THE CHRISTIAN RECORD--
Gibson Co., Ind., Nov. 24, 1860--
Dear Bro. Goodwin: With a sorrowful heart
I seat myself to record the death of my beloved
brother Joshua Saulman, who died with a full
triumph of christian faith, on the 16th day of
May, 1860, at his residence, in sight of Union
Meeting-house, aged 40 years, 10 months and 22
days. He made a public confession of his faith
in the Son of God, and was buried with his
Lord in baptism by Bro. Moses Goodwin about
11 years before his death, and attached himself
to the church at Union, where he lived a worthy
member until his death. He leaves 7 orphan
children to mourn their loss--his wife having
died about ten months and twenty days before
him. He also leaves many friends to bear their
loss. He was a kind husband and father, and a
good neighbor. His disease was consumption,
which was lingering and severe for months; but
he bore it as a christian, being willing for the
Lord's will to be done. May the good Lord
bless his children and early bring them to fol-
low his worthy example, that at last they may
meet him in heaven with all his friends.
"Dearest brother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled;
There in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed."
