WILLIAM BOWEN SLATER
DIED, IN AMHERST, AT REV. MR WOODWORTHS, DEC 4TH, WILLIAM BOWEN, SON OF MR WILLIAM S SLATER, OF SLATERSVILLE, RI. HIS DEATH OCCURRED ON HIS NINTH BIRTHDAY. HIS FATHER HAD TAKEN HIM TO AMHURST THAT HE MIGHT BE A BOARDER AND SCHOLAR IN THE FAMILY WHERE HE DIED; BUT WAS UNDER THE SOLEMN NECCESSITY OF BRINGING HOME HIS REMAINS, JUST ONE WEEK AFTER HE HAD GONE THITHER WITH HIM.
BY HIS AMIABILITY, THIS DEAR BOY SEEMED TO WIN AT ONCE, THE AFFECTION OF THE STRANGER. HE WAS GREATLY BELOVED IN HIS NATIVE VILLAGE, WHERE THE TEARS OF MANY BESIDES FAMILY FRIENDS HAVE FALLEN ON ACCOUNT ON HIS DECEASE. TALENT OF A SUPERIOR ORDER WAS DEVELOPING ITSELF IN THIS CHILD, AND EVERY FACILITY FOR DISTINCTION AS A SCHOLAR WAS OPEN BEFORE HIM. BUT WE REJOICE IN THE CONVICTION THAT CHRIST WAS SANCTIFYING HIM FOR A HEAVENLY SPHERE. HIS BIBLE, HE CONSCIENTIOUSLY PERUSED, AND HUMBLY, DAILY KNELT BEFORE THE LORD. WE FEEL THAT HE HAS FOLLOWED HIS DEPARTED MOTHER TO THE HOUSE OF MANY MANSIONS. T. A. T. (REV. TIMOTHY A TAYLOR)
