From "The Christian Record" for November 1854.
White County, Ind. Sept. 30, 1854
Brother Mathes - With a heart full of grief, I sit down to inform you of the death of my
beloved husband, James Edwards, who departed this life on the 10th day of August, after an
illness of 9 days. His desease was the flux, and on the 9th day he took a sinking chill
and died at o'clock a.m.; aged 49 years, 11 months and 26 days. He died in the full
exercise of his mind, and in the full assurance of eternal life beyond the grave. He
emigrated from Kentucky to Indiana in the autumn of 1827. He was immersed by Brother J.
M. Terrell some 18 years ago, and ever since has lived a devoted christian.
But we have a glorious hope of meeting again in our home in heaven, where there is no
more pain, sickness, and death.
Your sister, SARAH E. EDWARDS
