Samuel Addis, a worthy citizen of this district, on Wednesday, the 29th February, 1860. The deceased was well known as an industrious farmer, a good neighbor, kind husband, and an affectionate father. He was for about 25 years a member of the Baptist Church. This writer visited him often and conversed freely with him about his future prospects. He was resigned to the will of God, and suffered it in meekness. When addressed in his last hours in regard to his peace of mind, he gave satisfactory evidence that he was ready for his departure. A short time before he breathed his last, when asked if there was any thing he wanted, his reply was, "No, I feel very good. I feel now that I am on my way to Heaven". He has left a large circle of friends and relations to mourn his loss, yet they rejoice sins the thought that their loss is his eternal gain.
