DEATH OF EMERSON GUTHRIE
Seldom have we been more surprised than when, on Sabbath evening last, we
received the sad intelligence of the death of our young friend, named above.
He had been ill, of fever, for a few days, but, on Saturday, he was so much
better that hopes were entertained of his speedy recovery. On Saturday
evening, he was able to walk about the house and garden - - the next morning,
before
sunrise he was a corpse. About 4 o’clock, he was heard to breathe
strangely. His parents hastened to his bedside and found him dying. He had
probably
been seized in a fit of some kind.

Emerson was about sixteen years of age; yet very few of riper years enjoyed
a larger share of the esteem and confidence of this community.
