Aaron Kell

DEATHS

Aaron Kell.
The venerable Aaron Kell died at his late residence four miles east of Lebanon,
on the evening of the 10th of January, 1866, in the eighty-seventh year of his age.

One has passed away whose character was that of a good man. Honest in all his
dealings, conscientious in the discharge of duty, unswerving in his adherence to
what he believed to be right, he was, therefore, greatly valued by all who knew
him. As a citizen, loyal; as a neighbor, kind and obliging; and as a friend, his
affection was deep, strong and enduring.

To those traits of character was added the glow of an humble and earnest piety
so marked as to be undoubted. He lived his religion. To its claims everything
else was subordinate. He was sincerely and intelligently attached to the
doctrines and order of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a member for
nearly three score years. Its schemes of benevolence enlisted his sympathies,
and prayers and systematic support. In his last will, made in view of his
accountability as a steward of God, he recognized the claims upon him, of those
without the Gospel.

His was a green, happy old age. He was spared most of its infirmities and in
joyous faith and hope awaited the summons to depart.

The protracted sufferings experienced in his last illness were borne with
patience. He passed away calmly in the full profession of his senses, relying
entirely and confidingly upon the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.

Death was robbed of its sting and he sank peacefully to rest.
“How such holy memories cluster
Like the stars when storms are past
Pointing up to that fair heaven
We may hope to gain at Last?”

“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”
A Friend
