- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, June 25, 1863 Mexico Independent - Mexico, New York - Died - At the Dugway, Oswego county, May 28, Phebe Stearns, aged 66 years. The deceased gave her heart to the Saviour in her youthful days, and for more than 40 years had been a highly esteemed member of the M. E. Church. She had found the grace of God to be sufficient to sustain the sole in the varied vicissitudes of this inconstant life, through which she had been called to pass. Though her sickness was protracted, she endured it patiently; her peace like a river, her joy unspeakable and full of glory. Death has lost its sting, the grave disrobed of its terrors. For her to live was Christ, but to die is gain. She exhorted those who visited her to prepare to meet their God. Her soul was filled with Jesus and with the Holy Ghost, and as she neared her journeys and, praised God for the glorious prospect that dawned on her eye of faith, unveiling to her enraptured spirit the beautiful visions of the throne. "She saw a world of glory bright, And tasted its pleasure there."
