    Obituary \"The Sabbath Recorder\", Vol 31, No 37, p 3, Sep. 9, 1875.

    In Farina, Ill., Aug. 28th, 1875, of paralysis, William B. Irish, in the 30th year of his age.

    The subject of this notice was born in Westerly, R. I., and in his youth professed Christ and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Waterford, Ct., and in 1866, when he with his parents moved to Farina, became one of the constituent members of the church, of which he remained a member until death.

    For two or three months during his last illness, fully aware of the prospects of his early death, he gave himself more fully to preparation for that change; and as he drew near to the gates of death, his mind still clear and tranquil, expressed his view of the prospect of another to be bright and happy, and gave an affectionate farewell to wife and child, parents, relatives and friends, hoping to meet them all in that upper and better world, there to clasp hands where parting will be no more.
