DEATH OF EMERSON GUTHRIE
Seldom have we been more surprised than  when, on Sabbath evening last, we 
received the sad intelligence of the death of  our young friend, named above.  
He had been ill, of fever, for a few days,  but, on Saturday, he was so much 
better that hopes were entertained of his  speedy recovery.  On Saturday 
evening, he was able to walk about the house  and garden - - the next morning, 
before 
sunrise he was a corpse.  About 4  o’clock, he was heard to breathe 
strangely.  His parents hastened to his  bedside and found him dying.  He had 
probably 
been seized in a fit of some  kind.

Emerson was about sixteen years of age; yet very few of riper years enjoyed  
a larger share of the esteem and confidence of this community.
