Note: "July the 17, 1775 On Monday Night last died of An Apoplexy and Malignant fever and on Wednesday were interred the Remains of that truly venerable Man Elder Job Mason In the 81th year of His age. He had faithfully laboured in the Gospel ministry:47: years more than :37: of which he was an ordained Elder of the Second Baptist Church in Swanzey. It may with Truth Be Said that He magnified His office in that while he Dispensed the Gospel to others he Exhibited in His own Life and Conversation the most striking proof of its tendency to make men truly wise useful and good. The Dear Bereaved Church May justly Sorrow Because they shall See His face no more for he was indeed a pastor Guide and Example to the flock over which ye Holy Ghoste had made Him an overseer. His family has lost in him all that is included in the idea of a father, and human Society one of the most Amiable Benevolent and useful of members. He retained until his Last sickness a most uncommon Degree of activity and bigour in Both the powers of his body and mind it was thought. Though for Some time before his Death He was Deprived of his Speech that He Retained the Exercise of his Reason to the last in Broken accents however before his lips were Sealed He said "I Know in whom i have Believed and that he is able to Keep that which i Have Committed to his Care against that Day." "I Heard a Voice from Heaven Saying write Blessed are the Dead which Die in the Lord yea saith the Spirit Henceforth they Rest from their Labours and their works do follow them."
