George Foglesong

OBITUARY.
[communicated]
Died, in this town, on the morning of the 6th inst., after an illness of ten
days, Mr. GEORGE FOGLESONG, in the 48th year of his age. In the death of this
excellent man, our village, where he has resided for twenty five years, has been
deprived of one of its most valuable, and public spirited citizens; the poor
have lost a friend to whose heart the claims of distress were never presented in
vain; and the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he was a leading and worthy
member for more than thirty years, has been bereaved of one of her brightest
ornaments. In his life, it may be truly said, the transcendant excellencies of
religion shone forth with peculiar luster, and by all who knew him his memory
will long be cherished, with affection. A little more than two weeks previous to
his death, he was called to mourn the loss of the wife of his bosom, who like
him departed with the blessings of society upon her head, and the comforts of
religion in her heart; thus speedily has the providence of heaven called him to
reunite in the paradise of God, with her who was the partner of his sorrows and
his joys in this world. Five children are left to weep and lament at the loss of
their earthly parents and many connexions & friends with them commingle their
tears; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope.” His funeral was attended
by a large concourse of citizens, and an appropriated sermon delivered on the
occasion, by the Rev. D. D. Dyche from 37th verse of the 37th psalm.

“Our friend is dead – dead did I say?
O! no he lives in everlasting day;
In purest climes with all the blest,
He lives in everlasting rest.”
