    1. [S16144775095] Records of the Proceedings of Rock Springs Baptist Church, Volume 1, Page 92-93, 14 Dec 1839.
      "According to the request of our late brother and Deacon Charles B. DARROW who departed this life October 28th, 1839, and by previous arrangement a meeting was held at Rock Spring.

      "Elder James LEMEN preached from Phil. 1:21 "To Die is gain." "Thou will show me the path of life: - In thy presence is fullness of joy; at the right hand are pleasures forever more." At the close he gave a short sketch of the character of the deceased.

      "The church resolved that the following tribute to his memory be recorded:

      "Brother DARROW and his wife professed religion in the autumn of 1832, and joined the Methodist Society. Being dissatisfied with that connection, and learning more fully his duty, himself and wife were baptized and united with the Bethel Church in the spring of 1833. In September, 1837, he and nearly twenty other baptist members united with the Rock Spring church. Soon after he was chosen Deacon, and December 24, was ordained to that office in this church, which he faithfully filled till his death. Our brother possessed rare and excellent qualities as a man and a Christian. He was superintendent of our Sabbath School and bible class.

      "He was conscientiously punctual in all his engagements and in all of his appointments in the Sabbath School, the prayer meeting, and the church. His religion was that of the everyday Christian. His light shown steady, and his lamp was ever trimmed and burning. He was industrious in worldly business, yet fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. During his sickness he affirmed that he should not live, set his house in order, gave directions about his funeral, and conversed with death as a familiar friend. His faith was firm, his hope bright, while a holy calmness and resignation possessed his soul amidst the last agonies of dissolving nature. The neighborhood, the church, and especially his bereaved family have sustained an irreparable loss - while to him "To Die is gain".


      He died of a congestive, bilious fever after a severe illness of four weeks, at the age of 33 years, in full hope of a triumphant resurrection and blessed immortality.
