A letter says:
“He was taken with his last illness just about four or five days before the end came. He did not once mention the word ‘death,’ but whenever able always spoke of the blessed Lord, His grace, His mercy, His love. Not many hours before the Lord took him he raised himself and leaned on his elbow (he had not been able to do this for some time) then with a beaming face he repeated in a clear, firm voice, quite loud enough to be heard all over the house, the 8th 9th 10th and 11Th verses of 1 Peter 5. When he came to the 11Th verse,” “To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever, Amen,” his dear voice rose with a triumphant ring, and his countenance was radiant. After this he gradually sank—God gently took him home.”―From his Niece.
