternal life. The deceased in early life confessed the Savior,

for many years and to his death, sustained the office of Ruling Elder."
