The late Robert Fraser

Kinlochbervie, Sutherlandshire.

The subject of this notice on passed away at Drummond, Oldshore, Kinlochbervie on the fourth day of January last – the first Sabbath of the year – at the age of seventy-one. He was in ailing health for the last two years through heart disease. His death has made a great blank in the Kinlochbervie congregation. I have no doubt but the ministry of the late esteemed Rev. Donald Corbet was spiritually beneficial to him, as we seldom met but some reference was made to Mr. Corbet, with much delight. But Robert’s anchor of hope was in the Rock of Ages, Isaiah 45:25, “In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.” His retentive memory was often a matter of wonder, in quoting texts· and remarks from various ministers. This ability was kept with him to the end, though he was in great suffering for the last fortnight or more. His wife (who is a member of our Church) asked him shortly before the end, “Is your hope sustained?” He replied, “Yes, and much need.”

“Help, Lord, because the godly man

Doth daily fade away;

And from among the sons of men

The faithful do decay.” – Ps.
