"March 18, at Bracknell, Berks, Mr. Mark Bartlett, aged 75
years. He had been an honourable and consistent member of the Baptist church, Fetter Lane, London,
upwards of fifty years, having joined that church when it was under the
pastoral care of the late Abraham Austin. He died triumphing in the Lord Jesus,
exclaiming with peculiar energy, -
I'll speak the honours
of his name
With my last
labouring breath,
And dying, clasp him in
my arms-
The antidote of
death.
Mentioning the word antidote three times, and
again exclaiming, -
"Blessed Jesus! Precious Saviour! Thou
art my strength and my shield - and my joy too;" his aged wife and
children shedding tears of joy because of his victory over death, through the
Lord Jesus. Truly, those who are made righteous by the obedience of ONE, have
hope in death."
He was interred in the Bracknell PM Chapel in Brimfield Road.
Elizabeth died a year earlier aged 75, according to her son-in-law's diary.
Their youngest daughter Ruth emigrated to Australia in 1849 with her family.
