HILLIS.--On Friday, March 26th, 1869, at the residence of her
father, Dr. G. F. Horton, in Terrytown, Mrs. Deborah E., wife
of Dr. W. J. Hillis, of Barclay. She was born Nov., 1844, born
again Feb., 1866, and has passed from earth to heaven.
The following lines were written by a lady in the West, on the death
of Mrs. HILLIS:
LINES ON THE DEATH OF COUSIN DEBBIE.
She faded away in the early spring-time,
Ere Nature put on her robe of green,
And with a peaceful look in her clear blue eyes,
She calmly passed to the land unseen.
Oh, she has gone from us; so young and so fair,
Wearing all the charms of youthful bloom,
And around our hearts there comes a deep sadness,
O'ershadowing us in midnight gloom,
Earth's tenderest ties were twined around her,
And fain would we have had her stay;
But angels around the throne were beckoning
As if to hasten her flight away.
No fear of death could blanch her marble cheek,
Nor dim the pure lustre of her eye;
Through faith she looked above this fleeting world,
Where joys immortal ne'er fade or die.
Her face was radiant with heavenly glory
As she murmured a parting prayer,
And then we knew, by her saint-like beauty,
That the seal of death was written there.
We miss her, yes, we miss the cheerful sunshine
That she cast on every side,
And we mourn the crushed and blighted hopes,
Of a fond and loving bride.
But there's a light to lure us homeward,
In this sorrowing world of ours;
And we'll strive to meet the dearly loved one
Where forever bloom unfading flowers.

HORTON.--In Terrytown, Jan. 7, 1872, Miss Nancy T., daughter of
Dr. G. F. and Abigail Horton, aged 25 years.
Decided in her convictions, yet with charity for all, amiable
in disposition and warm in her affections, she won a large
circle of friends, who sympathize with her immediate relatives
in this bereavement. She availed herself of every advantage
afforded to store her mind with useful knowledge. Diligent as a
pupil, she was successful as a teacher, exhibiting unflagging
energy and patience in the school room, she surpassed most
in securing the love and advancement of her pupils. She was
sustained through a long and painful illness by an unfaltering
trust in her covenant keeping Saviour, and with her feet firmly
set on the Rock of Ages by a living faith, fearlessly entered
the dark valley, fearing no evil.
[Illustration: Truly Yours
Nancy T. Horton]
She referred to the following stanzas, as expressing her own
hopes when near the close of her earthly existence, and which
are inserted for this as well as for their exquisite beauty:
NEARER HOME.
BY ALICE CARY.
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er--
I'm nearer to my home to-day
Than I have been before.
Nearer my Father's house,
Where the many mansions be,
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown!
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the silent, unknown stream
That leads at last to the light.
Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread abysm;
Closer Death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.
Oh! if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink;
If it be I am nearer home,
Even to-day, than I think;
Father, perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of a living faith.

[_From the Presbyterian._]
In Terrytown, Pa., on the 7th inst., Miss Nancy T. daughter
of Dr. G. F. and Abigail Horton, aged twenty-five years. Born
of pious parents, from infancy she enjoyed the advantages
of religious culture. In early life she made profession of
faith in Christ, and ever after adorned that profession with
a consecrated life and godly deportment. She was among the
first to unite with the then recently organized Presbyterian
church at Terrytown, which she loved with the ardor of a
sanctified affection. Possessed of unusual decision of
character and strong convictions of the truth of her opinions,
she nevertheless exercised a broad charity for those whom she
thought conscientiously differed from her. Her amiability,
intelligence, purity, and warm affection won her a large circle
of friends, over whom she had great influence. Her end was
peace, and in full assurance of a blessed immortality. One
incident, among many others, may be given as illustrating the
ground of her confidence. Shortly before her death, clasping
her arms around her brother's neck, she whispered:
"Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the cross I cling."
This simple clinging to the cross was her support through the
long months of wasting sickness, the secret of her patience in
suffering, and the staff of her strength through the valley of
the shadow of death.

territory. We were three miles from any white settlers, but we had
plenty of Indians. Where the city of Flint now stands, it was then
all a dense wilderness, and when the town of Atlas was organized,
forty years ago, we had seventeen votes all told. The county of
Genesee has now twelve flourishing villages besides the city of
Flint, which has a population of about eleven thousand."
By his 2. wife he has one daughter, Mary Susan, born in Atlas, 22
