From "Wesleyan"
Jerusha and Estella Oulton
On the 30th of Oct. Estella aged 22 yrs. the daughter and on the4th of Nov. Jerusha aged 42 yrs. the beloved wife of John N. Oulton ofJolicure were taken from their large circle of sorrowing friends bytyphoid fever. Bro. Oulton's family have been most painfullyafflicted, as two children a son Marshall and a daughter May of 16 and11 yrs. are still very low, and a little Sam boy of seven who was thefirst taken, is but just beginning to give promise of permanentrecovery.
Estella was a young woman of much promise and in her home, themost affectionate and thoughtful helper of her mother so much so as tohave won in her self-denying surrender of her own desire and choice,the loving respect of the whole community. She died as she lived, atrue follower of Jesus and her last testimony was of quiet andresigned trust in Him.
Mrs. Oulton, whose maiden name was Hicks, came into communionwith thw Methodist Church with her husband and lived a life amid theretirement of her large family, shut away from public activities, butnone the less honouring to God. As in the faithful round of dailyduties well performed she rendered honest service to the Saviour whohad fixed the bounds and limits of her providential sphere. Sheserved her home with true Christian consecration and in the exactingdemands of that service upon her vital forces she counted not her lifedear unto herself and was not for God took her. She rests from herlabors and her works do follow her.
And only that there is another city of everlasting rest
I well might mourn my lot in deep self pity
To be so little blest
But safe within another home's warm keeping
Are the dear friends of old
They are where changes come not and no weeping
Is heard within that fold

For Heaven is full of strong abiding places
Oh God that may see
When morning breaks the dear families faces
That are at home with Thee.
