West-Jersey pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1851-1884: August 16, 1856
Died near Roadstown, on the morning of the 11th inst., Mrs. Phebe Mulford, in the
94th year of her age, widow of Isaac Mulford, dec’d.
At an early period of her life, she became hopefully pious, and was baptized in
connection with the Cohansey Baptist Church (now at Roadstown) May 19th, 1790. Thus
during a period of some 66 years she walked with God in connection with the people.
She was a remarkable woman, remarkable for her age, being, as is supposed, the
oldest female in the County; remarkable for her intelligence in Divine things, and
for her genuine piety. A large assembly of her numerous relations and friends
followed her remains to their long resting place, in the Cemetery of the Roadstown
Baptist Church, where the solemn occasion was improved by a sermon from the Pastor,
from Job, 14-14: All the days of my appointed time will I wait until my change
come.” J. M. C.
