Obituary -
Fell asleep in Jesus, Saturday June 3, 1871, Edward Mack, Jun'r., aged 37 years. During a special season of grace which visited Mill's Village, under the ministry of the Rev'ds R. Morton and C. Stewart, when Bro. Mack was eighteen years of age, he met with a change of heart. Naturally amiable, religion, as it always does, added new charms to his character, and the more so, because, considering spiritual things of primary importance, he sought "first the kingdom and his righteousness." Quiet and unobtrusive, yet he never refused to take a position to which he appears providentially called, and he was ever seeking for new ways in furthering the cause of God, while keeping himself hidden from human view. As Trustee of Connexional Property, Circuit Steward, Chapel Steward, Prayer Leader, Class Leader, and Sabbath School Superintendent, it was evident that as in all things he did, he worked as unto the Lord and not unto men, and we feel as if the loss, with which in his removal we have met, is irreparable. His friends did not expect when he was taken ill some six weeks before his death, that he would so soon be taken from them, he spoke frequently while ill, of not realizing as clearly as he wished the special favor of God, but as having confidence in God. He was particularly fond of the thirty-ninth Psalm and seemed to make each petition peculiarly his own. The day before his departure, when the disease (inflammation of the lungs) assumed a more dangerous type he said, to his now bereaved widow, "I have much pain but strong confidence." All who saw him during the last suffering hours of his life wondered at the patience with which he bore his external pains and magnified the grace of God in him. Though unable to speak, yet it was evident that he was kept in perfect peace. Calmly, quietly as he lived he passed away.
"Oh may I triumph so,
When all my warfare's past."
