CLOSE TOMBSTONE RECORDS

Copied by Mrs. Ruth Whitaker Hopson

Soule Cemetery, Auburn, N. Y.

In what is known as the Old Section of the Cemetery, there are two stones; one a brown slate about 5 feet six
	inches high, two feet wide and two inches thick which has this inscription: In memory of Stephen Close, Esq., who died February 12, 1817, aged 47 years 11 months 16 days, outlined around it are all the working tools of a Master Mason and the emblems. Underneath are these lines:
		When nature sinks exhausted to the tomb, And weeping friends attend the untimely bier, How deeply awful is the cypress gloom; How silently eloquent the pensive tear.
On the south side is a white marble slab about 3 feet six inches by two feet by two inches bearing this
	inscription: Sacred to the memory of Joanna, wife of Stephen Close who died Jan. 15, 1829 - aged 57 years two months and two days. Come Lord Jesus and come quickly.
Next to Mrs. Close is another slab almost identical bearing this inscription: Sarah Ann, wife of William Tull
	died June 10, 1837, in the 31st year of her age erected by her sister.
Just to the north east of Stephen's grave is another stone nearly the same bearing this inscription: Walter Close
	who died Sept. 5, 1831, age 37 years- 10- months-27 days. He has gone, I trust, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.

Medina Cemetery, Medina, Mich.

Samuel Close died Feb. 8, 1865, age 65 years 8 months and 17 days.

RECORDS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
BELLEVUE, NEBRASKA

(Continued from Vol. 8, p. 6, Jan. 1930)

On the 25th day of April A.D. 1858, after sermon by Rev. Wm. Hamilton, at the schoolhouse in the city of Bellevue, Sarpy Co., Nebraska Territory, by request, notice was given to the audience that a meeting would be held at that place on Saturday the 1st day of May Next, to those who had been members in connection with the Old School Presbyterian Church, to take into consideration the propriety of resuscitating the church organized in that place near two years ago, or organizing anew; and Friday the 30th day of April having been set apart as a day of fasting and prayer in reference to that object:--there were convened at the time and place appointed, the following named persons, who were known to have been members in regular standing of the Old School Presbyterian Church viz:--

D. E. Reed	Omaha Mission Bellevue
Wm. McLaughlin	Omaha Mission Bellevue
Robert Hamilton	Chathoms Run
Mary Ellen Hamilton	Jersey Shores
Anna Maria Hamilton	Boonville
Margaret Ely Hamilton	Boonville

After mutual consultation in relation to the object before them it was deemed expedient, under the circumstances to organize anew, whereupon after sermon by Rev. Wm. Hamilton, the following resolutions were passed.

1. Resolved, that a Presbyterian Church, O.S., be organized in this place.

2. Resolved, that the minister present, be requested to organize said church, according to the mode prescribed by the form of government of the Presbyterian Church.

3. Resolved, that a ruling elder be elected to represent this church in its organized capacity.

Wm. McLaughlin, having been nominated to the office of ruling elder, and no other nomination being before the congregation, he was unanimously chosen to that office, and Rev. Wm. Hamilton was chosen to act as stated supply for the ensuing six months.

Mr. McLaughlin having signified his willingness to accept the office of ruling elder, the ordination was appointed to take place on the following Sabbath, May 2nd.

May 2nd, 1858, Sabbath.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather, and consequent inability of most of the congregation to be present, the ordination of the ruling elder was postponed until the following Sabbath, May 9th, immediately after sermon.
