- From The Corning Journal, 25 Oct 1877
Died, in Corning, N.Y., Oct. 21, 1877, at the residence of her son, Rev. M.L.P. Hill, Elizabeth Ann, daughter of Rev. Conrad Ten Eyck, and wife of the late Rev. Robert W. Hill, of Rochester, N.Y. Mrs. Hill was born in Schenectady, N.Y., June 26, 1803, adn was the last of a large family of children. She was converted at the age of twelve years, and was married to Mr. Hill, July 7, 1827. The daughter of a minister, having for an uncle the beloved Professor Perrine, of Auburn Theological Seminary; her husband pastor at East Bloomfield for twenty years, whence he removed to Rochester to occupy the editorial chair of the Genesee Evangelist, which at his death, twenty years ago, was merged into the American Presbyterian, and since that time living with her oldest son - her whole life has been related to the ministry of the Gospel. In her early life she was eminently social and active and in later years of sickness and suffering developed beautifully the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit; patient and unmurmuring, she feared lest she should not be resigned to the Master's will, yet praying to depart and be with Christ. Loving hands ministered cheerfully to her in her last years, and a kind people added their ministry of rarest flowers and helpful sympathy. "Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus."
Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian Parsonage, on Tuesday afternoon. An excellent address was made by Rev. S.W. Pratt of Campbell, who spoke of the uncommon Christian usefulness of the deceased during her active life, and hoof her remarkable patience in the last few years, during most of which time she has been comparatively helpless and has endured severe and often intense and protracted pain. Rev. E.T. Green, Presiding Elder of the M.E. Church, Rev. G.W. Chandler, pastor of the M.E. Church and Rev. F.K. Fowler, Pastor of the Baptist Church, took part in the funeral services. On Wednesday, the remains were taken to Rochester to be buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, where the husband of the deceased was buried. Quite a number of friends from the city were present at the Chapel, at the entrance of the Cemetery, where religious services were held by Rev. S.M. Campbell, Pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church at Rochester. His remarks were exceedingly consoling, and were an admirable tribute to the memory of the deceased.
