George Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
New York, American Bible Society, 1842.

This Bible is in poor shape. The covers and spine are
together, but separated from the book. Many pages and
and most signatures have separated.

There is stuff between the pages, which I have scanned,
and several obituaries.

This family resided in New Hampshire.

[Obituary] In Watertown, Jan 31. Mrs. Amanda Noyes, wife of Samuel
Noyes, 54 yrs. and 9 mos. She became a subject of grace in early
life. In 1836 she came to Watertown, and soon entered that career
of active usefulness for which she was distinguished. She was a
woman of sterling worth, afuently devoted to her family, modest
and unassuming, yet always ready to meet the calls upon her time
and labor which are so needed to maintain in vigor the various
social and charitable associations of a church.

"Dearest sister, thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."

[Obituary]

Death of an Old Resident.
In the death of Dea. Washington George the community has lost one
of its most useful citizens. He was one of the few men who are
qualified and willing to bear public duties and responsibilities.
The town has placed him in almost every office in its gift. As a
representative in the Legislature, as a moderator for many years,
as a select man for a long period he discharged these public trusts
with fidelity and ability.

For many years he has done a valuable work in settling estates. At
the time of his death he was administering upon three estates. He
brought to the discharge of these duties a sound judgment, and an
unswerving integrity.

As a Christian his life was a very active one. He has been a member
of the Congregational Church in Plymouth for 45 years. To its interests
he has given liberally of his time and means and ability. He was for
several years the Superintendant and teacher in the Sabbath school,
and for thirteen years held the highest office in the church, that of
Deacon. He was a man of untiring industry of strong will and positive
convictions. He clung to what he regarded as right very tenaciously.
His public and private life was without a stain.

The funeral which occured on the 22rd inst. was a touching tribute
to his memory. Friends gathered from all parts of the town and
neighboring towns to express their love for him and their sorrow for
his loss.

He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss. They lose a
devoted husband and loving father. The community feel a deep sympathy
for them in their sorrow.

May his example find many followers, and his life be an inspiration
to all who knew him.

[Obituary] At Plymouth, Aug. 27, Capt. Moses George, aged 75 years. In
the death of Capt. George, his wife and children lament the loss of a
tender husband and affectionate father, and the church in Plymouth a
consistent and valuable member. He had anticipated the meeting of the
late General Association with great interest. But it was not the will
of God that he should live to enjoy its exercises. On the day previous
to the meeting of the Association, his spirit ascended in sweet peace
to the higher convocation above.
