DIED, January 23, 1885, Mrs. Lucy A. Berrick, age 41 years, 10 months and 29
days.  The subject of his sketch was the daughter of Burton and Elizabeth
Jarvis.  Her health became impaired by taking a severe cold; and being of a
consumptive habit, the case soon showed a diminution of bodily vigor, followed
by emaciation, cough, shortness of breath, and a very unsatisfactory state of
the digestive organs, etc.  Thus for twenty-two months she struggled with the
disease, gradually growing weaker, until January 11, when her case became very
much aggravated by a sudden paralysis of the right side, and also the organs of
speech, so that it was impossible to articulate a distinct word, and in this
state she continued until the 23d, when death came to her relief.  Mrs. Berrick
will be remembered for her probity and her devotion to the cause of truth.. She
loved and trusted Him who is the Savior of a lost race.  She was an affectionate
daughter and a faithful wife.  Her memory will be revered by her friends and her
name will ever be held in grateful remembrance by the poor whose hearts were
often made glade by her hand of charity.  Her future is assured by Him who is
the resurrection and the life.  May we who remain imitate her virtues and trust
Him who “gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time.”
