Moses Edey of Aylmer Circuit

Died on the seventh day of February last, at his residence, near the
Village of Aylmer, in the seventy fourth year of his age, brother Moses
Edey, one of the oldest and most esteemed members of our church on this
Circuit. He was a native of Vermont in the United States. He emigrated
to Eastern Canada, and settled in the township of Hull, fifty-two years
ago where he continued to resided in the midst of a numerous and
respectable family, until the close of his life. During the early part of
his life, he manifested an entire indifference to the claims of the
Christian religion. A few years after locating in this country, he was
brought to feel His obligations to love and serve his Divine Redeemer,
while suffering from sickness, through the conversation and prayers of a
pious friend. It was not, however, until sometime after this event, that
he surrendered himself wholly to the service of God. In 1827, he sought
and obtained salvation, through faith in the atonement of Christ, and
connected himself with the Wesleyan Methodist Church. In which he held an
official position and in whose institutions he remained unswervingly
attached, until God removed him to the Church triumphant.

Brother Edey possessed an unblemished Christian character. To a
profession of piety, he added a general deportment that constrained all
who knew him to acknowledge the genuiness of his religious experience. The
joys of his piety were never ecstatic, but always earnest, never
enthusiastic, but always consistent. His advancement in holiness was not
the most rapid; but it was increasing. His course through the world was
as the path of the just, which shineth more and more unto the perfect
day." By brother Edey's death, the community has lost an influential and
valuable member; the church a wise councillor and liberal supporter; and a
family a tender husband and an affectionate parent.

Moses married Chamberlain, Senior Elizabeth (Sr.) in 1805. Elizabeth was born on 7 Jul 1790; died in 1829 in Aylmer, Quebec. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
