Obituary: "In West Tisbury, Sept. 24th, of consumption, Rev. Bartlett
Mayhew, aged 31.
     "Of the character of this beloved brother it is sufficient to
say that he was a good man, and a 'good minister of Christ.' His
death seems premature, for it occurred almost at the close of a long
and thorough course of preparation for ministerial usefulness.
     "A graduate of Brown University in 1854, and of Newton
Theological Institution in 1858, he had been invited to the pastorate
of the 2nd Baptist Church in Exeter, N.H. After laboring with this
church for a few months, he went in the early part of the present
year to visit at his father's house. While there disease began to
exhibit itself to an alarming degree, and he never returned to
Exeter. It was difficult for him at that time to give up his hopes of
accomplishing something more on earth for the salvation of his
fellow-men, but when the writer visited him in the latter part of
last August, he had acquired a spirit of true resignation.  ...
     "Mr. Mayhew leaves a large circle of friends to  lament his
early departure. His youthful widow, his aged parents, and his only
brother, are smitten to the earth before the stroke of the Lord. ...
