PINEO, Rebecca West

Name PINEO, Rebecca West Birth 1 Jun 1795 Cornwallis, Kings, Nova Scotia, Canada 
Gender Female Death 17 Jan 1856 Cornwallis, Kings, Nova Scotia, Canada - Christian Messenger - Wednesday, 26 March 1856 - Page 101 -Mrs. John Newcomb -Died, at her son’s residence, Cornwallis, on the 17th January last, after a distressing illness of more than three years, Rebecca, widow of the late John Newcomb, in the sixty-fourth year of her age. In early life our departed sister was brought by Divine grace to experience a happy interest in Christ, and though young, knew the joy and peace of such as make the Lord their trust. To her there was joy and peace in believing. Years passed on, youth glided into maturity – maturity into age. But amid years and change, and the loss of a beloved husband, the principles of the Gospel comforted and cheered her – her well grounded hope failed not – her prospect of heaven faded not from the eye of faith – Christ was her portion and her all; and by God’s grace she continued even to the end a humble and devoted disciple of the Saviour. During a protracted and painful illness, she felt almost constantly the comforting presence of the Lord, and with much satisfaction and profit enjoyed the prayers and conversation of christian friends who visited her. Such seasons were profitable to the visitor – they saw in a diseased and suffering sister the triumphs of grace, and the assurance of a complete victory over the last enemy. Her final departure was sudden, but in peace, the spirit having done with time ascended to its home in the bosom of a triumphant and glorified church. Seven children mourn their loss, but they rejoice that she whom they loved is amid the blood-washed family in heaven. May they all be fitted by the same Divine instrumentality to meet where their union shall be forever with the Lord.– Com. for the C.M., March 1, 1856.
