Honor Emaline Carpenter Davis

Surnames: Carpenter, Davis, Saterlee

DAVIS--In Walworth, Wis., January 27, 1862, Mrs. Honor Emaline Carpenter, wife of Mr. Silas W. Davis.  She was born in Stephentown, N.Y., September 3, 1811.  She made a profession of religion at the age of 14 years, was baptized by Eld. Wm. Saterlee, and united with the
branch of the Berlin church at Stephentown.  She was married September
13, 1836.  She maintained a consistant life as a disciple of Christ, was active in the church, and leaves the evidence that she had a heart
in the enterprises of the church.  When the China Mission was being
started, she promptly answered the agent's call by donating the golden
ornament from her person, in lieu of money not the hand at the time.
She died of a lingering pulmonary disease, rejoicing at the last, and
longing to depart.  Her funeral was largely attended on the 29th, when
the occasion was improved by a discourse from 2 Tim. 4: 6-8, "Blessed
indeed are the dead who die in the Lord."
