Died, August 23d, 1870, Mrs. Joicy Brooks, wife of W. W. Brooks, and daughter of Benj. and Eunice Arnold.
Sister Brooks was born in Washington county, North Carolina, Aug. 19, 1819, and joined the M. E. Church at the age of 16, in which she has continued to live and earnest and faithful Christian to the end of life.
In the year 1839 she was united in marriage to W. W. Brooks, and they emigrated to Illinois, and in 1853 to Oregon, and settled in Marion county.
She was agreeable and attractive in her manners and a favorite among her neighbors and friends. Though taken suddenly from the Church and her family in the midst of her usefulness and vigor of womanhood, yet the summons found her ready and willing to go. Four of her children had crossed the river before her while three others, with their deeply bereaved father remain on the hither shore and bow to the chasetening rod of their heavenly Father.
She closed her probation in great peace, and sleeps in the cemetery of Sublimity:
She passed from our arms
Like a dream or a story;
From the bosom of love,
To the mansions of glory.
