FAY, Lydia Obituary, Oct. 18, 1848

Died in this village, Sept. 22d, Mrs. Lydia Fay, widow of Major William Fay, the former editor of this paper, age the age of nearly 70.

The subject of the following notice was a mother in Israel, and the prominent traits in her character will be held in grateful remembrance. In her early years Mrs. Fay removed with her parents from Connecticut, and settled in Middletown, Vt. Her opportunities for mental improvement in childhood were limited, but she had the instruction and the example of godly parents. Deacon Brewster, her father, was strictly religious and exemplary. The place where he resided was destitute of the stated ministry and for many years he performed all the duties of a pastor except those of the pulpit. His Sabbath day like that of the Puritans commenced on Saturday with the going down of the sun. At that hour all labor was suspended, and the family Bible was opened for the instruction of the assembled household. At the age of eighteen, being then a professor of religion, Miss Brewster was married to Mr. Smith and removed to Rutland, where she has resided for the last fifty years. She was soon called to part with the husband of her youth, being left in about three years, a widow with one child. Many trials have marked her pilgrimage: three of her children died in infancy; three in adult age. These afflictions with the loss of two husband she endured with fortitude and submission to the will of God. This quietness of resignation was prominent in her character; and she enjoined upon her family and others the same submission to the allotments of a holy Providence. Mrs. F. was eminently of a peaceful spirit. She could remember but one instance of parental disobedience, and the recollection of that was painful down to the last years of her life. In kindness to the poor and the sick she was eminent. For years and until her health declined, she was a constant watcher and nurse at the bedside of the sick and dying. In her last sickness she was patient and resigned and relying on the Author and Finisher of her Faith. May the living cherish her memory and imitate her virtues.
