Walter MacAlpine in 1940. Andrew MacAlpine, Sr. Mr Andrew MacAlpine, aged 73 - Died on the 8th.inst. 1848 at Sarnia Western District, For some years he was one of the Deacons of the Baptist church, meeting in Morrison's Court, Glasgow, under the pastoral care of the Rev. James Buchan, from which he received his letter of dismission in 1821, and came to this country. He settled for some time in Perth, but afterwards moved to Paris N.Y. where he remained for about two years. He then returned to Perth and was soon after ordained Elder, together with Rev. Geo. Watson now of Sarnia. After leaving Perth again, and residing in Warwick in the Western District, he re-moved to Sarnia in May 1837, and on the 8th of August in the following year, he fell from a wagon whilst at work on his farm and received a severe hurt in his spine, which rendered him entirely helpless, from the effects of which he never recovered. He endured ten years of unexampled suffering with truly Christian faith and patience; and though the struggle between a strong constitution and his severe illness was so protracted, he enjoyed throughout a peace which passeth all understanding. For a length of time he was totally oblivious to external impressions, and his once strong mind bent it's remaining energies on his Saviour. With a memory extensively stored with hymns, scripture and general religious knowledge, he would when insensible to all around him, pour out the most fervent and affecting prayers and appeals, or sing a hymn expressive of entire confidence in God's goodness to His afflicted people. Virtually dead to general society ten years ago, his death now will be felt most among his family and those with whom he formerly took sweet counsel together; these will indeed feel that a burning and shining light has gone out in Israel. His last words were an exhortation to continued peace among his children. A discourse in connection with his death was preached by his fellow laborer the Rev. George Watson from Rev.14:13, to a deeply interested audience.
