Notes:

Mitchel Fleming
Died at his residence in Cape Girardeau Co., Mo. The 16th of April, 1837, Mr. Mitchel Fleming, aged 76 years and 7 days. Mr. F. became hopefully pious at an early period of his life and sustained the high and responsible office of ruling elder in the Presbyterian church for the last 20 or 22 years; the duties of which of which he discharged in such a manner as gave evidence that he felt in some good degree, the solemnity of the work which had been committed to his care. He had been in feeble health for some years, and often expressed a desire to depart and be with his precious Savior; but still professed a willingness to wait his appointed time, until the Bridegroom of souls, should call him to the marriage supper of the Lamb.
He felt a deep and lively interest in the prosperity of Christ’s kingdom in the world, and especially in that portion of the vineyard over which he had been placed as a ruling elder. A few hours before his sprit took its flight from the body, he said, “ Iam not surprised that I am dying; but I am surprised that death does not execute his summons more speedily.” He closed his own eyes, and sweetly fell asleep in the arms of Jesus, without a struggle or a groan.
It may well be said of our departed friend, that he went down to the grave, like a shock of corn fully ripe.

Jane Fleming
Died in Cape Girardeau Co. Mo. May 2, 1837, Mrs. Jane Fleming, widow of Mr. M. Fleming, whose death we have just recorded, in the 61st year of her age. She was a member of Apple Creek church, of which her husband had been ruling elder, and gave comfortable evidence that she had experienced a change of heart, and manifested by her orderly walk and godly conversation that her affections were placed on things above, and not on things on the earth. She died in the exercise of her rational faculties, rejoicingin the hope of meeting her blessed Redeemer in heaven.
We trust she is now celebrating the praises of God and the Lamb before the “great white throne," with her affectionate husband, whose loss she had mourned only a few weeks !

Elizabeth Stevenson
Departed this life in Cape Girardeau Co. Mo. the 8th of May, 1837, Mrs. Elizabeth Stevenson, consort of Mr. John Stevenson, in the 51st year of her age. Mrs. S. died in the same house in which Mr. And Mrs. Fleming had so recently died. Mrs. S. was a member of Brazeau Church, Perry Co., and in the judgment of charity hopefully pious. She left a
husband, a numerous family of children, and a large circle of friends to mourn her death. She cheerfully submitted to the will of her heavenly Father, and died in peace, with the comfortable hope that her sins were pardoned; her soul sanctified, and that the night of death would be to her the beginning of an eternal day of peace, joy, and immortal glory.

John Stevenson
Departed this life in Cape Girardeau Co., Mo., 14th of May, 1837, Mr. John Stevenson, husband of Elizabeth Stevenson, in the 49th year of his age. He was taken sick the night his wife lay a corpse, and was removed next day to his brother’s Mr. James Stevenson, where he died, after an illness of only 6 or 7 days. Mr S. was also a member of Brazeau church, Perry Co. and was regarded by all who knew him as a man in which whose heart the seeds of God’s grace had been planted and watered by the renewing, sanctifying, and genial influences of the Holy Sprit.
Whilst the tears of the bereaved children still flowed freely for a tender and affectionate mother, new fountains were opened by the sudden death of the beloved and pious father.
This is indeed an afflictive dispensation of Providence to this bereaved family; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. Mr. S a few hours before he died, put on his spectacles, called for his hymnbook, selected a hymn and requested his mourning friends to sing it. The writer was present when his spirit bade adieu to its clay tenement, and well may it be said of his “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of that man is peace.” Ps. Xxxvii.37. Mrs. Fleming and Mr. Stevenson were bother and sister. This singular and mysterious providence loudly admonishes all the friends of the deceased, as well as all other, of the mortality of man, and the necessity of being prepared for a deathbed and a dying hour. May the Lord, who sits as a sovereign on his throne, bless, comfort and sustain the bereaved.
