BENTON, Dr. Joseph, Obituary

At his residence in Baldwin, Maine, on the 21st ult., Dr. Joseph Benton, of the cholera morbus, age 75 yrs.

Mr. B. was a native in early life to New Hampshire, where he studied medicine. At the age of about twenty he commenced the practice of his profession in Westmoreland, N. H., but soon thereafter removed into Maine, then a province, and settled at Fryburg. He had an extensive, arduous, and constant practice of more than fifty years, and continued his visitations until within a few days of his death. He possessed a strong and healthy constitution, capable of enduring the severest hardships. The practice of his profession--the visitation of the sick, even when there was no prospect of compensation, was regarded by him as a duty to his fellow citizens, which he cherished almost to a passion. Fifty years of toil and care, the well known characteristics of a physician's life, left him, the present season, with a broken constitution and rapidly declining health. Three days previous to his demise, he informed his attendant Physician and family that 'death was doing its work,' and that their exertions and solicitudes would prove of no avail. His apprehensions were well founded, and on the 21st of August, after a short struggle, he sunk composedly into the arms of death. [Mohawk Courier, (Little Falls, N.Y.), Sept. 20, 1838]

WILLOUGHBY, Mrs. Sarah, Obituary

At Newport on Tuesday the 14th inst., Mrs. Sarah Willoughby, wife of Westel Willoughby, M. D. in the 59th year of her age. She had endured with exemplary patience years of ill health; her last sickness was short but severe; her uniform submission to God's will was worthy of remark; her piety was habitual, and shed the light of Christ upon her family and through a large circle of friends and acquaintances; truly it may be said of her, that she 'was full of good works and alms deeds.' It kindness, constant as the day, and an unmeasured charity that never tired, can embalm the memory of the departed, hers must long live in the affection of friends in the greatful recollection of the poor.

The loss of this excellent woman is deeply and painfully felt in the community, and by the Unitarian Church in Trenton, of which she had been an exemplary member for years; and that religious fellowship truly sympathise with the bereaved husband; they would speak words of peace and hope to his widowed heart; these, drawn from the everlasting Gospel will bring to his mourning spirit the rich consolations of Christ. She has gone from our world of suffering and sorrow, from earth's alternating scenes of two and gladness, and, as we undoubtingly trust, to gather wreaths of immortality from the Cross! By faith we trace her bright pathway, in the spiritual world, 'from glory to glory,' even to the radiance of our Father's throne; there the perennial friendship of Jesus the Savior will yield a fulness of joy to her soul!
