Line 91, Lydia (Belden) Churchell, Born 6 September 1725 GRANDMOTHER LYDIA BELDEN "February 10th, Sunday, Grandmother came over to our house, said she did not feel very well, and wanted that I should make her some tea, most of the family had gone to meeting. I was very glad to please her in anything that she required, because that she was always so very good to us all-she drank some tea, thanked me for my trouble and went home. I think that was the last time that ever she came into our house; she was taken sick pretty soon after; she died March 19. She never spoke after Sunday afternoon till she died, Tuesday night (three o'clock) but was in the utmost distress that could be. Grandmother had six children, 39 grandchildren and great grandchildren when she died. Oh may all follow her pious example, and walk in the paths of virtue as she walked, whose loss we mourn. O what a kind, kind mother we have lost. I think she was as tender of her grandchildren as own mothers are. Oh how often have I experienced her goodness, but not only me but all of her dear offspring. Oh how often has she spoken kindly to me, and took my hand and told me, that I was born to hard fortune. She said think of him many times, and particularly I have heard him read, and in his prayers-he used to have that passage "Man Loveth Darkness rather than light because his deeds are evil," and many more passages, when I hear mentioned brings my Grandfather to mind. Oh that his Children living at their death, and only one that ever made any public profession of Religion, that one a minister, altho a minister he will not save his brethren from." The writing breaks off. The minister referred to was the Reverend Silas. The intimation of the grandmother's interest in palmistry give a natural touch to this simple and affectionate picture of her last days. -per C.T. #46958945]
