Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) 1860-1898: 30 Sep 1863
Died suddenly, at his residence, Mt. Washington, Pa., of apoplexy, James A. Fetzer,
Esq., in the 48th year of his age. Mr. Fetzer arose, on Sabbath morning, August 23d,
in perfect health, apparently. He sang a few verses of those well known hymns, "
Safely through another week, God has brought us on our way," " There is a happy
land," etc., and yet in less than three hours, "he was not; for God took him."
There, at home in his own chamber, surrounded with loved ones, he sweetly fell
asleep in Jesus going to the land he loved so well, and entering upon praises that
shall never cease. Few men are more generally or justly esteemed than Mr. Fetzer. He
had qualities of head and heart that endeared him to all. As a husband, he was
loving and devoted; as a father, kind and indulgent; as a neighbor, social and
obliging; as a citizen, loyal, and patriotic; as a Christian, humble and zealous; as
a Ruling Elder, faithful and conscientious… For the last thirteen years, he was an
elder in Israel, (being six years an elder in the First church of Wheeling, Va., and
seven years an elder in the Mt. Washington church, Pa.,)
