Obituary - Mrs. A.T. Robertson, Aylesford -
Died, at her residence, South Mountain, in Aylesford, on 15th Feb. last, Mrs. Abigail Tupper Robertson, aged 34 years. She was the daughter of Alexander and Deborah Patterson. Sister Robertson was converted to God in the 14th year of her age, but did not unite with the Methodist Church until during the Ministry of the Rev. C. Lockhart on the Aylesford Circuit. – The even, consistent and upright piety which marked her daily walk, caused her to be held in high esteem, not only by the members of her own Church, but also among other denominations. She was very unobtrusive, but "showed piety at home," in the godly care which she exercised over her family, endeavouring to train them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It was in a good degree by her domestic care and industry – combined with judicious management – that her family have attained to a very respectable social standing in the community where they reside. She has left behind, to mourn their loss, an affectionate husband, six interesting children, a widowed mother, and an extensive circle of relatives. The respect entertained for her was evinced on the day of her funeral by an unusually large congregation, many of whom came a long distance in order to be present on the occasion.
"Rejoice for a sister deceased,
Our loss is her infinite gain;
A soul out of prison released,
And freed from her bodily pain."
W.M.C.
Note - Her gravestone in the Old Morristown Cemetery lists her as Abigail Tupper Robinson, 1st wife of Benjamin Enoch Robinson, and daughter of Alexander and Deborah (Tupper) Patterson.
