The Life And Testimony Of Ann Leach
She was born and brought up in Rochdale. Her father was a Particular Baptist, a gracious man, and sat under the ministry of Mr. Kershaw, at Hope Chapel. She attended the Sunday school in connexion with the same place from a girl, and was a very steady, regular, thoughtful, prudent young woman. In 1840 she became my wife, and I deeply lament her loss. She had four children in about ten years, during which time her health began to fail. She was troubled with bad legs for many years, swellings in the veins, &c., which caused great weakness.

The Life And Testimony Of Charity Scriven
She was blessed with some marks of grace while under the ministry of her late uncle, Mr. Stephen Offer, then pastor of the church at Netheravon, and was baptized by him in 1838. I was acquainted with her and her husband for more than 20 years, and during that time had many opportunities for converse, which I always found to be very encouraging to me. There was never anything like light, trifling conversation, but all was on the solemn subject of vital religion. She had very low views of herself. Nothing of a free-will character could be endured by her. She was much blessed, at times, by reading the "Gospel Standard" and Gadsby's Hymns. The Bible was her companion. Mason's Morning and Evening Portions were…

The Life And Ministry Of John Crowley
Having had my mind many times inclined to try and write a brief account of my unprofitable life, and the desire having again and again declined, when it was brought to my mind forcibly yesterday, I said within myself, "By the help of God, I will begin." As I have no diary, I am dependent upon the blessed Remembrancer to help me. I was born in the town of Fairford, on April 8th, 1812. My parents were poor, God-fearing people. I was the youngest of five children. Only two lived to grow up; and I had a weak body and nervous constitution from my birth. My father brought up my brother and myself very strictly, yet tenderly. He took us to his place of worship…

The Funeral Of John Vincent
In the chapel Mr. Cozens said, "I will read to you the register of the births and deaths of the patriarchs of the old world (Gen. 5), and the first public funeral, of which we have an interesting account in the fiftieth chapter of Genesis." In reading the first portion, Mr. Cozens laid great emphasis upon the words "And he died," making ever and anon some solemn remarks upon the recurrence of those words. Before reading the account of Jacob's funeral Mr. Cozens took us into the sick chamber and described the closing scene.

The Life And Death Of John Vincent
"MY VERY DEAR FRIEND, MR. BANKS,—I am sorry to inform you of Mr. John Vincent's death. He preached twice on last Lord's-day, was taken ill on Monday morning, and died this morning, at three o'clock, September 15, 1880. We have lost our pastor, and the chief supporter of Love-lane Chapel. May the Lord incline some good man to come to feed the people with the true bread of life. I shall be glad to hear from you; I hope you will not forget us. I am getting almost past writing. May the good Lord be with you to your journey's end.
